An other way to make ships.

Post by Malchar » Thu, 18. Nov 21, 20:35

an exemple is here. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2657805078.

Summary it is perfectly possible to use station elements as well as about every other elements present in the game and add it to a ship. I did it slightly with hades https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2652326555, but with the last one, the ship is enterly made with station modules. Of course nothing smaller than Large size can be do like that.

It is Just to inform you, an other tools can be use for modding, and it works. Several elements can be add on the first pseudo ship (that can be a simple cross connection). Macro of following elements are usually reduced to the minimum. It can even be an entire ships that will be reduced as tag = storage and hull imtegrated. After that some cleaning in often necessary in the xml component, like change the class, remove connections we dont want (or susceptible to cause trouble) ; snaps and mission proposals if the target is a building ect ...

Most of you are more exeperienced modder at x serie than I am, I will not speak for ever on things you already know.

MAin info is simply ; it is possible to use element of the game, and deviate them from original purpose. It cover about all what the station editor offer us, and most time we bypass the protection fordiding elements to share the same area.

Have a goos day.

Nota ; if you first element is small and the agglomeration at the end is big, you will have to growth up the size of pseudo ship up to about the size of the assemblage or suffer glitch trying to cross gates.

It's been done before, the Valhalla in 'Rise of the Ossian Raider' is mostly, if not entirely made of terran station-modules. Regardless, it should certainly be done more.
