Hi I am a total newb when it comes to modding. I am interested in doing several things and was wondering if anyone new how i could get started. Okay first I would like to know how to create new commodities as well as set the buy and sell prices at the different bases. I would also like to know how to add custom factions and how you get them to appear at random while out in space. I also want to know all about ship modding. More specifically on how to add hardpoints, how to make all hardpoints universal so they can be used for anything the player wants, how to get rid of level restrictions for ship hard points, and eventually i would like to know how to create my own ship all together. I want to be able to apply all these mods to both multiplayer and single player sides of the game, but my ultimate goal is to run a modded server that will not require a client side mod or mod manager by those that wish to play on the server. I have been experimenting with the Ion Cross Freelancer server operator and would like to go beyond what I can already do with it. Any help will be greatly appreciated, I hope this is not too much to ask for on my first post. Thanks in advance.
