Hello,

how can I change the Ships and Equipment of the enemies I meet in Space? Which Files do I have to alter?

And is it possible to make it random? For example, that there is a slight chance for a ship to carry (and use) a certain Weapon and might drop it, when it is destroyed?

Also, is it possible to make destroyed ships drop their shields and thrusters also, when destroyed?

Greetings,
Laconda

ncpships.ini
faction_prop.ini

thats where the ships for the factions are

in order to change the equipment you will have to edit the loadouts.ini

to let ships drop items you probably can add these items as cargo to the ships
cargo = item, 1

then you need to create a cargodrop fuse and add it to the ships (shiparch.ini)

	Source code
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8	[fuse] name = drop_cargo_fuse lifetime = 0.010000 death_fuse = false [dump_cargo] at_t = 0.00000 origin_hardpoint = HpMount

Thanks. Is there the possibility of setting a fixed drop-chance?
...or even make it random which equipment a ship uses at each encounter?

not with this method
using cargo drop fuses all cargo items get dropped

for random loot drops you need to take a look at the LootProps.ini
but is a bit more complicated to make this work

For Missions you can edit
DATA RandomMissions RMLootInfo.ini
eg

	Source code
1 2 3 4 5 6	[RMBonusLoot] archetype = ge_s_tractor_02 num_to_drop = 1 faction = all difficulty_range = 40, 100 weight = 5

for normal system encounters
DATA Missions LootProps.ini
eg

	Source code
1 2 3	[mLootProps] nickname = special_gun15 drop_properties = 25, 646965, 646965, 0, 2, 1

edit the loadouts with the items you wish too drop at Data Ships *loadout.ini
i think mounted stuff drops, although works as cargo
cargo = your_item, numeric_amount

hope this helps
