does anyone know how to create encounters with custom ships? i have been using the tie mod on my server, and people would love to fight them..i have managed to replace one of the existing ship models, and modified the loadout so that ties can be fought against, but ideally i would like to be able to create a new encounter which uses a tiefighter loadout (rather than an existing ship being modified). i've looked into this problem for a few hours and have hit a block..can any of you help? thanks in advance

"The second?"

Well...that sure was a stupid post Bale. Damn noobs. Decado: Interesting Idea...I'm sure if you find out how to do regular encounters and then just change the name it should work, but this is just speculation.

i can add normal encounters, & have been trying to build from there..

[zone
nickname = zone_dec01_enc_area
pos = -83976, 0, 49931
shape = ELLIPSOID
size = 9000, 7000, 9000
sort = 5
toughness = 4
density = 8
repop_time = 20
max_battle_size = 4
pop_type = lootable_field
relief_time = 35
faction_weight = fc_x_grp, 8
encounter = area_scavenger, 4, 0.800000
faction = fc_x_grp, 1.000000

i added that encounter to a new system, and it worked fine, so i looked at area_scavenger.ini, which is as follows

[EncounterFormation
ship_by_class = 1, 1, sc_fighters
pilot_job = scavenger_job
make_class = wanderer
formation_by_class = fighters
behavior = wander
arrival = all
allow_simultaneous_creation = yes
zone_creation_distance = 0
times_to_create = infinite

[Creation
permutation = 0, 5

the problem i have is this ship_by_class = 1, 1, sc_fighters i cant find sc_fighters anywhere else, and i think thats probly where i need to set the model i want to use

anyone else looked at or looking into this?
