It's not about changing it, it's about how to make things different and interresting in a new way, to keep things from getting boring.

I'd start with a Titan, that way it would still be dificult, as you can only get level 1/2/3 guns and such.
Wouldn't that be cool

you can change the starting ship
if you are the admin of a server you can select whatever you want people to have
freeport 9 server gives you the anubis as a starter ship

I didn't know Capt. Tylor's underlying plan of forcing people to trade, when I arrived at Manhattan, only to find a Rhino and $500 credits. First I checked the wrecks, but they were clean, so I drove over to Pueblo sta., took a lvl 1, anti-Xeno mission, being sure it was in Copperton field, flew to within 5 kliks of the mission waypoint, and leisurely shot rocks, until I had 80 ingots of copper, then took out the Starfliers with that puny gun, flew back to Pueblo, sold the copper for $32,000, sold the junk from the Xenos, and with the mission's $2250, I had about $35k and several options. I come from a time when we had to make do with what we had, so I enjoy this kind of challenge.

Good thing I'm from the Digital era or in Dutch The "Patat" generation
(translation: Patat=French Fries, or in English also know as chips, but without the fish )

**** all of that give me a good escape pod anyday.

Go to our boards.

some worthwhile things I noted when fooling with the loadout.ini file inthe data\ships folder. All of these apply to the server patch.

The patch can boot a player for numerous reasons.
having an npc shield
having an infinite power plant
placing a class 10 weapon in a class 5 hardpoint
having the uber shield and hull

I'm still digging around some more, but I thought this info might be useful to anyone who seeks to change the starting ship on their server. I'll post a quick tutorial when I do some more research.
