Making a ship for sale at a base or planet.

[Gizmo]

simply open a decompressed version of market_ships.ini and find the base you want there is a list of ships lets figure out what they are and if we can buy them

[BaseGood]
base = Li01_01_base
marketgood = gf1_package, 0, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = gf2_package, 4, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
marketgood = gf4_package, 13, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = gf5_package, 24, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = gf6_package, 30, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1

marketgood = bwe2_package, 30, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = bwfr_package, 10, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = cof_package, 8, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = coe_package, 28, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = coe2_package, 32, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = lf_package, 1, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
marketgood = le_package, 2, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = lfr_package, 1, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1
marketgood = bf_package, 6, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = be_package, 8, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = bfr_package, 4, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = kf_package, 10, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = ke_package, 13, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = kfr_package, 10, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = rf_package, 20, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = re_package, 22, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = rfr_package, 20, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = pf_package, 2, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = pe_package, 13, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = pfr_package, 4, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = bhf_package, 4, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = bhe_package, 13, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = bhe2_package, 26, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1
marketgood = oe_package, 16, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1

What system is this?
Liberty 1
Which is?
The New York System
What base is this?
li01_01_base
Which is?
Planet Manhattan

look at le_package -

marketgood = le_package, 2, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1

The first number (2) is the required level you need to be on before you can buy it.
The second number (-1) is nothing; it just needs to be there
The next three numbers (0, 0, 1) are the numbers that affect whether or not you can buy the ship at the base
The last 2 numbers (1, 1) are like the second; they need to be there no matter what

If you dont know what the ships are then here is how to learn -
The first letter(s) represents the group it belongs to
l=liberty
b=bretonia
r=rheinland
k=kusari
bw=border worlds
g=civilian
p=pirate
co=corsair
bh=bounty hunter
o=order
the rest represents the class
f=fighter
fr=freighter
e=elite (military ship)
hf=heavy fighter

so le_package would be liberty elite (Defender)

anyway, back to the tut! the le_package would not be purchasable at manhattan because of the numbers in brackets

marketgood = le_package, 2, -1, [0, 0, 1], 1, 1

by changing these to read-

1, 1, 0

It will be purchasable on manhattan. so your final result would be-

marketgood = le_package, 2, -1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1

Remember a ship dealer can only sell 3 ships no more. If you have four, then the game will crash when you go there or when you pull up the buying menu.

where can market_ships.ini be found

[Gibbon]

In your EQUIPMENT folder. Before asking questions like this, i'd suggest opening up some of the folders to see what's inside, saves my fingers and wear and tear on my keyboard

[noobinator]

dude how do u open an uncompressed version of the file

[Gibbon]

The easiest way is to apply the SDK 1.3 available on Lancers
Reactor... which is down at the moment. This will decrypt all the ini files in FL
