change that to something like:

that should make it fire at same rate as nomad cannon I believe.

appreciate it....thanks for your help ^ ^

sinja,

Welcome to TLR. The nice thing about TLR is that there are very nice members who take the time to make compilations of tutorials and help forums. There, you can find all the information you need about basic modding. So in the future, if you need help, look at the stickied threads at the top of the page.

Welcome

I will...thank you....but I do have one last question, I looked around the tutorials, but I have yet to find how to modify cruise speed....I may have just missed it....but if u could tell me how, or direct me to the link in the tutorials I would be grateful......

At top of this forums there is a red stickied folder that says Modding and Editing Questions - Please Read First. Inside click on the second link How to Mod/Database of answers - its got everything. Just scroll through that it contains links to hundreds of questions. Your answer is in there.

dude, I know, I looked in there, but what I want to change is cruise speed, you know shift+w, not thrusters.

U didn't look good enough obviously or you would have seen:

Page 10
Changing loadouts of starting ships
Setting different loot for wrecks
ideas for making weapons ship type mountable
Increasing cruise speed

The cruise speed can be changed by adding a line to the constants.ini file which is located in...
C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Freelancer/DATA
The line you need to add is...
CRUISING_SPEED = 10000
I have mine set high for testing MOD's.
Just add that line at the end of the [EngineEquipConsts section like I have it here in the example of a constants.ini file below.
Keep in mind that the right facing brackets ( [ ) don't show up in the forums.

thanks....and sorry
I was in too much of a rush to find that section in the forum, I should have been more patient I apologize Illusion

Hi Im desperate for someone to make an open sp mod but not just any open sp mod. the latest one from chips has bugs like starting at level 19 at min. and Serious docking problems like wierd camera views, people asking you to go to a different docking bay than I go to and I"M STILL STUCK INSIDE OF A BUILDING IN THE NEW YORK SYSTEM!!! so I have an Idea for a great mod that lets you do all kinds of stuff and you can find it in the Modders needed section of the freelancer forums with the topic called Help! could someone make thisd mod?

Level = value. If your ship is worth more than 1k, you will automatically be level 1 anyway, if its worth 10k - your level 3.

Cameras are due to enabling the docking of large ships. This can be removed by deleting the solararch.ini file of the MOD (NOT the game), only in the mods folder. However, you will no longer be able to dock/use any capships/transports.
