It is out there somewhere, and the simplest way invloves opening the cmp file with utf_edit and adding a new hardpoint named Hp/Fixed/Hp_Engine02 and then adding the engine into the loadout of the ship

ok, at the risk of sounding stupid, what file do I find the loadout in?

EDIT: oh and why is it that when I try to download UTF Edit I get kicked to the "FreelancerMisc.Database.xls" download page??

There's always free cheese in a mousetrap

Ok, first off, do NOT go into any UTF program, it's NOT needed. All you have to do is open up data/equipment/goods.ini then find the ship you want...i think the Eagle is gf6_package...then find the line "addon = ge_gf6_engine_01, internal, 1"
copy that line, and paste it back in right under it. Then change the ge_gf6_engine_01 to ge_gf6_engine02

Those hardpoints that pSYCHO referred to are for the flame effects, NOT the actual engines.

tried that, didn't make any difference

I goofed and told you to just copy the line...what you need to do is look at my previous message again, i fixed it. Change the engine_01 to engine_02 on the copy you make and it'll work.

ok, and do you know by chance what the sabre's ID is in the goods.ini?

tried it on bwe2_package (which the excel database says it should be) and it doesn't have any effect at all

hey duders,

this thread may be of use ;

ooo click me! , click me!!

basically if i were you id just make a new engine that goes twice as fast and replace the one in the existing package with it .

You can do it the easy way by changing the max_force =
The default is 48000 for all engines, so if you increase the max_force =
you go like lickety split....

You want to edit the DATA\EQUIPMENT\engine_equip.ini
file and for the eagle look for
nickname = ge_gf6_engine_01

[Engine
nickname = ge_gf6_engine_01
ids_name = 263676

cruise_disrupt_sound = cruise_disrupt
cruise_backfire_sound = cruise_backfire
indestructible = false
outside_cone_attenuation = -3
inside_sound_cone = 60
outside_sound_cone = 180

ok so I know it's been discussed, but where do you kick up the cruise speed at cause with a force of 180000 your thruster speed is 300

not sure what ur askin, but if it helps, all "max_force" is 600 times the speed you want it to be.

how do you set the cruise speed higher? I've got the regular speed up to almost a lot faster than what I want it but the cruise speed would be nice if it were quicker.....

constants.ini

CRUISE_SPEED = ... <- whatever u prefer

this is global for all ships -> all ships will cruise at this speed.
you can mount 2 or more engines on a ship to increase this (double, triple, ...) but that will mess up enginekill. as Chips said: you go ZZooooooommmm

you "might" get problems if u set it very high - autopiloting in asteroid fields (badlands) would be such a thing. one word: pinball
