Custom ship in the intro battle

[Pfhoenix]

What are the steps required to get a custom ship to appear in the intro battle? I have my custom ship 100% working, but somehow, in my tweaking the terran.ini race file, I've managed to make the terrans absent from the intro battle, instead of seeing my new ship flying around in it.

Fingers provides much detail on this in the Modmaker's Guide to the Galaxy:

Here's a snip of the relevant part:


2. Ship

This is the easy part. Go to the terran.ini and add a new SHIP entry. Give it a name that'll be shown in game:
SHIP Assault Ship

Set its hull to the name you gave to the hull file:
HULL ter_asst

Set the flags so the ship will appear in the simulator and intro screen:
FLAG simulator intro

Then give it some equipment... Default Terran railguns, fusion engine and thruster, and an electron shield:
SYST wp_projrail
SYST wp_projrail
SYST th_fusion
SYST dr_fusion
SYST sy_shieldelmx

Finally, close the SHIP entry:
END
