Change Husnock Raider to Species 8472 Bioship
Query: How can I change the tooltips and display names for the Husnock Raider to an 8472 Bioship? It would say "Bioship" on the map, but tooltips still say "Raider" and battles are still against the Husnock Raider as opposed to the Bioship. Is there a more detailed description of what to do other than "Look in x"?

sounds like you have already used UE,
use UE edit/text/lexicon
and search for the text you want to change.

Re: Change Husnock Raider to Species 8472 Bioship
Will this work for changing the name when in combat with the Husnock/8472 vessel? Because I want it to say "Federation Defeated 8472 Bioship" after the battle rather than "Federation Defeated Husnock Raider". I don't see any reference to Husnock in the lexicon either other than their weapons.
On a different note, what is the maximum size a galaxy can be modded into? Never mind.

Did you change name in edit/ship/ship stats?

Re: Change Husnock Raider to Species 8472 Bioship
I've changed the name "Husnock Vessel" to "8472 Bioship" but the changes don't seem to apply to the battle and post battle screens, where it goes by the name of "Husnock Raider". I've read a previous post which points me to trek.exe, but I don't seem to be able to find ship slots in trek.exe using UE.

Re: Change Husnock Raider to Species 8472 Bioship

I'll have to try a new game, but through all the files, I've not been able to find anything labeled "Husnock Raider" like it would say in combat. I've seen posts about mods which talk about replacing the Husnock with 8472 but I haven't been able to test it out.
Also, have you ever had a point in the game where one of your shipyards get options to produce another faction's ships?
Or that your build lists start dropping options like the ability to build or upgrade a basic structure? <- Never mind, this one resolved itself somehow when I teched up.

The only other place is in trek.exe at 0x017d1a4 this change must be hex edited. and text is Husnock Raider
