Changing Ships Powerplant

Wed Dec 31, 2003 1:00 pm by Kheiron

I'm trying to even out the ships in Freelancer so the Outcasts aren't so powerful compared to the Liberty Police and Liberty's Navy ship aren't bottom level stuff.
I know how to alter everything but the ships powerplant. I dont want to stick level 6 guns on the Patriot if they drain all power in one shot.
So my question is, how to I alter the ships powerplant so it can support heavier weapons?

In the Equipment folder the file misc_equip.ini
Notice the difference in capacity, charge_rate, thrust_capacity and thrust_charge_rate in examples ge_fighter_power01 through ge_fighter6_power01 and all the way up to infinite_power

All you have to do is find out which nickname goes with the ship.
