anyone figure out how to edit what ships you start with?

from Sins Forums
I went through nearly all of the files inside gameinfo that didn't start with ability*.* buff*.* research*.* in there name to find the file that sets the starting ships.

it doesnt seem to be in the ship files themselves or anything to do with the ships(their techs or factories that make them files).
it doesnt seem to be in game setup file (forgot exact name).
it doesnt seem to be in constants file.

trying to figure this out, so I can try adding a new unique ship type(doesnt exist atm) at the start of the game.

yeah i went looking for that as well..

about the only interesting thing i saw was a way to add pirates to your home system at the start of the game.. And no i haven't tried this.

I wonder if its possible to even seperate the starting ships atm, or seperate the flagship from normal battleships(what Im trying to do ).

The file to edit that allows you to specify which ships you start with is:  GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef

You will need to define the ship if it is a new custom ship in the 'planetItemTypeCount' section, where you give it a 'designName' like:  "Vulcan:Frigate:Scout", and the reference to the entity, e.g. entityDefName "FrigateVulcanScout". Make sure you increment the planetItemTypeCount value by 1 if you're adding 1 ship.

You will then need to decide whether you're adding it to Psi, Phase or TEC and locate the appropriate section to add it.   You'll find this section if you scroll down in the file to: 'planetItemsTemplate', and for the section:  templateName "Template:DefaultHomePlanetSetup", you'll append your new planetItem to the existing list, e.g. item "Vulcan:Frigate:Scout".  Also, increment the item count here as well.

Why did you do this? The forums are not an RPG, you won't level up your necromancy skill no matter how many threads you revive. Unless you this is some forum of trolling, it which case you earned 25xp. ;)
