Looking for "fake" ship parts

from GalCiv2 Forums

I've browsed through the mods for ship building mods and haven't seen for certain what I am looking for.  I would really like a way to add non-functioning engines, weapons, modules, etc purely for cosmetic reasons (e.g. the ship design looks most symmetrical with three engines, but I can only afford to place one).

 

Is there a way to do this?  Something in the base shipyard I'm missing or a mod that provides non-functioning parts?

 

Thanks.

I made a mod like this about six months ago. Of course, the library is down, so I can't upload it, but it does exist. There is also this mod, and KHSM has some fake stuff in it as well.

I had been eyeing KHSM, but wasn't ready to jump for it since it didn't look like it had everything I wanted.  That plus the mod you linked seem to do the trick.  Thanks for the info!!

 

It took a while to get everything to work.  The directory tree KH suggested for installing his mod didn't exist, and even though I was pretty sure I put it in the right spot I couldn't get it to work.  After a couple of hours of fiddling (restarting, reloading, redownloading . . .) I discovered the "Enable Mod Usage" radio button on the options screen.  Which, since I didn't have it checked, prevented the mod from running even though I had it selected.  Kind of a stupid button, really . . .
