Player editable starships

[Daso]

So I've been searching for an answer to this without success. Is it possible for players to edit a PC owned starship? So far, it seems that as GM, I'm the only one that can create/modify the starship. Once the players are in, they can change their roles, but nothing else.

Is this something that's planned? I'd love it if I could create a blank ship and have my PCs create/upgrade their own ship like they do with their PCs.

They can not. The GM is the only one that can change the record.

Expanding the ownership is a tad tricky with how FG handles who can do what. I am tinkering with different methods, but have not solidified a solution yet. It will go live once it is found.

I have my players create their ship on this site https://jamesturneronline.net/starfinder-ship-builder/ and then they send me the save data and I recreate for them in FG. The site is free and has all the content. When I am ready to build the upgraded starship I make a copy of the current ship in the PC Ships window and add the TL to the end of the name then make the changes. This makes starship creation and upgrades very easy.

That's a weird change. I've had players build a ship in the past, why was Starship Items removed?

[superteddy57]

Ship items was not removed. The button can be accessed under PC ships.

I miss-spoke, I saw that the button had been moved, but a while back I allowed the players to make starfighters, and now the Ship Item button is only available to the GM within the PC ships button. Just makes it harder now that it's me having to do it.

[superteddy57]

Players can't change items on a PC ship if they are in the partysheet. If you would like to adjust the AC and TL there are misc boxes to adjust the automated number collection.

Its one of the projects that just hasn't reached the top of my list. Other things have taken priority as of late and I will tackle it once I am able to circle back around.

I solved it! I created an extension that allows you to give starship ownership to a player. They can now create a starship, repair systems during combat, balance shields, add bonuses to TL and AC for stunts and select the damage arc and apply damage to the party ship. The GM can focus solely on the NPC ship.

I hope you will share your extension on the forge so the rest of the Starfinder community can benefit from your creation.
