Ive tryed in hours to look thuogh all the ini files, to spot the place where ur starting ship in multi stands! I just cant find it

The ship i started with was the nomad fighter, but that didnt work!

Then i just began to test every ini file by deleting all there couldt look like some ship informations, but still. Nothing happend when i createt a new player!!!

Maybe some of ur guys know what i need to do?

I really like to know where that string %%PACKAGE%% leeds to!!!

I'm guessing here, because i only have the demo so i can't test the but here go's nothing

im assumming this info located in newcharacter.ini is the starting MP ship.

[Package
nickname = ge_fighter
strid_name = 11051
strid_desc = 11551
ship = ge_fighter
loadout = MP_ge_fighter
money = 2000

loadout = MP_ge_fighter
You'll find this in the loadouts.ini file looks like this.

[Loadout
nickname = MP_ge_fighter
archetype = ge_fighter <-------Maybe change this to no_fighter, this links to shiparch.ini
equip = ge_gf1_engine_01
equip = shield01_mark01_lf, HpShield01
equip = ge_fighter_power01
equip = ge_s_scanner_01
equip = ge_s_tractor_01
equip = ge_s_thruster_01, HpThruster01
equip = li_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon01
equip = li_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon02
equip = LargeWhiteSpecial, HpHeadlight
equip = SlowSmallOrange, HpRunningLight01
equip = SlowSmallOrange, HpRunningLight02
equip = SlowSmallOrange, HpRunningLight05
equip = contrail01, HpContrail01
equip = contrail01, HpContrail02
equip = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight01
equip = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight02
cargo = ge_s_battery_01, 3
cargo = ge_s_repair_01, 3

You might need to change the ge_fighter references to no_fighter in the newcharacter.ini.

That's about all i can tell you, without testing it.

You can't change it unless you do it on your own server.
The starting char is made serverside (I'm pretty sure of this anyway).
If you want a nomad, I think you have to make it buyable on Manhatten.

I cant find the No fighter inside the goods.ini file???

That's because it is not buyable under normal circumstances (IE, unmodified), and thus is not in the goods.ini or marketships.ini file. You'll have to add that bit yourself. At any rate, it should be similar to other ship's parts in goods.ini.
