hey dude,

well,

if its the level you have to be to buy a ship its in the market_ships.ini under the base you want it to be sold on.

if its the level of the weapons you need to add lines like "hp_type = hp_gun_special_10, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03, HpWeapon04, HpWeapon05, HpWeapon06, HpWeapon07, HpWeapon08, HpWeapon09" in the appropriate ship in ship_arch.ini.

for the power cell you can either swap its existing power cell with one of the vhf power cells in the appropriate ship package in misc_equip.ini (got this wrong the first time doh!)- i tend to use the eagles so i end up with a line that looks like this "addon = co_elite2_power01, internal, 1" or you coud create your own ( probably not worth it though)

if its the engine you want to change then thats also in the package - either chooses an existing engine or make your own.

im not totally sure about strafe force/power but i suspect its the speed and power consumption of using strafe

all the above changes however would apply to ALL instances of that ship so most mod makers make a copy with a unique name and modify that instead.

hope this helps dude,

glad to hear you searched - this info IS out there but it can be buried quite deep inside tutorials etc.

I figured adding those lines to the mentioned first for weapon level was the way to go, but when ever I did it never worked. Also, when editing ship prices, doing so seems to disable the entire MOD thing. Its so weird. Same thing with power cells, and level requirements. It just doesn't work, and I'm sure I'm doing it right. Maybe its FLMM, but I doubt it.

shasla,

are you remembering to de-activate the mod and close flmm before changing the script?

remember any equipment that comes with the ship affects the price at the dealers - so if it comes with an expensive shied the price is never going to be $100 unless you change the price of the shield as well.

i know you are probably aware of all these things but i thought id better check in order to rule them out.
