=== Enable mutli-system simulation ===
Multi-system simulation, introduced unofficially in [[Version History#Alpha 7|Alpha 7]], allows you to have ships in different systems at the same time. It was officially added to Industry mode in [[Version History#Alpha 8|Alpha 8]], but can be enabled in Free Roam and Survival modes by adding the line <code>MultiSystemSimulation true</code> to the top of the save file (before the HUD section).

=== How to setup an AI fight for two player-created ships ===
Game Version: Alpha13B - Steam
 
''Note: You'll need your favourite text editor. I use <nowiki>https://notepad-plus-plus.org</nowiki>''
 
''Note: For readabilty in this guide, example save-game text is indented (by 1 tab), but it isn't in original save-game files.''
 
TLS = The Last Starship
 
==== AI Strategy ====
You can assign an "AI-strategy" to either ship, which determine how they fight:
 
<code>StrategyVeryCloseOrbit:  Broadside orbits within Gatling gun range.</code>
 
<code>CloseRangeAggressive:    Broadside orbits in cannon range just outside of gatling gun range.</code>
 
<code>MediumRangeOrbit:        Broadside orbits within far end of cannon range.</code>
 
<code>LongRangeSniper:         Broadside orbits at railgun range well outside of cannon range.</code>
 
<code>FastMovingJet:           Forward facing strafing Runs, fly's straight at opponent then circles around to do it again.</code>
 
==== Instructions ====
 
* In TLS, create your own ship and export it, or subscribe to a ship on steam workshop. Or alternatively, download a ship from a trusted website. Ships are stored in the ship folder: {{Data directories|ships}}
* Each ship has a ship-file named "<ship-name>.ship", and an image file named "<ship-name>.png".
* Launch TLS, and select Creative Mode -> Create New Ship
* Go back to the main menu (by pressing the escape key) and select "Import Hostile", then select a ship to import. Note the name of the imported ship, which will appear in red at the top right of the screen. We'll refer to this as "ship-1".
* Repeat this process to import a second ship, "ship-2".
* Go back to menu and select: Save Game -> Create New Save, then give it a helpful name (e.g. ship-1 vs ship-2).
* Go back to menu and select: "Abandon Game".
* Open the save game folder (not the ship folder): {{Data directories|saves}}
* Open the save game file (.space file) you just created, using your text editor.
* Text search for "NEWSHIP", it should look like this... then delete this whole section including the BEGIN and END.

''Info: occasionally there are other random ships named "NEWSHIP" with a much bigger definition. You can just ignore or delete them.''
 
* Text search for the ship name you noted for "ship-1", you should find a section that starts like this:
 
BEGIN Layer     
Name                "CANNON WALL FUN MK3" 
Author              ZENRATH 
Class                Ship 
Id                  1612 
SystemId            1 
Type                HostileShip 
Offset.x            0
Offset.y            0
 
* Change the Type from "HostileShip" to "FriendlyShip"
* Optionally, set both Offset.x  and Offset.y to "0".
* Text search *from your current position* for "Strategy", then change the word immediately following "Strategy" to an AI-Strategy for ship-1.
 
BEGIN ShipAI    Layer 1612  TargetId 1610  LastLaunch 153.87734406203825  Broadside -1  Engaged true  Strategy FastMovingJet  END
 
*  Text search for the name you noted for "ship-2", you should find a section that starts like this:
 
BEGIN Layer     
Name                DEFIANT 
Author              RANAMAR 
Class                Ship 
Id                  2508 
SystemId            1 
Type                HostileShip 
Offset.x            1500
Offset.y            1500
 
* Leave the Type as "HostileShip"
* Optionally, set both Offset.x  and Offset.y to "1500".
* Text search again *from your current position* for "Strategy", then change the word immediately following "Strategy" to an AI-Strategy for ship-2.
 
BEGIN ShipAI    Layer 2508  Broadside -1  Engaged true  Strategy CloseRangeAggressive  END
 
* Save the changes to your savegame (.space) file.
* Return to TLS. Select "Load Game", and the save-game you just edited.
* Quickly pause the game.
* At the top right of the screen, select ship-1, whose name should now be in green.
* Activate "Battle Stations".
* Un-pause the game, and enjoy the show!
* Items Inventory Codes
