How do you disable standard ships so they don't appear in the selling window when you goto the shipyard? I want to make my own, but want to edit off the standard, but I don't want to use all the standard ships. I only want a few types of ships available in the game. I also beleive that when a new character starts, they get the ship in ID 1, right?

Also the same question for planets as well (Disabling Standard Planets)

Change the deployment method to manual to disable the default ships at dock. Yes, new characters start in ship ID 1, and people coming back from #SD# start in ship ID 2.

Ah, forgot that one about ship id 2... Thanks Harley.

What if you want ship id 2 to be available for people who get SD, but not to buy from shipyard? Do you do the same thing? Manual deployment?

I'm not really sure, honestly. Might make for an interesting edit if it worked that way. In order to get a really good ship, you have to get #SD#'d :)

Wow! Learn something new everyday. Thanks Harley and Outlaw. I think joining this forum was a good idea. I have learned so much about running my server that I didn't know just in the short time I've been here.

I always wondered about how to start folks off with a bit more in a ship then they normally would. It never occurred to me that it would have something to do with ship and the ID specific. WOW! I just re-banged all my games, but the next time around I may be modifying it a bit.

You know I was thinking about this. It seems to me that if the ship is ID 1 and set to manual deployment it should still be the starting ship. I will test it too and see what I come up with.

Thanks again,
Brian

Budwieser did something similiar on his TWGS a long time ago. Basically he gave PODS 8:1 odds and 400k fighters. And dying brought you into the game with a billion creds on hand. Anyone remember that Game?

If you want to make a ship available for players that get **SHIP DESTROYED** but is not available for players to buy from the Stardock, put it in as Ship#0 in place of the generic Escape Pod.

NOTE, HOWEVER, that any ship with an escape pod that gets destroyed will get this new Ship#0 instead, so be very careful how you edit.

Unless you create another ship, set it as a pod, make it manual, and then edit all other ships to use this new ship as a pod. :)

I just did a custom pod named an X-Boat for my Traveller edits, the X-Boat Tender pods into an X-Boat which has more holds than a pod would have. Worse odds than a pod, but can be used to make some more credits by having more holds than a pod would hold.

I had another game edit where I am trying to make custom pods for various ships so that poding in those ships gets you a different ship. Only way to get these ships is to be podded.
