Does this work for single player too? cuz I need it for SP

Post Sun Sep 16, 2007 6:36 am

For single player all you have to do is this

<pre><font size=1 face=Courier>

Extract the file DATA\MISSIONS\M01A\m01a.ini with BINI, which you can get here. To extract the file simply drag it onto the BINI icon, and a file called "m01a.ini.txt" will be created. Backup and delete the original file and rename "m01a.ini.txt" to just "m01a.ini". Now you have the mission file for the first mission unencrypted.

Open the file and search for the line:

Act_SetShipAndLoadout = ge_fighter, msn_playerloadout

Comment out the line with a ";" and add a new one underneath with parameters for the eagle, for example:

;Act_SetShipAndLoadout = ge_fighter, msn_playerloadout
Act_SetShipAndLoadout = ge_fighter6, gd_gm_ge_fighter6_loadout01

Thats all there is to it! When you start a new game instead of giving you a puny starflier Juni will present you with an eagle instead - making your life a whole lot easier.

</font></pre>

Credit goes to Accushot on this one as it was his post in the newbie questions thread (its pinned cant miss it) i just reposted it. Need any more info just say
