How?

How do you edit a ship? Ex: Edit weapon arcs, stats, etc. Please walk me through. Thanks!

Thanks, but it won't let me edit weapons arcs. Any program?

In order to change weapon arcs, go to your DefaultCore and on the ship line you want to modify, you'll come across something like this:

PrimaryHP:1:300_360...

1:x_x - X represents the angle in degrees (in this case, the weapon fires in the north-northwest direction [\|] )

x:300_360 - X represents the weapon number (ie. the weapon you'll be modifying, eg. aft phaser etc.)

The same concept goes for all the other weapons. I believe you can make completely new weapon arcs but there won't be any graphics (on the refit/weapon HUD display) to properly display it. There is a useful weapon arc image file in the 'Adding Ships Tutorial' that you can reference with to get the weapon arcs that have the graphics. Get it here:
