Starbases as Ships?

Hello,

Has anyone figured out how to use the prebuilt faction starbase models as ships? I would like to use them as planetary defense stations stacked on planets -- with Huge hull and lots of weapons, of course. I tried recreating them from scratch in the ship designer, but it proving to be EXTREMELY tedious.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Guyver_Z

I can't find the starbases in the game files, but it can be done. At least with a mod.

That's how starbases are made for custom races - You make the ship and save as a template, which makes a 3D model you can use.

I would assume the reverse can be done, where one would set a starbase model as a ship. If I get time I'll find the easiest way to do this, I've gotten enough practice with shipsets and mods

I came back to mention that. The seem to be in with the normal ships.

You might not even need to copy them to the usual mod folders - Mods seem to work as injection, and the game reads them where they would be in the game files themselves. Choosing the name of a starbase should in theory be picked up and be available as a ship.
