    Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right place, I'm new to forums so sorry if it doesn't belong here! Last time I played there were alien space stations and my friend loved them, so I wanted to try add them in from the legacy playfields to no avail. I'm editing it on HostHavoc and was wondering if anyone knows if this is possible to do or if there was a forum I missed that would help?

    Thanks!

    Yes, it is.
    I'm working on it even.
    I'm finding some difficulties, but slowly it's going.
    The file I'm touching is this, has some comments.

    Something I'd like to do is patrol ships stay near the station, I'm trying to do this without having to put them as cargo ships.

    I recently made some changes, but I had no way to test it. It may be that you generate an error while attempting to play in the game.

    Ahh! I tried it a little differently, but the server stopped working each time.
    I moved the Station to the playfields folder & then put it in the solar system .yaml. and another folder, copied one the asteroid belt's folders over to give it contents but I forgot it was a ring belt with the station in the middle if I remember correctly? I probably should have thought outside of the box rather than that. (I tried to do it under SpaceTraderStation [1,2] as SpaceAlienStation [4] hoping I'd get a load, failed lol)

    Interesting idea! Patrolling ships would make the area so much cooler to assault. Custom vessels might be cool there, too.

    I'll find some time to apply it differently using these and hope I make some progress to just get the sector to spawn.

    Random or static scenario?

    I tried with both Default Multiplayer and Default Random! I didn't try any others.

    Best to make your own scenario by copying one of those and then editing that as desired. Both those scenarios are set up to use random generation and you'll have to add customized playfields to your scenario and to your scenario's solarsystemconfig.yaml

    Got it! I'll try doing it that way, thank you.
    If I manage to get it all working I'll share said appropriate files here.
