Universe Overwrite, TC, Whatever...

I have a question concerning TCs or whatever you wanna call them. If your TC is going to be smaller than the existing EVN universe, how do you stop th other stuff from showing up? I know you could just make your systems unconnected from the rest of the galaxy, but what about ships and stuff?

You could do the same thing with those...just create placeholders that can't be accessed anywhere (put a tech level of 32767 on them, for instance).

I already have a set of plugs that negates the nova universe.
All you have to so it make a plug, and fill up all the resorces not being used by you with no info. As in, use the resorces ID but don't put anything in the fields.

or you can just tell the people using your TC to first remove the Nova Data Files.

You sit down in the Remove Nova Data Files bar and order up your favorite drink. Suddenly, a strange man approaches you, on his way out of the bar.
"Remove Nova Data Files," He says.
"What? What are you talking about?" you respond, confused.
"You know, take the Nova Data Files out of that folder. You should know what folder I'm talking about."
"But I don't understand. Who are you? What are Nova Data Files, and why do I keep coming across those words everywhere?"
"If you Remove Nova Data Files, you'll understand. See ya!" He says calmly, and walks out of the bar. Before you know it, the bartender comes up to you with your drink. You ask him how much you owe, and he tells you to Remove Nova Data Files. You feel a shiver down your spine at hearing the words, and run out of the bar. You think to yourself: "Who are these freaks anyway?!? How do I Remove Nova Data Files?"

I see someone's been writing just a few to many mission introductions. Me too 🙂

On topic: For covering up missions, ships, and outfits you simply create a resource set it for a 0% chance of sale/occurrence, copy it, paste X number of times, select the entire group, paste, select "unique ID", repeat as necessary.

There's probably a better mothod out there but it's the one I'm used to.
