1 month ago @Dwarf-LordPangolin Hi, yes it is a recent addition to my code, I am changing my approach to spawn ships and stations. So everything that gets put in the \Starship EVO_Data\StreamingAssets\Factions folder will get a chance as being spawned, as opposed to have a hard-coded list of ship to spawn. The next step would be workshop-support and modding support.
For now I only have that NPC_TRADER tag, but I will add other, like NPC_TANKER for example. For faction, if your ship belongs to a faction please put that name! By the way if you could send me your AAM ships for integration if you would like to see them in game (I definitely would like to!), I know I have a few versions on my hdd but I am not sure if they are up to date. For now I think only the Kuroshio and the Mistral are spawning. If will feed Mission Descriptors when needed, it is for build that are created for a specific mission like the tutorial.
Cheers
I noticed in one of the comments here that the Trader ships are supposed to have the NPC_TRADER tag, and realized that most of the stuff I've submitted over the years hasn't had any information in that field because I don't know what's supposed to go there. I think it would be helpful to have a document listing what strings can go in the Tags, Mission Descriptors, and Factions fields, so that we can save you some time by filling in that information on our end.
