SW ship speed

I know how to change engines max speed, but it doesn't work for the sith infiltrator and the jedi starflyer, does anyone know how to change it to 80 instead of 160 ?

These ships have twin engines, IIRC.

I understand, but is there a simple way to change the engine type ?
i have created engines with 24000 in max force and i don't know how to use them.

in the file engine_equip.ini adjust the max force = line
if you have two engines on one ship and you want to set max speed to 80 then each engine would be max_force = 24000
max_force = 48000 = 80 for one engine

Thanks, but i already know that.
the problem is that if i change the max speed to 24000, my ship max speed will be 80 but the others ships using the same engine will go at a 40 max speed.
I wat to know how to change the engine.

To change the engine...

Create a new engine in engine_equip.ini, then modify the package entry in goods.ini to use the new engine.


Another way to modify just that ship is to double the mass in shiparch.ini as the speed is calculated from that. Of course, this will affect the handling....

Another way to do it..... : }

[Good
nickname = dark_package
category = ship
hull = dark
addon = co_elite_power01, internal, 1
addon = ge_s_scanner_01, internal, 1
addon = ge_s_tractor_01, internal, 1
addon = ge_bf_engine_01, internal, 1
addon = ge_bf_engine_01, internal, 1 <-----Remove this line
addon = contrail01, HpContrail01, 1
addon = contrail01, HpContrail02, 1
addon = SlowSmallYellow, HpRunningLight01, 1
addon = SlowSmallYellow, HpRunningLight02, 1
addon = SlowSmallYellow, HpRunningLight03, 1
</source>
</data>

By doing this, the ship only has 1 engine..which will set you back to default speed.
