My question

[nocalora29]

Heres the properties of Corsair from SW1

function GetPropertyCost_Corsair(property)

	local properties =
	{
		Piloting_1 = 2,
		Piloting_2 = 25,
		Piloting_3 = 50,
		Tactics = 200,
		Gunnery_1 = 2,
		Gunnery_2 = 25,
		Gunnery_3 = 50,
		Fearless = 75,
		Lone_Wolf = 150,
		Criticals_1 = 100,
		Hard_to_Kill = 200,
		Elite = 250,
		Missiles_Rockets = 1,
		Missiles_2 = 5,
		Missiles_3 = 25,
		Missiles_4 = 50,
		Missiles_5 = 100,
		Rockets_1 = 20,
		Rockets_2 = 40,
		missile_salvo_1 = 25,
		missile_salvo_2 = 50,
		missile_salvo_3 = 100,
		missile_salvo_4 = 150,
		Black_Market = 5,
		weak_spot_1 = 50,
		weak_spot_2 = 100,

		Systems_2 = 35,
		Countermeasures = 50,
		Countermeasures_Exp = 100,
		Missile_Range = 75
	}

	return properties[property];
end;

and heres the CanHaveProperty function (if needed)

function CanAddProperty_Corsair(pilot, property)

	if (property == "Piloting_1")

Thank you, again.

Im think... maybe you give old character (Phantom, Corsair etc.) to your mod? e.g you setting this character to buy in Mystical Station hidden on map

[ArtekXDPL]

Can possible is to convert bigship eg. <BigShip name="Alien_Frigate_0"> to normal ship, and shoot with turrets?

[nocalora29]

Just make an copy of it in carcasses.xml and change BigShip to Interceptor. thats it, but since there are small adjustings that are needed for it to work properly, heres an working converted Alien Frigate:

	<Interceptor name="Alien_Frigate_0">
		<short_name>#M_Name_Alien_Frigate</short_name>
		<hint>#M_Hint_Alien_Frigate</hint>
		<short_desc/>
		<long_desc>#M_LDesc_Alien_Frigate</long_desc>
		<mesh_name>a_frigate</mesh_name>
		<flat_image>alien_frigate</flat_image>
		<hit_points>8000</hit_points>
		<mass>30000</mass>
		<disable_trade>false</disable_trade>
		<cost>10000</cost>
		<technology/>
		<EPR>10</EPR>
		<explosion_script>Big Ship</explosion_script>
		<work_sound/>

		<engine_start_sound/>

		<level>1</level>
	</Interceptor>

[ArtekXDPL]

Thanks you, its work. But this ship have error, you can't wear any turrets. How can repair this error? When is write that <Interceptor name= can use only BigGuns, Systems, Missile, and SmallGuns?

[nocalora29]

I think thats because all turrets in the game, meaning "TurretModule" have this parameter inside their xml: <attach_type>ONLY_BIGSHIP</attach_type>

You (should) change all turrets with "ONLY_BIGSHIP" to "ALL_SHIPS" then its gonna work, or you create special turrets with this config.

[ArtekXDPL]

Thanks you, You are the best
It works, Im can fly Alien_Frigate_0 and shoot with turrets.

How change maximum amount of pilots in group of mercenaries?

In file Recruits.xml
Im change lines to:
<count_min>24</count_min>
<count_max>24</count_max>

If Im change value to
<count_min>25</count_min>
<count_max>25</count_max>

Mercenary group to buy is hide - no display in screen. (Error?)

How change maximum value with 24 on higher with working mercenaries to buy.

[nocalora29]

I have no idea, I think its not possible.

[ArtekXDPL]

How create a new group of mercenaries to buy?, eg. Berserks Ships + 2x Chimera, Alien Ships + 2x Alien Frigate, Stalingrad + 2x Stone Arrow

Maybe you add this in your mod?

[nocalora29]

Editing mercenary teams is quite difficult, I did not have any kind of success when creating an custom one, since the game seems to pick ships inside an table COMPLETELY random, so you cannot set what "Chance" the specific ship you added has to spawn, so it may aswell be that it spawns 9 stalingrads and one 1 arrow, and thats not really good and or what we want.

I have made the approach to make an dialogue inside the maintance station with the help of Goblin wizards mothership mod, to create the menu "Corporate Contracts", it basically is Mercenaries Revamped, and it is alot easier since those dialogue buttons execute functions and code I can actually write and that.

So what I would recommend to you is to create an new Dialogue inside the maintance stations, where its possible to buy mercenaries you actually want.

Other than that theres no way of actually making new Actual/Legit Mercenaries inside the trade station Merc tab, since all the game is selecting random ships from an table.
