[MOD] Build Terran (AKA Republic of Cantera) Ships

spartanheyho · Post by **spartanheyho** » Mon, 9. Dec 13, 20:29

Adds Terran ships to Shiptraders at Shipyards for building. If you want to know what the ships specifications are, click on the highlighted ship name within the post. This will take you to a corresponding page showing the ship in detail as well as production costs / time.

-- Check Nexus website link for more details!! --

The added choices are:

Succellus Destroyer
Lepton
Hermod
Titurel
Gangrene Chaser

NOTES: These ships were "technically" already present within the ship building files but, due to the way Egosoft set up their file structure, were also not present in others. This mod simply "adds" these ships to those files via an extension thereby making them visible for you to build.

IMPORTANT: All ships come as is!! I did not modify them in any way. If they exhibit any strange behavior (not firing main weapons, not trading, not using drones, no pilot, no crew, disappearing crew, spontaneous combustion or vanishing into thin air, etc.) it is not due to this mod! It is either due to vanilla bugs/behavior or another mod or corrupted files.

Update Instructions
Extract the files, move them over into your Extensions folder and replace everything. You can also delete the old extension and place the new one in its place.

Addon Update Instructions:
Extract the files and place them inside of the extension folder. Select yes to replace all.

Credits
-Egosoft for creating X Rebirth. All I did was simply add what was technically already "there" but unfortunately missing.
-Roguey for his fantastic X Rebirth Website.

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if your savegames break, your computer blows up or the world comes to an end as a result of you downloading and using this mod!

Changelog
1.1 - Fixed typo for Omicron XL shipyard resulting in ship build list not being updated.
1.11 - Added more info to Readme's in files. New main file type added "LoreFriendlyBuildTerranShips" as well as corresponding addons for it and the original "BuildTerranShips" extension.

You are welcome. Let me know here if you have any trouble (excluding unusual game behavior already listed within OP that would have nothing to do with this mod).

Spartan thank you so much for this mod. Unitraders addition of the hybrid Rahanas and this go a long way towards making the game more enjoyable with more options.

Might as well ask for the Gangrene Chaser as well.

spartanheyho · Post by **spartanheyho** » Wed, 11. Dec 13, 05:42

Looking into it. Ill see what I find.

don't mean to sound needy, but here goes anyway. anyway to let us build a bunch of fighters?

Isnt the Hermod the same as the Feldham?

Vim Razz · Post by **Vim Razz** » Wed, 11. Dec 13, 07:12

The Hermod has a rounded body, unlike Feldham which is more boxy. It's the same type of ship that appears early in the Devries part of the plot, when they're "rescuing their crew from the reivers".

And great mod!

That is a whole different animal (I will look into it once I complete my current goals). Adding the ships listed in the mod was easy as there were already references to them in half of the ship build lists. Right now, I am working on making the Devries shipyard unique so it can build only Terran ships in both the XL shipyard and L shipyard. This will be a seperate/optional file. Also, I am working on adding the Titurel and Gangreen Chaser to ship build lists as well as optional addon files themselves for the various versions I want to create but those ships were not originally on any ship build lists so we will see.

Being able to build Titurels finaly allows me to let my mega-borked plot-save die in peace and allow me to start free-play without losing much.

nice :d can we also build their fighters?

swatti · Post by **swatti** » Fri, 13. Dec 13, 14:53

HUGE THX! Good job.

EDIT: wtf!? Did i do something wrong? Hermod visible in L-shipyard but no Titurel or Chaser in XL-yard at Devries...? Free-play, building another ship there atm.

EDIT 2: Looking at the files, Devries XL-yard was left out it seems... ?

EDIT 3: Umm... No Titurel or Chaser in Albion eighter... Did i do something wrong? >_<

spartanheyho · Post by **spartanheyho** » Fri, 13. Dec 13, 18:35

Question 1: What version did you download and install?
Question 2: What version did you have installed before?

To answer your question about the Devries XL shipyard, it isn't left out in the vanilla/BuildTerranShips version if that is what you are using. It simply calls on the same lists as the Albion shipyards. Egosoft set it up that way. the LoreFriendlyTerranShips version changes that but its not compatible with the BuildTerranShips version.

After my last post here i jumped into Nexus and took what was there... Maybe it hadnt updated yet? First ver i had installed.
