This guide provides a step-by-step process for adding hover ships to a player's inventory in Empyrion Galactic Survival using the console commands. This is primarily useful for testing, administration, or assisting players in a single-player or multiplayer server environment. Improper use can significantly impact gameplay balance.

Understanding the Process

Adding items directly to a player's inventory bypasses normal gameplay mechanics. This means the player won't experience the challenges of acquiring the ship through normal means, such as building or finding it. Use this feature responsibly.

Identifying the Correct Ship ID

Before you can add a hover ship, you need its correct ID. This unique identifier is essential for the console command to function correctly. You can find this ID in a few ways:

• In-game exploration: Carefully examine the description of any hover ship in the game; the ID is sometimes included in detailed information.
• Empyrion Wiki: The Empyrion Galactic Survival wiki often contains detailed information on items, including their IDs. Search for the specific hover ship you need.
• Game files (advanced): More experienced players might explore the game files themselves. Caution: Modifying game files improperly can lead to game instability.

Executing the Console Command

Once you have the ship's ID (let's assume it's ExampleHoverShip), use the following command in the Empyrion console:

admincheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerName> ExampleHoverShip 1

Replace the following:

• <PlayerName> with the exact in-game name of the player. Case sensitivity matters.
• ExampleHoverShip with the actual ID of the hover ship.
• 1 represents the quantity of the ship. Change this if you want to add multiple ships.

Example: To give one "Basic Hover Ship" (assuming its ID is "BasicHoverShip") to a player named "JohnDoe," the command would be:

admincheat GiveItemToPlayer JohnDoe BasicHoverShip 1

Troubleshooting

• Incorrect ID: Double-check the ID. A simple typo will prevent the command from working.
• Case Sensitivity: Player names and IDs are case-sensitive. Ensure you match the exact capitalization.
• Server Permissions: Ensure you have the necessary server administrator permissions to execute console commands.
• Mod Conflicts: Some mods might interfere with console commands. Try disabling mods if you encounter issues.

Important Considerations

• Balance: This command can drastically alter gameplay balance. Use it sparingly and responsibly.
• Player Experience: Consider whether giving away ships detracts from the player experience.
• Alternatives: Explore alternative methods like providing resources to help players build their own ships.

This guide should help you add hover ships to players in Empyrion. Remember to use this power wisely and fairly. Always prioritize preserving the intended gameplay experience.
