Building friendly/enemy ships

posted on August 21st, 2013, 8:52 pm

Is it somehow possible to make enemy or allied ships and stations buildable by obtaining the other faction's constructor ship?
It just popped into my mind that it would be cool if you could hijack an enemy constructor then attack the Romulans with D'deridexes

you can build mix tech yard, and get benefit from enemy...

constructing all enemy tech tree was removed. But i think it is posible to restore that.

i hope for this... //www.fleetops.net/forums/features/constructor-12296

Yes, you'll have to modify odfs, there are two changes:

buildableByOwnerRaceOnly should be set to 0 to allow other races to start building. this line is in every buildable unit's odf.

in constructor odfs, buildItemXAvailability should be set to 0 (for those units you want to be built by other races, mixed tech yards are here as well, you might want to leave them alone) so that the build buttons actually show up. i think if you just delete the line the game assumes it's 0 anyway.

see this page for all the numbers available for builditemXAvailability:

as far as i know, making those changes will allow you to build stuff from other races (tech tree should still apply).
