Hi Roza! I'm new at this too, so I'm not good at troubleshooting. Did you download 1.2? Are you using windows? Try deleting the homeworld cfg file and trying again.

That's exactly what I needed! I should have thought to look there *facepalm*. I'm going to get right on trying to implement that...
I like my idea of a dummy ship, and I've got Spacedock to not recognize it as a valid file. I considered using something like KartoFlane's blueprint idea (though my idea was less smart), but then I realized that using a ship model would allow me to easily trade between ships, and not have to write a new parser.

The Trading With combo box will list your other ships, and as well as the spacedock cargo bay.
Does that make sense/ would it be better to use xml/why?
