Getting Started

Download​

Download the zip file containing the blueprint files for the modules here.

Loading the Modules​

Loading the modules is the same as loading any other ship blue prints

  1. Navigate to %AppData%\Starbase\ssc\autosave\shipblueprints. If autosave folder does not exist spend some time (default is 5 minutes, this can be reduced in the settings) in the Ship Designer to force an autosave.
  2. Now here you will find files called ship_###.fbe The highest number will later be shown on top of the autosaves folder in the Ship Designer.
  3. Copy the first .fbe module file into the folder and rename it with a higher number. For example if the highest numbered file is ship_123.fbe, rename it ship_124.fbe.
  4. Go into the Ship Designer, select File -> Open or manage blueprints. From the dialog, there should be an Autosave group. The one you copied in manually will now be shown with a blank name.
  5. Once the modules have loaded, select File -> Save and save a copy of the file for later use.
  6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 for each of the module files.

Saving as Individual Modules​

Each of the files contain multiple modules. Once the module files have been saved, you can save the module individually for convenient usage.

  1. Select a module by clicking on the module indicator (green circle).
