Creating a playable capital ship

Post by JazHaz »

Been thinking about creating an OXP that gives a player-flyable capital ship, on a similar vein to the one that Smivs's is working on. One question though, if the ship is too big to dock, how do you test such a ship? Can the player ship be changed via the console?

Maybe you could start a Kickstarter Campaign to found your £4500 pledge. 8)
Thanks to Gimi, I got an eBook in my inbox tonight (31st May 2014 - Release of Elite Reclamation)!

Yes, but only while docked. The player ship isn't checked for compatibility with dock size, though, so you can launch just fine, and dock again with station.dockPlayer()

Ah, cool, I was worried about that. Don't hold your breath for the OXP though! :twisted:
