Modding SW3?

[Nanaki]

Well, my result has been a huge success, ships now happily populate most sectors. Unfortunately, my addition of NESF incursions in seven sectors have not produced the desired results.

I am contemplating attempting to import the spawn and fleet scripts from the Star Wolves 2 mod 'Real SW2'

Slightly off topic. I was looking through the XML files today, and found a DynamicMissions.xml. Looks like it's supposed to be replayable random missions that never got implemented.

Edit: I think I have once gotten a random mission to hunt down some pirate, but the game never pointed out where the guy was that I was supposed to kill, and I finished the game without ever completing it.

Just do a search for mothership_arba in the shipdescriptions file...

That is just leftover code from the replayable random missions that were in Starwolves 2. Starwolves 2 had it, but for some bizzare reason they took it out from Starwolves 3. Donno why... perhaps it had some major bugs (i imagine it was probably telling people to go to off-limits sectors) and the developers figured it would be easier to remove completely than to fix.

Look in the same sector you got the mission, you should see a target marker which should indicate where your target is at.
