Designing a new ship was well covered by Mica, but on a similiar line, what about existing designs? How do we find out what they consist of (ship editor version)? Assuming that we have the bps, or the tech, what then? It would be silly to research a design and not know until it's finished what it suspose to look like. Help! Llywelyn larry@lwlawrence.com | |||

the TM for the BP should have the extract you need to copy and paste into the ships.cfg file of the editor - I believe all of them have this now, but I'm not 100% sure The tech isn't sufficient in itself to get the TM for the bp, unless the design is designated as common - many people have customised designs coming from the various EEM techs for example Dan | |||

Tried that.... nada. here's what you get >Date 37.4: Tech Manual {25006} Caravel (25006) - 100 mus Item Type: Blueprint (Normal) Production Limit: 20 Required for Item: 6 Prerequisites: 1 EEM Medium Freighters - 75Lm (9718) Thanks tho' ... and I do have the underlying tech/principles.

Odd.... for some reason your BP doesn't have the details..... Here's one I did earlier
So copy/paste the Ship lines into the Ship Editor to get your final config in there. Have fun! | |||

Did you try to get the TM using a colony and a "Request Update" order? If you do that then for some reason you get a blank TM back. Try issuing the TM order at a colony then wait for its normal printout and you should be OK. | |||

I placed in my normal orders at the Starbase producing the ships-- bps tooled and copies exits. Waited until my next report.... Blank. Have sent in a SA stating that my new boss talks w/the Shipyard Manager and asks about what they include. Added in the SA that we have the Tech, BPs, and are currently producing same but nobody appears to know what one looks like. <g> Da#@@ those FET and their stealth technology (can't see anything ) And on the Caravel... Thanks Clay! Llywelyn |
