Mothership type

[Benji13]

Is there a mod that adds an option for 'mothership' when renaming a vessel? That would be pretty cool if you could.

Nobody has succeeded adding to or modifying those vessel categories, I'm afraid. It might just not be accessible for modding.

It's very modding-unfriendly.  Ship type is modeled as a C# enum type, which is hard-coded and can't be modified.  So the only way to get any additional ship types would be for Squad to either add them, or else to re-do the ship-type architecture to be based on something other than an enum, thus making it moddable.

Sorry. 

There have been various threads over in the "Suggestion" forum to add additional ship types... "airplane" is a frequently requested one, and there have been others.  You could always post a suggestion there.

As for myself, I just use the "station" type for "mothership" (or, if I'm playing a save where I've got actual stations, I may use the "base" type, since I rarely make actual bases).
