Hull Plan
From PlanetsWiki

[edit] Overview
Hull Plans are what allows a military space port or dry dock to construct a ship's hull. A race will start off with all of the plans necessary to build its own hulls. Hull plans can be traded using Construction or Gold Pods and through ship transports. Hull plans can be stolen by the Hull Plan Napper or Hacker Droid ship devices or the "Steal Ship Plans" Spy Attack. A ship or base can contain a single hull plan from a different race (referred to as foreign or alien hull plans).
[edit] Transfer from Ship to Ship
[edit] Method A
This process can be used to transfer hull plans from your ship's data banks to another of your ships or an ally's ship.
- On your ship's Trans screen, choose a transport target. You don't have to transport anything, but you have to initiate a transport with another ship.
- On your ship's Build screen, choose a hull plan.
- Click on the green down arrow labeled Store Plans In Memory.
- Click on the toggle for Transmit Data so that it will show as being "On".
[edit] Method B
You can tranfer a single plan to as many ships as you wish in a single turn.
The receiving ship needs to be at the same point and has to initiate a Ship Transfer to the ship carrying the plan you wish to get.
The receiving ship has to turn on receive data under the build tab.
There is no limit on the amount of ships that can get the plan from a single original plan on he ship carryng the plan you wish to get.
The receiving ships need to be of the same player (or an ally ship) as the he ship carryng the plan you wish to get.
The receiving ships must not have a plan stored in their memory banks to get the new plan.
[edit] Notes
- If the target ship already has a hull plan in its memory bank then you it will have to be erased to receive the new one. You may erase a plan and receive a new one in the same turn.
- If you have hull plans in locked in memory of the ship and it is captured, the hull plans will remain locked in memory for the capturing player to exploit.
- You can transfer plans to a target ship, which can then be set to transfer to another ship and both ships will have the hull plan.
- You can not transfer a plan to a base that already has a hull plan stored.
- You can not transfer a plan to a base that is using CIA to delete the stored hull plan.
[edit] Transfer from Ship to Base
It is not possible to transfer hull plans from your ship to an ally's base. It was probably removed due to abuse. However, you may use the same procedure as above to transmit plans from your ship to your base.
[edit] Transfer using Pods
- You can send a hull plan in a pod, to land in one of your base (or in ally base)
- When a gold pod with hull plan land in a base it will replace any existing one without the need to delete it first.
- You can order a pod with a plan inside to dock with one of your ship (or an ally ship).
[edit] Transfer Base to Base
You can transfer an alien hull plan you have at one of your bases by using the Base Command Code GBA. This will merge your base with an ally base at the same planet and give him the alien hull plan. (Host 199)
[edit] Hull Plan Storage
- The only reason to store your own race plan (in a pod or in a ship) is for trading. You can build all your race Hull without Hull Plan.
- One Alien Hulls plan can be stored per pod, ship or a base.
[edit] HConfig
- The HConfig option Alien Hull Trading Allowed can enable/disable the trade of alien plans.
- When disabled, you cannot move plans around and can't build alien ships with them.
- Races listed as immune to hull plan restrictions mean that the HConfig option has no effect on them.
