Basically, I 'm trying to start my game at the year -33 (2230) rather than year 0/1 (2263) (I'm not sure whether 2263 is year 1 or year 0) in OP.
Here's the trouble: I can go into the time.gif file and change the year that the campaign starts but ships that haven't been invented yet keep appearing in the vessel library. Sure, you can't buy a ship from year 4 (2267) until 2267 comes in the campaign, it's just kind of annoying and takes away from the FEEL of simplicity in those early years that I'm trying to go for.
So, my question is this: how does one alter the dates associated with the various tech "eras" so as to keep this from occuring? Is it even possible?
I know I don't really contribute much to this forum since I'm not a modder at all. I just enjoy the work that you ladies and gentlemen do here and use and appreciate it very much. BUT I would be more than willing to make the modified GIF file available to anyone who wants to "GO BACK IN TIME" to the days when the F-CA was a brand new ship class......
At any rate, the ability to do so might be cool, especially for users of OP+ since it now comes with all those nifty TOS models.
Thanks,
Micah
