Player owned shipyards? i need an answer!

[comradesniper]

after trawling through several websites, i have not found a single working mod/script that lets you build a shipyard that you own. the only thing that came close was the station builder on babyfaces site, but the shipyards just dont build, no matter how much money i have.

so, i need an answer. is there any mod or script anywhere that can allow you to build a player owned shipyard?

I don't think I 've seen a proper working example of this yet in this forum.

no

you can use any station-making script to give yourself any shipyard you like, and equip it with any ships you like, but you can't buy them yourself and the NPCs don't buy any ships so it'll never make money nor give you any free ships

What I did to work around this is build a shipyard owned by one of the races, added one of every ship to the wares.

In my game I'm happy to pay full whack and just didn't want the inconvenience of having to fly ships in from out of my home sector. But if cash is an issue you could script the station's selling price to 1 cr or something.

You'll also need to script in a fully stocked Equipment Dock in the same sector (if there isn't one already) if you want to be able to upgrade your ships when you buy them.

another really handy thing to do is to give the equipment dock some "regular" wares, like ore and silicon and energy cells especially - this gives you a chance to un/load your big ships without the need for ferryboats/transporters
