Bactrian City-Ship license cheat

[bike2australia]

First, press escape on your keyboard a few times to find the screen with Preferences, Quit, Load/Save and Enter Ship. Press Load/Save and Add Snapshot. Choose some save game file NAME that is unique, the only file with that name. Now, you can search on the hard drive for that file, and you will find a file with your Endless Sky character's name and that unique file name in \Endless Sky\Saves.

Now, open that file and search for license. Add a line just like the other license lines:
"license: Pilot's"
"license: City-Ship"

Save that and close it.

Go back to the Endless Sky screen with the screen with Preferences, Quit, Load/Save and Enter Ship, choose Load/Save and choose that unique name snapshot. Yes, you are willing to overwrite.. Even if everything goes wrong, you can still go to Load/Save and load Previous, the last planet you were on before this one,

Now, you have the license to fly the biggest ship.

i mean the bactrian isnt technically the BIGGEST ship, biggest ship has to be the korath world ships, THOSE things are huge.

But there is no way to get the violent ones on your side unless you mod in an outfitter in the worlds they hide around... though you need a crew of 1k or more to capture it.

though best ship for player to capture is the Korath AI ships, the ones that are capital ships.

You can get anything you want by writing it into your save file. I'm guilty, but as soon as I do that I'm cheating and the game no longer has any 'play' value to me.
It is a good way to experiment and learn things but it's not a good way to play a real game.

For example, add this: (N.B. haven't done it - made up on the spot - so untested! But I may try it just for fun...)

You don't need a license for captured ships so capturing a bactrian ship is an option. There are pirate planets where pirate bactrian spawns, you only need a star queen with nerve gas as hand to hand weapons.

are we talking republic systems, or as far north as hai/wanderer space?

[HuskyDynamics]

Pretty much as far north as you can go while still being in Human space.

[space0pilot]

You won't need a jump drive ... and you won't meet any aliens ... just lots and lots and lots of pirates ;-)

so basically the arneb/alnilam/almaaz systems?

[space0pilot]

And empty systems close by ... e.g. the system where the three you mentioned meet

[Death Bunny]

hmmm... they're really taking their time to show... *bright idea!* *hangs a spaceOpilot in a spacesuit out of the airlock* come and get it... free space pirate bait... would prefer bactrian bait but oh well... lol O:)

[space0pilot]

If you don't mind killing good guys, you'll also find them spawning in the deep, in hai space, and in the south - spawn rates may be low!

Or get yourself hated by pirates ... once you get a decent bounty on you they'll chase you!
