How do I change the 'type' of a ship?

March 12, 2006 7:44 AM from

Hiya all,

I tried figuring this out for myself, but I'm not that good at modding, so here goes:

I designed a ship ingame which got a little bit out of hand

. Initially it was supposed to be a tiny scout. But when it was done I figured it would look better as a colony ship. It was built using Kryo's hull mod so it's not really using any type specific hull. Is there any way to edit some files to make it a cargo type hull so I can fit a colony module?

It would be nice, I've got some other ships that could be changed too...

I've tried doing just that myself, but it doesn't seem to work for me (at least editing the shipcfg and class files manually). When I did it, it seemed to simply corrupt the ship, causing the game to fail on startup until I deleted that design.
