OK so I looked at the tables and found that there are 113 ship classes and 90 weapon classes.  This gives you 17 ships to add (unless you delete some or use ship templates) and 110 weapons to add (do countermeasures count?).  Not a lot of breathing room in the ship department.

So to allow more ships we need to use the Inferno build? Why hasnt SCP fixed this, I personally would have considered it a priority if I was editing the game

Bumping is not a trivial matter, in this case, because it breaks EVERYTHING.  (Well, not everything, but most things.)  It's nowhere near as simple as, say, bumping SEXP_NODES (which have been made dynamic anyway).  The two major problems are the pilot files are rendered incompatible and multiplayer doesn't work.  However there are a bunch of other seemingly unrelated issues that follow from these.

And upping the number kills MP how  makes no sence why that happens.
Is someone trying to fix it or has every1 just given up on the subject

I'm guessing the packet format for the server gets out of synch.  It expects to see X number of bytes for ship class id, but sees Y.

Maybe I should check out the sources and see for myself...

Scooby Doo's answer is essentially correct.

Hi Rico.  Enjoy your new title.

Not really.  I just practice tough love.
