1: Use the ini extractor downloadable from the lancerreactors website to extract the following files. They are shiparch.ini from the ships folder, engine_equip.ini, goods.ini, market_ships.ini, market_misc.ini, weapon_equip.ini, st_equip.ini, misc_equip.ini, st_good.ini and weapon_good.ini from the equipment folder. Note: this is all found in the data folder.

2: Rename all the extracted files from (original file name).txt.ini to just (original file name).ini

3: Place this line inside the shiparch.ini file:

Lots of high powered guns on this one with an extensive power bank to draw on and lots of armor. Turn rate is slower than other battleships. This one’s designed to play the tank. Range on the guns are shorter than other ships though so watch out for Order railcannon shots, long range beam weapons and high speed torpedoes.

Thank you VERY much!
Now there's only one Battleship left-the Kusari one. Could you please do it? I wanna put all the Bships on and make a "Nation War" server. You know, players'll side with a different zone, and each would drive that zone's ship... The Osiris would be on a faraway planet in the border worlds, as a "secret" ship.

Of course, you'll get all the credit...

thanks a lot!!! but how do u remove the docking ring collision files?

i have the same problem when undocking, i tried out the kusari battleship and it also has that problem.... anyone knows how to solve it??

theres a loudouts.ini in data\solar\ with the loudouts of some objects including docking ring but it seems i cant fix it from there

Yes really GOOD WORK! But i can't fly with it because it explods at the docking ring. Where i can shut down the collision?

Look for a file by the name of docking_ringx2_lod.sur. Rename it to something else and it'll become a ghost ring. You can see it but you can't touch it and vice versa. It's in the data\solar\dockable folder.
As for the kusari battleship, i am currently waiting for the testers to get back to me about an experimental dockable player controlled battleship so its no go yet.

I can pass the Docking Ring but then i explode because the ship is so long -> you can't fly around with it.

Maybe the Docking Turrets?

Great job on the Bship!

I have the same problem, before the ship is getting close to the docking ring it's blown up because it's in the planet... :0



Could you HELP please?

mmhhh. Got a prob. I`m not very experienced with this.
I did everything you wrote. But when I go to th Manhatten ship dealer I can only get the normal stuff. I noticed that when I save my ini files, (working with flide) they are completly different when I load them again...is there a different program?

any way i can remove the planet atmosphere so i can be very closed to the planet without exploding?

I could bypass the exploding ship problem by buying a billion nanobots and shield batteries and mashing the "F" and "G" buttons, but for some reason my server crashed two seconds after I left the atmosphere. Also, in the purchase menu, the battleship is titled "Bretonia Battleship" (?), and there was no big shield available for purchase on the planet where I put the ship on (I already had something on Manhattan, so I put it on Pittsburgh).

The exploding ship problem should be solved... And, if it's just not possible, maybe the atmosphere of specific planets can be removed... It's prodably hardcoded, but if it's not, it'll be worth checking. Anyway, I'm off to bed (it's late here in Israel, and even with a war raging around us we need to sleep ). Do try solving the battleship problems if you have time for it, as it will make takeoffs far more enjoyable. And survivable.

Always look on the bright side of life.

i am 2 from ISRAEL i tried to change the radius to 1 but it didnt work...
maybe there is a way to change the ship start point when undocking a planet.
I dont know.

מה המצב עם המלחמה? עדיין יש איום על ישראל?

I'll give it a try but i can't guarantee anything. There is a way to strip planetary atmosphere but you could try looking up any planet/atmosphere files with the type .sur. All sur files are used for collisions.
