Better way to add variants to faction fleets than replacing faction file?
« on: December 31, 2014, 11:23:04 AM »
I was wondering if there was a better way of adding ship variants to fleets of a given faction than simple replacing the entire faction file. While doing that works, it kind of breaks apart once you have two mods trying to change that faction file.

Is there something like "faction.addVariant(shipRole, variant, weight)" to be be used in a script that I'm missing?

Take a look here:

In brief, you don't need to replace the entire file - the mod's file should only have the stuff that's new/different.
