Battleship Encounters
Author of this tutorial is unknown but if he/she wants to contact me i'll amend the tutorial. The Starport would like to thank Gibbon for allowing us to use this Tutorial after he posted it on Lancers Reactor.[br /] [br /] This little guide will teach you how to compose and apply six encounter templates to spice up your FL world. The main ingredient? Variety! Tired of battling wave after wave of fighters? Look no further, it's time to dust off those poor unemployed Sunslayer torpedoes! [br /] [br /] Note: all modifications made here are entirely server-side (meaning clients can connect and join the fray without having to download any files).[br /] [br /] Another note: ensure that "hide file extensions for known filetypes" (Windows Explorer ==>> Tools ==>> Folder Options ==>> View) is NOT marked.[br /] [br /] One more note: make backups! Save & close each file before opening the next![br /] [br /] "Ok, here's what's going on..." 1) browse to DATAMISSIONSENCOUNTERS and create the following files: [br /] [br /]

What follows below is a 99.999% repost of the post above, except that I removed all those awful [br /] tags, altered a word here and there, and applied some text makeup. Although I'm very grateful to Roo Avery and Gibbon that they saved this great tutorial from oblivion, I think it deserves a more readable layout. If a moderator or admin is displeased by my repost, they're free to delete it.

The ZONE sections are predefined areas wherein things happen.
They might be a radiation zone, an asteroid field, or an area where you want certain NPCs to appear (but not others). So, when you want battleships to show up you first need to create your encounters. That's where the formations come in and the changes to the factions that identify them as having capital ships in their fleet. npcships.ini defines the ships and their levels. Once you have that designated then you just need to define the encounter in the beginning of each system.ini file and then address it in the zone you wish it to appear in. Because I'm old school and too dumb to learn anything new I still use Freelancer Explorer to work with zones. Download that program and fool around a little to see what and where the zones are. Basically, any zone that already has an encounter in it can accept another one without any issues. As long as it's defined properly... Make backups before you go messin'.

Thank you, I'm wanting to make encounters in all the house systems but it's a bit taxing as I don't really know what to do

Well, moonhead made it easy for you.
Just follow his directions and copy/paste the requisite file changes into the indicated files. It will take some work on your part but, that's how I learned. I'm sure you can learn the same way as well.
