Custom ship editor: build ships up to size 128x128 (v0.3.4)

[Three_Pryme]

hello Three_Prime


download  the program, make your ship, and then press the export button at the bottom of the program. Copy the export data in notepad and send it to me. I'll convert it to a vessel file that you can insert into your ships folder for you to use.

Don't forget to give it a name, a designer (you) and a description.

Thanks! I'll get to it shortly   :D

I have already PMed Three_Pryme, but just to clarify for future readers: the ship editor now saves ships to the Particle Fleet's ship directory by default. That means when you click the "Save As" button and save your ship, you don't need to do anything else and you ship will be visible in Particle Fleet.

However use caution, since you can easily override an existing ship with no (or rather, limited) way to undo that.

*Sigh*, you know the drill. I have another bug report.
The import from clipboard button doesn't work on Linux.
throws 'Cannot read CITG: java.lang.NullPointerExceptio' as an error.
screenshots of the ship and the editor attached.
I don't care about the CITG, it's just not importing the ship.

Same here, I dont see the save as option anywhere in the program.
Huge fan BTW, been tracking its progress for a little bit

How do i save mine? i don't have that button ....

If you start up the Editor you should find the Save As button on the Left Side of the Build Screen.
After Clicking that Button the new Ship is Accessible in the Editor under Add Ship and in the Ship List.

I didn't see it there (I glazed over it or something)... thanks for the help.

Can happen sometime.
Good Luck :)

Yea, the long build times are a problem. GoodMorning has a shipyard script that speeds up ship building, but it's a bit complicated to use at first (he may improved it since). I have made my own script that speeds up ship building, but that one pull the energy out of thin air, which could be viewed as "cheating".

I'll probably make a new thread with summary of all current options to quicky build large ships.

I'm fine with cheating because right now im just testing, and maybe later i will want to build ships instantly so you have them at the start of a misson
but anyway thanks for info
