Scenaries creating tools

[littleWolf (OP)]

Help please. I want to create a game scenario:

Player has colony ship(s) with 1 000 000 colonists aboard, freighters with 100 conventional factories and some infrastructure, one or two conventional geosurvay ships, one troop transport with conventional troops and few conventional frigates.  Start in Solar System, near one of JP, but Earth  is empty (not colonized).

How it possible ? GM tools cannot create any ships...

Use the Fast OB Creation window from the Spacemaster menu.

Steps.
A. Create your race.
B. Use SM mode to give the necessary tech.
C. Design ships.
D. Use Fast OOB to grant ships to race.

This is where it gets fuzzy. You may need to run a few turns to get the necessary supplies you want on the ships (facilities, minerals, people, etc). Then you should be able to delete the colony and use SM mode to move the ships to where you wish.

Thanks !

But how revert tech for this race back to conventional ? Or need create new nonTN race  and grant ships to him ?

[Erik L]

You can't really. You need TN tech to build ships.

You might be able to go the non-TN race route, but I'm not sure if they'd be able to do anything with the survey ships.

And conventional-<any ship type> is not going to happen

You can remove tech on the research tab of the Economics window. Selected the Completed Tech option from the radio buttons at the bottom and use the Remove button to delete the tech for that race.

Why ? Conventional engines and conventional missiles   Another modules (TN) - has only on colony fleet ships. New world, new colony, and new research for produce new ships and modules.   Old military ships rust without mantainance. Old cargo, geological explorer and colony ships (with conventional engines) can be used in Sol System (but need build refinery for fuel supply).
