Title: Modifying Ship stats in FRED.
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on February 14, 2003, 02:31:11 pm

I know that you can already alter a ship's weapons in FRED, but how about altering its speed, hull strength, manouverability and so on? This might be hard to work, but could you have it create a temporary tbl entry or something?

It would certainly make it easy to create sub-classes of ships, like a refit of an Orion, with more powerful engines, and thicker armour, and such.

You can just add a copy of the ship info in your tbl and edit the stats to get your refit. That's easy enough :)

Yeeess, but doing it through FRED would be even easier.

For you maybe, but I like my good ol' wordpad. :D Its easy as hell. I think this should have a very low priority in the SCP.

Well, better customization without actual modding can be only good thing.
