to get rid of the "????" in the menu list, open the script of the ship in scripts/Custom/Ships...
(make a backup first of course lol)
look for:
Code:

# Uncomment these if you have TGL 
Foundation.ShipDef.whatever.hasTGLName = 1
Foundation.ShipDef.whatever.hasTGLDesc = 1

and put a # before both lines where it says "Foundation"

that should do it...

Thanks, Jimmy! :bows: That took care of the menu problem and the in-game icons. I knew it had to be something simple.

go to scripts/custom/ships, and look for the PY of the ship that you wish to change the name... then open it (with notepad) also make a backup of it in case something should go wrong...

look for:
Code:

longName = "whatever"
"whatever" is the name of how it appears in your QB menu list...
save it, then delete the PYC and you're all set...

actually, no. sorry jimmy.

you'll need to open the file (whatever it's name is) in scripts/ships/ and change the line "Name: whatever" to "Name: whatever you want"
also, go with what jimmy said and change the plugin too.

changing the pointer file (in scripts/ships) will change the name of the ship IN THE GAME.
change the plugin will change the name IN THE MENUES.
keep that in mind and good luck.

Now, I'll make a Sovereign class ship named USS Hypernova NCC-76850(personal Sovereign Mod)
