She gives you the Debug Ship?

Well, that was the first thing I tried before making this thread. I changed everything underneath where it says "Debug Ship - gets replaced if missions active". There's no other place in the whole file to do it that I can see.

If it were that easy, then I wouldn't be here.

I did that earlier, but here:

Here's what didn't work:

In m01a.ini, I changed ge_fighter to ge_fighter06:

[Trigger]
nickname = mrp_accept
system = Li01
Cnd_MsnResponse = accept
Act_SetShipAndLoadout = ge_fighter06, msn_playerloadout

In loadouts.ini, I changed everything under this:

[Loadout]
nickname = msn_playerloadout
archetype = ge_fighter

...beginning with changing ge_fighter to ge_fighter06.

As instructed by someone else earlier, I changed nickname = msn_playerloadout_faux as well.


This doesn't change the ship in the Equipment Room when Juni is offering the first job, and this doesn't change the ship you see when you meet King out in space - but I do see the Starflier outfitted with 3 of my weapons and some of my equipment - both in the Equipment Room and when meeting King.

As soon as the fight begins, I have everything that I want, except only 2 of the 6 guns are turned on; I still have to turn on the other 4 at this point.


Before coming here, this is what I was doing (and this is what I'll still be doing whenever I want to do this):

Before clicking New Game, I edit the "money" line in Restart.fl to be the amount of money that I had before I decided to start a new game (which is usually in the 100s of millions, just to give you an idea of how long I play after the story mode ends).

I wait until Juni offers the job, and I click Accept. As soon as I do that, I exit the game and I edit that game save so that I have everything that I worked so hard to get - my ship, weapons, equipment, cargo, etc. Everything.

Then I load the game, launch to space to meet King, laugh at my temporary Starflier, and wait for the fight to begin.

When the fight begins, all 6 of my guns are armed and ready to go. All I have to do is start playing.

So, I'm really just trying to increase the realism that I still have everything I worked hard to obtain and Juni is just unwittingly offering it to me as though I'm really fresh off the boat and don't have a ship.

Sure, once the first battle begins after the Donau is destroyed, it's no big deal. Still, it would be very fun to click New Game and not have to do anything else after that.
