Help With Making Staer9's Bushmaster Buyable

I find staer9's design for the Bushmaster to be infatuating, and I feel like the stats are perfect for a starter mining vessel. I've messed around in the shipyard.plist and shipdata.plist files in way similar to how I've added vessels using pre-existing models before, but only seem to make the files unreadable regardless of my approach.
Does anyone have advice, or a modded set of files which make the bushmaster buyable? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hej Twisp,
I'm currently tinkering with something similar (Making the staer9 ships as stand alone, easier to fix and maintain). I shamelessly stole following
shipyard.plist entry from pagroove's oldships (hi there, thanks for the tip!).
You also need a staer9_bushmaster_miner-player section in your shipdata.plist as well. (Cut/Copy/Paste and/or use like_ship). Seems to work here. I still got problems with the engines not being displayed correctly, which however might be just a Linux Problem.
shipyard.plist
Code: Select all

Ps. Griff's Bug is not too bad as a mining vessel as well.

Thank you very much for the assistance, Amah. It works perfectly.
EDIT: Im trying to find the OXP containing the "bug" mentioned by you. It looks pretty sweet, but I cant find data on it in the shipyard or shipdata .plist's, and every mention of Ive found seems to list both it and the wolf mk. 2 as seperate OXPs. Can someone throw me a DL for either or both of those?
