How to get passed credits when playing as Feds

posted on December 22nd, 2008, 9:23 am

I've found quite an effective way to bypass the credits system when playing feds. Add to the fed const ship the Mckinley shipyard(this will allow the construction of Galaxy, Nebula, Steamrunner and Descent). It seems that the more Mckinley shipyards you have, the more ships you can build above the max credits limit. However, you won't be able to call ships from the SFC building

mckinley shipyard?

An ODF for the McKinley Ship yard is in the game files, however it is not present in the normal form of the mod.

I won't call it a cheat because it's in the mod and nothing extra has been added. The only "bug" is that every new McKinley yard increases your max credits, even though this is not displayed in the credits menu in the GUI

How exactly do you get the Mediterranean Class to build the McKinley Yard? I added the string to the Mediterranean odf but it doesn't appear in the build que.

Did you add it at the bottom of the build list or replace one of the "all_delay"'s with "fed_mckinley_yard"?

I tried one, and then the other with no results. There must be something else you have to do.

You have to build several stations with that const ship before you are able to build the yard

It worked; funny how you have to build a defense platform before you can build the McKinley yard.

You can also build those ships by adding them to the Antares or Eraudi type yards but this takes
away a bit of the challenge.

Thanks for the generous tips. Cheers!
