How do I make first cap ship full price?

I'd like capital ships to come into play later in the game when empires can afford them.  I did not see an entry in the gameplay file, although I could very well have missed that.  Thanks in advance for the assist!

I believe it's actually defined in each map file. Look for a line "isFirstCapitalShipIsFlagship TRUE" (or something similar). Set it to FALSE, and you should be good to go on that map :P

Thanks, Annatar11 - you are correct!

Which you happen to know off-hand how I can change the intro music that my mod uses?

Do you mean the main menu music?

You should be able to change it by opening SoundMusic.sounddata file (also with Notepad):

music
name "MUSIC_FRONTEND"
fileName "Opening Theme.ogg"
isLooping FALSE
actionLevel 0.5
actionRange 0.5
emotionLevel 0.0
emotionRange 1.0

Is the main menu music, which you should be able to point to your own .ogg in the appropriate folder (wherever all the other ones are, I don't remember if everything is in Sounds or if there's a Music folder)

I just replaced the annoying music file with my own. My biggest trouble was trying to figure out how I could create ogg files. I found a program here: http://www.audio-converter.com/ which worked well and give 10 free converts to ogg.

Thanks again!
