Is there a way to make own ships appear as hostile?

[spoongoon (OP)]

I have a bunch of hopelessly obsolete fighters and i want to use them for life fire exercises.
It´s probably impossible to save the crews though that would be nice (they only have a crew of 2).
So, can it be done? Do i have to create a faction and gift fighters or something? I have no idea how to do this.

You'll have to either create a new faction or give them to an NPR you're at war with. Can't remember exactly what button does that, though.

jacenhahn recently participated in a fiction thing I did where I had to learn how to do this.


1: turn on spacemaster mode
2: select a colony you control on the planet screen (the icon with the sun on it)
3: locate "create NPR" on I think it's the third tab, you will be asked to fill in some information. You want it to be a race controlled by a player.
4: you have now created a new player.
5: go to the screen for an individual ship (the one with the green warbird icon on it)
6: select the ship you want to give. The option to give ships to another race should be on the far right.
