Cheated Ships??

Make your own ships??

Make your own ships with polygons. Put the pieces together and add textures and decorate. It seems like a great deal.

... yes, just install x3editor2 & edit the file: ..\types\TShips (anywhere in the .cat files)

"armor" = "hull"
more than 2GJ per shield are bugged, but you can use 50 x 2GJ shields on any ship you want
speed up to 2000m/s & more are also possible

what is bugged with them? i know that more than 2TJ (=2000GJ) total shield value makes problems, but some bug with more than 2GJ is new to me, especially since 10GJ Shields are vanilla content...

Can I make Gama PPC shield penetrating for super weapons?

And is it possible to increase power of ammo based weapons such as gun that fire projectiles that penetrate a shield but explode like mini hornet missiles on a ship?

Shield attributes: Is it possible to make a lower class shield just absorb more damage such as 1MJ shield able to absorb as much as a 10GJ shield or just block every energy based weapon as a cheat?

Open the TBullet-file, check the "Ignore shields" box and go test. It would be a ridiculous weapon though, as a single PPC could kill anything up to an M2 with a few shots.

I also imagine it would be extremely annoying, as your shiny new 150 million destroyer would risk having half its hull blasted away if it ever entered a fight with another ship. Then, as the ship slowed to a crawl it would get shot to pieces by the second volley, with little to no chance of escaping.

As a footnote: Unless you're playing Reunion there is no Gamma PPC.

The amount of damage done per shot is fairly easy to edit, so if you want something like a mass driver that does 200 000 hitpoints of damage then sure. It's as simple as changing a value in the TBullet file, save it and then start a new game.

You won't get explosions though, as weapons visual effects is a whole different ballgame.

You could of course change the capacity of the 1 MJ shield to 10 GJ and still call it a 1 MJ shield if you want to. It would be a nightmare though, as the weak generators of fighters and such would take flippin' ages to recharge it after taking a hit.

Also, shields already stop any incoming projectile, be they energy based, missiles or otherwise (except the mass driver), but the hitpoints available drop accordingly.

... i've never tested it myself, but i read it several times:
shields with more than 2GJ capacity are unloading their themselves under certain circumstances (e.g. if the ship has been attacked & the shield value lies under 2.1GJ)
// liegt bzw. soll (soweit ich weis) am integer limit liegen oder so .. kein plan ^^

No matter how large the shield
It's easy to die under OOS.
No need to change the shield
If the fear of death
The best way is
Don't fight personally
