Keep in mind that my savegame the "broke" Adder also has no missile or heat shielding.
. Then finally you can upgrade your hold to 5 and do some "serious" trading. Just love it

You're right about that with savefiles you can set the start system, amongst other things. However, from the user experience side, I find this solution nicer. As a personal preference, I actually only want to change the ship when I start a new game.Wildeblood wrote:If not, scripting seems an inferior solution than a selection of save-game files.
It is possible to modify the source code to reach this kind of option, although instead of reading savegames I had the code read aWildeblood wrote:Can you start in different systems or charts, or only with different ships?

starting-players.plist file in the Config folder. This made it like Frontier, where you could press 1, 2 or 3 instead of Space at the beginning of a new game to select different starting settings (ship, position, money, legal status). However as was stated before, I do not believe changing the start position with existing scripting commands is achievable... 
read the text I have written and correct the errors for me. After that I will up the version to 1.0 and make a release.

I especially like your having the corolis graphic (as shown at the start of the thread).. Maybe this can be an example to someone.I thought so too, but could not find a way to do it.Switeck wrote:I think in Oolite v1.77 you can call a ship by name rather than resorting to roles, so you need not create more ships just to display what already exists.
I would appreciate an example, if it can be done.Enclose the ship's data key in square brackets. e.g.spara wrote:I thought so too, but could not find a way to do it.Switeck wrote:I think in Oolite v1.77 you can call a ship by name rather than resorting to roles, so you need not create more ships just to display what already exists.
