Borg vessel question...

posted on August 16th, 2009, 1:20 pm

Ok, this is not strictly a modding enquiry, although it does pertain to altering vessel characteristics.

I am curious. Is it possible to alter the FO files in order to change the number of modules that a given Borg vessel can me fitted with? For example, I believe the default number of module "slots" for a Cube is 6?

Looking at the files, it seems that there is a configuration file for each possible variant of how a Cube might be user configured. Labelled with letters i.e B = Extra beam weapon, T = Graviton Torp launcher etc. So I'm thinking maybe there isn't. At the same time though, there must be a value somewhere that affects the maximum number of available slots for any given chassis type.

Can someone clarify this for me? I enjoy messing around with this kind of thing, but don't really know if I can get anywhere with it.

I think it's all odf's and replaceweapons.

Thanks guys.

Sounds like a lot of work for what would be, in fairness, little gain. Just wanted to mess about with it. Many thanks though. I really like how friendly this community is.
