Why is this Z-CCX so puny?

Guh. The Taldren version of the Z-CCX has 57 power, 4 MIRVS, 6 phGs.. and i other more normal systems and weapons.. It was demonstrated to me that it could go around at speed 30, overload all 4 disruptors, and have 5 ECM. NUTS!

   57 Total Power
   4x Disruptor 4
   2x Missile Rack C
   6x Phaser G
   6x Phaser X
   2x ADD 12
   4x Drone M

The SFB version of the Z-CCX is much more reasonable for a ship which recieves a Xtech refit. Additionally, the other Mirak X1 ships added to the game also don't have gatlings and MIRVs... Uniformity was needed.

So, in this shiplist, I declared the MIRV racks X2-only weapons. This version of the Z-CCX is going to be it, and the other one will not be included.

   50 Total Power
   4x Disruptor 4
   4x Missile Rack B
   2x Missile Rack C
   4x ADD 12
   10x Phaser X

I already have some models that I like for different hull classes. Do I download the smaller pack and then plug the appropriate mod into the proper folder?

Yes. Make sure the folders and filenames match.

ie:

• figure out what folder and file is used in the shiplist.
  • B11K: opplus/models/ksbb/ksbb.mod

• replace the contents of folder opplus/models/ksbb/ with contents of wanted model package.
  • (replace contents, or entire folder, whatever.)

• make sure the filenames match too.
  • "ksbb.mod" and "ksbb_brk.mod"

• load up the game and test it out, in a skirmish or something.

As long as you leave the other files intact, you can replace whatever model y ou want and still be able to play with everybody else that have OP+.

Other important files in OP+:

   * shiplist.txt
   * ftrlist.txt
   * shipnames.txt
   * strings.txt
   * model.siz 

Have you included any fan made ships in OP+? Or anything not SFC or SFB approved?

Although there are a FEW exceptions, usually the answer is no, I haven't included any ships that aren't official material.

Here are the exceptions:

• To make sure X1 and X2 era have refitted bases:
  • There are no X2 (aka Advanced era) units in SFB. I had to "upgrade" the bases to X2 status based on what I saw for the existing X2 SBs that exist in stock OP. (I examined it.. and applied similar changes to other X1 bases.) This creates X2 BSs and BATS, as well as X2 SBs with fighters or PFs.

I only consider official SFB modules as published materials. Captains Logs material is from and for SFB, but isn't 100% official yet.
