Problem is that it won't let me mount more than 1 thruster and it won't let me mount anything other than LF shields. I really need it to mount a VHF shield, even if I can't get the second thruster. Anyone know what I've done wrong?

Did you include hardpoints labelled HpShield01 and HpThruster01 and 02 to your model? WIthout it its a no go.

If you want more HP with your shield, just edit the ST_equip.ini file

Yes they're all there. And I don't want to modify the existing shields, I want to use the top of the line lvl 10 ones but the code refuses to work. Could that be related to the Infocards or something? In the ship dealer the infocard is that of the Startracker (or flyer, not sure) and the image is the pirate VHF. Could this affect the shield ratings (the hardpoint in the game will only let me mount LF shields, and the StarX is a LF so maybe this has something to do with it)?
