How do I?

[evader]

Make fighter warp capable?

Accoring to the vechile size file ot can be done

[Captain Kwok]

I'm sorry, but currently you can't make fighters warp capable without losing their special abilities...

[Puke]

how do i make ships non-warp-capable without making them stack like fighters?

i dont think i can, but if anyone has ideas...

[Phoenix-D]

You can't.

There are a few pre-defined types, and outside those you can't go.

Ships- can warp, can move, can't stack
Bases- can't warp, can't move, can't stack
Fighters- can't warp, can move, can stack
Sats- can't warp, can't move, can stack

Also, if it can't stack it can't be carried as cargo, and vice versa. Cargo units can not carry cargo themselves- no minelayer sats.

Here's a wish for SE5, eliminate the difference between "ships" and "units" and make those characteristics definied as abilities such as:
Can jump warp points := True
Can be stored as cargo := False
ect.

[Spoo]

I agree. Dockable ships would be great.

Bases can move, not sure whether they can warp or not.

I do not know why you would mod movable bases. Why not just create ships instead ???

[geoschmo]

While revising the Devnull mod we gave bases a "Station Keeping Engine" That gave the base movement in combat only.

We considered giving them standard movment as well, it is possible after all. But we figured like you said, "What's the point? They they would just be big slow ships, and not bases at all", so we didn't do it.

The station keeping engine is a good idea, let you manuever around the planet a bit.
