There are two persistent yellow archtype errors seen on the server console when developing
a mod in a LAN environment that have plagued us from the birth of Freelancer. In other words,
they were there to begin with.

I have discovered their source at last, mostly by accident and partly due to working previously
on this problem with Reynen and the TNG mod. So some of the credit goes to him.

The problems are in solararch.ini and loadouts_special.ini. They may also be in some of the
individual system ini files as well, but I have only confirmed that this works in the New York system.
The nature of the solution makes it obvious that if you are seeing these errors in a certain system that
contains a base that looks like a battleship, you should check that system ini file to make sure the
call for that base is correct.

If someone else has already discovered how to fix these, I am unaware of it and will
gladly not claim credit for it. But I just found it tonight.

The problem is this:

solararch.ini calls a moving ship loadout as a loadout in two static solar objects,
specifically 2 calls to loadout = l_dreadnought.

loadouts_special.ini declares specific loadouts for BASES that look like Battleships and
these have an "_01" at the end. They also have engines listed in them and this is the
problem. To solve the problem do the following:

Step one is to remove the equip = "whatever_engine" from the BASE battleship declarations
that are meant to be used with static solar objects. These decs are used in the individual
system ini files, such as LI01.ini, etc. where the system contains a base that looks like a battleship.
The Dreadnought loadout is used also in solararch.ini as previously stated.

Step two is to replace the 2 Solar Object loadout declarations in solararch.ini with the
proper static loadouts from loadouts_special.ini.

See examples below

Problems solved. Thank You Microsoft.

From loadouts_special.ini

[Loadout;This is a declaration to be used with a static solar object

;compare it with a standard file to see the differences

From solararch.ini, there are TWO objects which use the li_dreadnought loadout in error.
This is one of them:
