Hello Starfaring modders.

After playing mini-mash and helping out a little bit with making some descriptions for it, i found that i wanted to make some ships myself. Just starting out,i have some things i need to ask/ find out to get this all working in game, but i didnt want to withhold you all from my awesome kit bashed little fighters* couch*.

Finicker mk1 interceptor


this on merc. order made interceptor is a middle tech fast interceptor which features some slick aerodynamics. Its weaponry features:
(this is just some testing and seeing what is best guys, say what you see fit best:)
-  double assault gun(really focused on smaller craft, also unshielded frigates etc)
-  double light flak gun( from the new weapons pack, just experimental, really focused on fighters)
-  assault gun and and light autocannon (mixed weapons)

hull: 450
armor: 50
flux:750
no shield
3 per wing
price: around 8700( A bit higher than broadsword)

Thresher mk1 assault fighter


this expensive mid-tech assault fighters features the best tech the merc have to offer,
nicknamed headbutt for its ability to fly in with no regard for its own and come out alive.
- 2 light machine guns and a assault gun (good all around)
- 2 autocannon and a assault gun (more firepower)

hull: 750
armor: 100
shield with 50 degrees 0,6 damage/flux
flux: 1200
2 per wing
price: 11600 (like the warthog?)

kruell mk1 Bomber


this beast strikes, destroys, and eat destroyers for breakfast.
2 charger torpedoes give it good strike power and shields do the rest.
- 2 charger torpedoes, light dual autocannon(of new weapons pack)

hull: 450
armor: 75
shield with 90 degrees 0,4 flux/damage
3 per wing
price: 12000

suggestions are welcome. Also can someone tell em how to make parts transparant? i just cant get it to work so tips on that are welcome.
Thanks for your look on my humble possessions and i hope to see some reactions under here!

[maffo]

a little update. Found out how to get white parts transparant, so changed that. And worked out the .ship,.hull and .variant for the Finicker. Almost got that done, except i get a error for the pointer formation in the wing_data file. Can someone help me on that? Here is the error:

Thanks for the help

[Upgradecap]

You forgot to set the fighter formation, that's what I read from the log.

[maffo]

well i simply copypasted that part from the thunder, upping the wing count to 3 and leaving the rest, so it was set to v yet as it gave a error i tried changing it to CLAW, as the warthog formation was set to, to no effect

[Upgradecap]

Try to double check of you have set all commas correctly. One comma wrong, and it'll fail.

[maffo]

aye aye cap'tan

[maffo]

well that worked, thanks upgrade, but now the hull_spec is missing. thought i had it but seems im so so wrong. the error:

[maffo]

Ahhh, for fighters, you can't name them "finicker_assault", but instead, you have to name them "finicker_wing".

But in the first row in the fighter_data.csv  you name them from the .variant file you created.

[maffo]

i tried , yet it still eludes me to get it right in a fashionly and working matter( second one the most:)

the error is this:

i set the names of the,

.ship:

finicker

inside:

"hullId": "finicker",
  "hullName": "finicker",
  "hullSize": "FIGHTER",

.variant:

finicker_Fighter

and the wing_data.csv:

finicker_wing,finicker_Fighter,7,,V,3,FIGHTER,15,8600,,,,,,,,,,,,,5

and as last the ship_data.csv:

finicker ,finicker,fighter,7,450,75,750,,75,10,165,75,75,25,25,500,NONE,0,0,1,6,6,10,10,10,50,0,8600,12345

i hope you can get wise from this

[K-64]

You shouldn't be using the _Hull variants for fighters. Ever. That's for the completely gutted ships that you buy at stations as default.

[maffo]

so ill have to change it to what?
