Yeah, just paste these lines at the top of the copied file and it should work.

basename = "fed_avalon"
originalclass = "fed_avalon"

So what does the ship do now with those lines?

posted on September 8th, 2012, 9:32 pm

builds, button is there and ship builds fine. Just need to figure the weapons i want out and then im all set. I can get them right for the base ship. But when i copy the ranked versions to the ranked ships they just go to a single torpedo launcher.

Yeah, I mentioned this before, but as the ships rank up, they sometimes gain new weapons, and they aren't always put with the rest of them. You will have to look towards the top of the file to see if any new weapons were added and adjust your edits accordingly.

Right got the weapons i want, ship builds, just trying to figure out the Veteran Rank situation, and im working out a lot better how to read and understand what the lines mean and how they impact the units.

Thanks

Are you making a complete copy of the avalon and all its ranks, or just the first odf? If you are trying to duplicate them with the veteran rank, there are a bunch of odfs called all_all_veteran at the top of the fpq, and they handle the methd by which you change a ship from rank 5 to 6

Yea, i've got all ranks up to five going fine, just need to work out the veteran, and then going to try and get the multi-layered shields i want.

Still cannot get it to rank up to veteran. This is the Veteran

Any Ideas???

Ive added the line in the allcapveteran odf file to correspond to the veteran odf

posted on September 10th, 2012, 11:55 pm

What line did you add to all_veteran8?

posted on September 11th, 2012, 9:48 pm

Got it all working now!! Brilliant Really happy

posted on September 11th, 2012, 11:24 pm

All your help was brilliant.

And now i can actually identify and understand what to look for.

The community here is brilliant. Always someone willing to help.

What i would like is some ideas on what you would do to make the Avalon a more worthy battleship?

My version ATM has Quantum Torpedoes from the Sovereign Class, Keeping the Extended Engineering from the original Avalon?

What would give her if she was a ship in Mayson's arsenal?

Indeed, and if you ever need any more help or advice, you know where to come!

Hmm, its kinda hard to tell. For mayson, she would not have fighters, but needs some kind of team buff. Something that increases weapons, or maybe a remoore like weapon that makes ships get hit less often.

Maybe just a point defense phaser?
