How do you make engines sellable

Tue Aug 03, 2004 1:12 pm by Phoenix_IRA

Hey

I was just wondering if you could make it so the game will let you sell your engine. I have bases selling engines and that but i cna tget mine off the ship. Also how do u make it jetison in space. everything else will cept the engine. Do i have to make it lootable first or something?

Another question. Is there any easy way to nake NPCs enter into formation with you. If anyones figures this out, then we might just have some escort missions.........

thx all

You can't sell the engine on your ship....thus, selling engine's is pointless. It is hardcoded into the game so don't go trying to change it, you will get nowhere. There may be loopholes however. As to the NPC thing, don't count on it.

sorry bud engines are basically the only thing not sellable....you can make addon engine packs to basically enhance the out put and such...but you cannot sell the original or the newly bought one for that matter....kinda sucks really...anyone know why you can sell the tractor, powerplant, scanner...etc and not the engine......?

Why can't engines be sellable? You should just be able to add in the good, and of course change the engine to "lootable = true". Dunno as I've never tried it, but it should work just fine. Of course you won't be able to launch without one. I'll try it out next week sometime.

Its been programmed in to not be able to sell - nothing to do with ini files

ok thx fellas, thats ok...it was only a thought

But another thing.....how on earth do you add more hardpoints onto the ships...for instance - more ports for shields, thrusters, powerplants, etc etc. It would be nice to have 2 thrusters.

I hope i dont have to edit the ship model at all....coz...im kinda lost there....ini editing is all im good at
