lol this was a great bit of helpful info:

"To add ships but not crash the game, don't add ships"

Yes, you certainly are a genius.

I used to hate weddings cause all my aunts and grandmas would poke me and say "Your next sonny[!" They stopped when I started doing it to them at funerals

what i think he means to say is...dont modifiy the ships in the shiparch....just add new ones to the end of the file...(without using the same nickname as an already existing ship)

or...create a new file with the ship and add the file through freelancer.ini *grin*

I made my own "debug" ship, i have never had it crash. its an entirly new entry and i havent had any probs

You guys still arent getting me...

OK. Never add new stuff to shiparch.ini, IF YOU ARE GOING TO PLAY ON A SERVER WHICH HAS NO MOD INSTALLED, or YOU ARE RUNNING A SERVER WITH CLIENTS WHO DONT HAVE THE MOD INSTALLED.
IT causes crashing.

Oh yea, you can edit things in shiparch, but not add new entries, otherwise it will crash mp.

He's right if your trying to mod the game with info / refrences the server doesnt have to hand / coded into its own files then you will not be able to leave the planet you start on.

I am actually planning a server based mod, so you info was very handy had to have a quick test and yep the remote server i was playing on died as soon as i tried to leave the space dock
