    I don't seem to be having much luck using copy-paste in creative to move blocks between an HV and SV (even though I remove any HV specific blocks, most work with both ship types) but it just does not work for me.

    Especially now that there are turrets available on SV's I have seen many HV designs in the game/workshop that would be good candidates for SV versions, but there has to be a better way than just beginning with the correct starter block and duplicating the entire ship block by painstaking block?

    I am assuming that since every block of the original is "attached" to the starter block type, that it is permanent and not modifiable?

    Save a new copy of the blueprint you wish to convert.
    Type the following command into the console, including the single quotes:

    prefabinfo 'Name of Blueprint' -convert SV

    This will change a Blueprint into a SV.
    Then spawn a new copy of the Blueprint which will now be a SV. Remove any HV specific devices such as the constructor, hover engines, thrusters etc.
    Resave when done.

    Use this at your own risk of course. Always keep backups.

    My Hero! (and Eleon too ;-) )

    I had done only one "the hard way" thus far. Whew...

    Thanks!
