Change the # on the campaign files and rename them.Then put a ship in the mettaassets/serversettings/singleplayer/character.gf for all 3 difficulties.(this is the short version for the people who's dayjob is modding the game.Go to the SFC3.com forum for the long version).The ship yard dosn't work.Can somebody fill me in on how to fix this?

What the hell? I've been trying that for weeks, and now suddenly, it WORKS? It's always crashed to desktop on me, perhaps it's because I've made sure that every race has one of pretty much every type of ship.

Shipyard doesn't work because you need modified scripts, they aren't designed to work with anything above the default 4 races.

I'll have to test this online, it would really open up SFC3 if we could play 9 races online.

I have only tried it on the Cardassians.I am going to try the other races to see if it works.I will tell you what happens.What actually happens when it frezzes up?If the screen turns black but you can move the mouse,just click a couple times just like entering a playable race campaign.

The Cardassians,Ferengi and the Pirates work(don't have enough in the spec files for 8472 and Rakelli).But there is something interesting about the pirates.NO ALLIES.Bases,planets even the pirate AI's attack each other.Can't resupply or re-fit(even if it was possible).Can't fix your damaged ship.It is probably because besides having 1 big area for the pirates, I scattered little clusters all over the map like OP.It really sucks how you can't refit or buy new ships.Only thing you could do is change the name of the ship in the character file. But you would have to start all over.Can anybody tell me if there is a way to edit the files s you could refit the ship.I think it is 90% impossible.But there could be a chance.

To fix the Pirate, you must put the Neutral and Pirate Allies, if you do so they will not fight against each other and sure you will be able to refit and repair. For some reason the pirate and neutral are consider the same race. Im trying that as well but only 4 races playable the rest will be AI's only. In the defaultloadout.txt you nust have a least Bases all 3 kinds, Listen Post, Asteroid base, shipyard and planets as well + freigther and Shuttle, you only need 1 attackers ship no need to put FF through DN to make the race appear on game.(I try it that way Pelican and still work)

You can change the Political Tension of races and Pirate in the Metamap.gf file.

what about the re-fit?

Pelican, you mean mission scripts right? I think he's talking about the shipyard screen where you buy new ships with your prestige.

Yes, I do, and you DO need to go from FF to a Heavy Battlecruiser, it asks for them in the various base/planet assault missions.

I see what you mean about the shipyard, I will see what I can do about it, same with Refit & officers.

It definitely doesn't work online, you just CTD.

It does work with all the races, I have it set up for everyone at the moment, so I can clear that up. And I know full well about the problem with the Pirates & the Rakellians.

I believe that my problem previously was that I didn't type names in EVERY slot in the character file, at least I can't remember doing that.

Did anybody ever figure out why the Shipyard dosen't work?I know the re-fit thing will probably be impossable.But all you got to do is make a couple versions of each ship and buy them at the shipyard.But IT DOSN'T WORK.Please help if you can.
