Changing Auto-Upgrade per Ship

Post by seanhinkley »

Hi I am looking to turn Auto Upgrade off for certain ships, while leaving it on for others, I have used UE to Turn auto-upgrade off, can I hex edit some of the ships to Auto-Upgrade?

What I am trying to do is have 3 types of cruisers Constitution, Excelsior, Ambassador - I want the newer ships to replace the older ships in the build list but not auto-upgrade the existing cruisers. But want the Galaxy to Auto-Upgrade to Galaxy II

I tried this method but it lists the outdated ships in the build window, instead of replacing them

I looked around the forum could not find another thread on this topic. Found a few others i found useful for other Ship changes

I know its probably really simple to :oops:

change this back to on, set to "off" will prevent single ship changes iirc

Use UE you can select what ships will upgrade in edit/ship/ship stats for each ship. Just set to "none" for the ships you want not to upgrade.

First don't mess with the Auto-Upgrade; if you want to prevent some ships to upgrade from others do as TC said, from ship stats.
Unfortunately the old ships don't go away from the ship list unless there is an upgrade for them; but the ship build list is in alphabetical order. So i name the latest cruisers something like "Adv. Heavy Cruiser" so they stay on the top; although the old ones are in the list they are at the bottom.
