📋 About This Mod
About this mod:
SFSE plugin that allows you to export and import spaceships (both layout and interior decoration).
The mod is Console based, there is no UI.
There are 3 commands: ExportShip, ImportShipLayout and ImportShipInterior.
Export a Spaceship:
Preparations:
1. Make sure you're inside the ship you'd like to export.
Process:
1. Open the Console and type: ExportShip "Ship name"
1. 1: replace "Ship name" with an actual name; use double quotes for multi-word names. This will be the exported ship's Blueprint file name.
Import a Spaceship - layout, modules, stats:
Preparations:
1. The layout importer currently supports importing to the homeship, so make sure you have a homeship that you're comfortable with overwriting.
1. 1: the layout importer technically doesn't create a new ship; by default, it can import a ship to the current homeship.
1. 2: for advanced use, optionally, the target ship can be specified (see command below).
2. Make sure you're not inside the target ship.
3. The target ship's base form must be runtime created.
3. 1: to achieve this, just simply modify the target ship in the Spaceship Editor Menu (any modification will do).
4. The plugin doesn't check whether you have the required Piloting Skill rank to be able to actually fly the ship that you import.
4. 1: see optional feature No Piloting Skill Requirement if you'd like to disable the vanilla hardcoded restriction.
5. Layouts of non modifiable ships (e.g. Starborn ship) cannot be imported (as they can be easily placed in the Console).
5. 1: they can be exported though because interior decoration items can be imported from them.
Process:
1. Open the Console and type: ImportShipLayout "Ship name"
1. 1: if you don't want to use the Homeship as target ship, type the RefID of the target ship after "Ship name".
1. 2: recommended to use the Homeship as target ship; specifying target ship is for advanced use (e.g. testing several ships for mods).
1. 3: the target ship must be player owned (available in the Spaceship Editor Menu as owned).
2. Visit a Ship Services Technician and edit the imported ship. Any modification will do.
Post-process:
1. Recommended to enter and fly the ship "manually" first (i.e. not with Fast Travel) in case you don't have the r
