How adding cargo pods on a battleship?

Try as ge_transport for example, but you may use any hp type

hp_type = hp_cargo_pod, HpCargo01, HpCargo02 - original in vanilla

and you may do

hp_type = hp_freighter_shield_special_N, HpCargo01

where N - number from 1 to 10

btw try

hp_type = hp_mine_dropper, HpCargo01 or hp_type = hp_countermeasure_dropper, HpCargo01

Must be fun This will allow to drop cargo from pod :)))

Another normal way to make [CargoPod] as good for markets

hp_type = hp_cargo_pod Will work too, as long as you have cargo pods as goods.

Station??

try for loadout of this station

equip = attached_shipyard, HpRunningLight11

What battleship you want to use, btw?

The above should work so long as the Hard Points exist on your model

To get a faction to carry goods either by trade or transport you have to allocate chosen commodities in the

\Equipment\Commodities_per_faction.ini

By default Liberty Navy doesnt carry anything,

add commodities after

[FactionGood]
faction = li_n_grp
MarketGood = commodity_boron, 0, 0
MarketGood = commodity_cobalt, 0, 0

as an example

hope this helps

@ Halloween : It’s for the liberty dreadnought. And i’m gone to the stations loadout and I don’t find the liberty dreadnought.

@ Thaddeus : I don’t think it’s that, but i’m going to try it ; ).

You must check ships/loadouts.ini and make special loadout for your Liberty Dreadnought

Maby just wait until the cargo extension plugin will be developed. Meanwhile just do like me: Don’t make goods, just mount it in the ship pack without any possibility to unmount it without admin control.

tell us, what exactly you did. i succeeded with cargo pods as optical additions to satellites (which would work for stations as well) and spaceships.

okay… from scratch

any equipment file:[CargoPod] nickname = <custom name="">DA_archetype = <your direction="">\liberty_dreadnought_realisme_extention.cmp material_library = <your direction="">\liberty_dreadnought_realisme_extention.mat LODranges = 0, <farplane>HP_child = <a hardpoint="" of="" the="" extension="" model="">hit_pts = <irrelevant 1="" as="" it="" has="" no="" .sur="" file="" -="" make="" or="" so="">mass = 2000 explosion_arch = <any explosion="" defined="" in="" weapon_equip.ini="" or="" explosions.ini="">debris_type =</any></irrelevant></a></farplane></your></your></custom> <a hardpoint=“” of=“” the=“” extension=“” model=“”>the only thing now is in the loadout to add```
equip = <value of=“” “nickname”-parameter=“”>,</value>

i read about adding hardpoint definitions to the shiparch… unless you want to fly a dreadnought you’d like to be able to extend this is unnecessary. that is the way i do it, short, not too much bytes, and works well.

with sushi’s tutorial you could make your extension part of the very model. in that case, no further coding would be needed.

here it is.
anyway, try it with the cargo pod, it should be working just fine and the player wouldn’t see any difference.
