Construction Ships and Warp?

[lostmyunimatrix]

Is it possible to get a construction ship to travel at warp short of disabling its engines and towing it around at warp speed with an Iwo Jima Class ship?

of course, add this to the odf of the con ship

 combatSpeed = 20
impulseSpeed = 50
warpSpeed = 100

that should do it

I'm using the first one, but the second is new, I may check it out too:

those ships use the same code.

Thanks - wasn't expecting a reply this quickly.

That is in the sconstphys.odf in the odf/other folder. I set it to
combatSpeed = 25
impulseSpeed = 50
warpSpeed = 200
and all construction ships, freighters and cargo ship at least move some to speed up the game now.

well its diff for everyone, i hate the construction ships being able to warp, i like to send escorts with them, and make it more fun, But now that you know how, you wil be able to change it to whatever you want, and or what ever fits you better.

Ah. I wondered why it didn't work once I added that to fconst.odf.

I experimented with speed and found 200 good for me. Certainly it's less than half full warp for most combat ships so it doesn't seem too fast. We've seen warp capable cargo vessels in ST so I say why not?

I popped 200 in as well, the construction ship's got warp now, so I'm pleased. Thanks to everyone who answered my plea for help!

I think I forgot to give the cargo ships warp... oh wait, I did forget, well, now I've given myself something to do
