Buyable "Utilities"

This has been covered like a million times....but i will do it 1 more! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> (please use the search function next time) the EASIEST way is to open the Goods.ini and add these entries... [Good nickname = csv_hull category = shiphull ship = ge_csv price = 400 ids_name = 12001 item_icon = Equipmentmodelscommodities
n_iconsli_elite.3db [Good nickname = csv_package category = ship hull = csv_hull addon = ge2_fighter_engine_01, internal, 1 addon = ge2_fighter_power01, internal, 1 addon = LargeWhiteSpecial, HpHeadlight, 1 addon = SlowSmallBlue, HpRunningLight01, 1 addon = SlowSmallBlue, HpRunningLight02, 1 addon = SlowSmallBlue, HpRunningLight03, 1 addon = SlowSmallBlue, HpRunningLight04, 1 addon = SlowSmallBlue, HpRunningLight05, 1 addon = contrail01, HpContrail01, 1 addon = contrail01, HpContrail02, 1 addon = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight01, 1 addon = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight02, 1 and then add it toa base. thats teh EASY way...the other way is to create new powerplants, engines...etc..etc...this is just the fastest way... all the other ships can be done this way too...for transports...copy the entry and paste it at the bottom of the shiparch.ini and change its &quot;nickname&quot;/... [Ship ids_name = 237055 ids_info = 66609 nickname = ge_train &lt;------original LODranges = 0, 300, 450, 750, 950, 4500 msg_id_prefix = gcs_refer_shiparch_ctransport mission_property = can_use_med_moors type = TRANSPORT DA_archetype = shipsutilityfreight_trainfreight_trainx2.3db material_library = shipsutilityutility_misc.mat material_library = fxenvmapbasic.mat envmap_material = envmapbasic linear_drag = 1.000000 mass = 500.000000 hold_size = 1000000 change to....
