I can't help but would love to know how to do this too. It will likely be beyond me and I have no coding experience other than editing xml files. I have been able to give spike an 'experimental overdrive mk5' engine though and increase it's shields and crew capacity. To do that I extracted the files into loose form using the official x-tool. This way I could follow file layout and tweak what I need. Inside there is also a Lclass transporter called the Bluewhale and I am trying to see if I can activate that. A video guide on how to do this would be great but I have not been able to find one. I will keep poking around just to see if I can understand it all a bit more.
I sort of figured it out now and made an Osprey with 20 shield slots and 20 m turrets and a single terran main battery. It was not overly tricky but very time consuming with trial and error connection points. Osprey has a lot of flat surfaces for 'toys'.
I am having issues with the free ship not spawning at the start of a new game. I have got a fresh install and I have the files in the correct place. When the game starts I see the popup saying that the mod is installed. I have tried all of the Argon, Paranid & split starts with no luck.
I remember to recheck the download files. I'm playing with VRO so make sure to download the compatibility file below the main file. It worked for me. Last case start a fresh save file to load everything
This is a great mod, and you can upgrade Hydra Regal (either without racial restrictions or 2 versions), the Boron sniper rifle is really missing, and in general the Hydra is a beauty
Or better yet, White Star (Babylon 5) L and Blue Star M (It's a pity there is no model...)
Love the ships, the fury in particular! Added a screenshot to the gallery for the devastator and cataclysm turrets.
Is there a way to remove the free ship? the ships are OP enough for me even with the 25mil cost for additional, I'd love to have the option to have to pay for the initial ship too, without the need to manually remove the 25mil from my account. If I somehow missed the option please be kind, as I am new to X4 :)
Not the cleanest solution but sometime simple is best.
BTW: If you find the time maybe approve my user-pictures for the turrets or add your own description for them. The first time you spawn a ship I found it confusing which ones to pick.
There is also another L-sized ship namely Bluewhale which is not purchaseable. What is about that? Why is it in the mod files? How to add this ship to the portfolio

Or just try both and see.

And also a separate version without super-weapons.
