Hey. How do you start a dedicated server with the non-default ship/credits? Thanks for any help.

Well a mod is needed for that, i can make one for you if you want.

I was hoping it'd be possible to do it by editing mpnewplayer.fl
I've managed to change the starting money and player level, but not the ship or location.

I know how to change the money and starting ship in mpnewcharacter, i'll have to post the whole thing l8er I am going to church in a few but heres how to change the money.

in mpnewcharacter.fl
open it up and scroll down just a tad(you might not have to scroll down) but when you see
money = %%MONEY%%

you change it to

money = 1000000

and then you'll start out with 1 million credits
Dont add commas and space before and after the = sign
You can change the money to what ever you want but i would advise you not to give starting players to much money or else they wont have a challenge

be sure to save it after you change it.

The ship deal is a little more complicated
i'll post it a little later
