aerelm's Guide to "4.87 Restart Templates" Last Update: 17 Sep 2013, revision 1
-- Introduction:
As of 4.87, each faction is receiving its own restart template, summing up to a total of 85 restart templates, 79 of which is currently in use on Freelancer Discovery RP 24/7 server. Even though the /showrestarts command lists all the available restarts, its lack of formatting may decrease its usability, and hence this thread is posted to provide the same list in proper formatting, as well as providing additional details on each restart.
Restarts in 4.87 fall within the following template:
» Each restart provides a Civilian Shuttle with standard equipments, and 25,000 credits starting cash.
»House Civilian and Freelancer restarts of each region are set to +0.3 (3 blocks in green) with factions belonging to that house, to make double bribing for optional IFF possible. These restart Shuttles are generally parked on the capital planet of the house, unless listed otherwise.
»House Corporation restarts are set to +1.0 (full green) with their respective faction, already equipped with faction ID, and parked on the capital planet of the house. Reputation sheet of each restart is adjusted according to the predefined reputation template of their ID.
»House Faction restarts are set to +1.0 (full green) with their respective regular and guard factions, already equipped with faction ID, and are generally parked on faction's guard base with snubcraft sellpoints. These restarts also follow the predefined reputation adjustment template of their ID.
» Faction restart Shuttles are equipped with faction fighter guns while house civilian and corporate restarts are equipped with house civilian weapons. Freelancer restart Shuttles receive open-use civilian weapons of their region.
» Additionally, the player model (Trent) of each restarted ship receives the appropriate outfit and accessories based on the restart used, however, since certain adjustments (Robot voice for AI restart, female body for Chrysanthemums restart, etc) are not technically possible due to limitations in FL engine, ignore minor oddities you may find in some restarts.
