Is there a MOD where you can possess multiple ships?

Thu Oct 13, 2005 5:48 am by Viper22

Hi
I have a big question: I`ve played several MODs for FL (Evolutions kicks ass) but you can only possess one ship. Now my question is, if you can possess more than one ship at the same time. Of course you can only fly one ship at the same time but you could store the other ones at a base or a planet. With this option a player could for example try out being a trader without having to sell the fighter he possessd before. Or you could collect your favorite ships and fly the one you want. Is there a MOD which allows that or if not, is it difficult to make one?
Thanks for your answers.

I think not (only if you trade your ships) because in FL you own only one ship.
If you want many ships, I suggest the X series.

Hi Viper, Welcome to TLR.

He's correct, neither vanilla, nor mods allow more than one ship at a time. Hard coded in. You can trade ships when you want, and can afford them to try differt types.

It might be possible to creeate a base that would have different ships for sale at 0 credits. Even then you could only "have" 3 ships at once, unless you trued making more than one ship sale place. (wich i guess you could cann garages) But even then it'd be a .ini edit cause you couldn't drive more than one ship to whatever base you used, (or made) so i'd seem more like a cheat than a working mod.

usually the only real hassle of switching ships is getting to your destination, and if it's something as big and (usually) expensive as capships, it's generally better to just start a new character to get the ship you desire. best way to go is to make a trader and line the coffers of all 5 allowed characters on the server with tons and tons of credits. usually this will suffice for a while, and allows you to buy about anything.

you can make a file with several ships so you basically are flying multiple ships and buy them as one, or you could make weapons that look like ships that so you can buy them, but they cant have a sheild unless it is bubbled out a ton which makes it pointless unless you banlance it by making it uberstrong.

maybe someday someone could come up with a way to track which ships you bought and make a custom base that could sell them to you for 0, in effect switching ships but, it can't be done yet and would probably require an addon program, like the way hey do FLHook and FLShell.

I woudn't know enough about programming to make custom dll and exe files from scratch.

there could be another way of doing this but not exactly praticle

change the exe to Freelancer2.exe, then change all references to freelancer.exe to freelancer2.exe, opens up the same game - diff window

dunno if that would work, but it would have the same affect (oh, you wouldnt be able to use the same ID on the server at the same time so youd have to use eiter a seperate compi, OR on the same machine use a diff windows account.

ok im blabbing on
