Ship Designs and Database

Let's face it, the main attraction of BSF is building your own ships. Share them! If you need help, check the Shipmaker Info & Help forum a little ways down.

Ship Designs and Database

Post by AvengerMKII »

I started playing and creating my own ship and I'm wondering if there's a list of files with all the default ships like the Zeleus and the Hestia. I want it so I can just play around with it for the fun. I tried going on the data base but it doesn't exist. Is there anyway I can download the default ship files without making them? It's hard to make some of it since the editor is bit hard to use.

Sadly, no, the .sb4s or .shp files for the default ships aren't available anywhere. You can still spawn them in the sandbox though.
IIRC someone made SWised versions of all the default ships quite some time ago, which could serve as decent approximations. No idea where they are now, you'll probably have to look in the archives.

I think he mean't actually re-spriting the sections to look shiny, not make the stock ships out of shiny.

Well then wouldn't that just be shipwright sections? And aren't those in the shipmaker repack?

Ah I see he said "sections."
Yea I read that too fast.

Shiny alternatives would be interesting, but they are such basic shapes I can't see much of a practical use.
