Hey @Chaplain_5-15, thanks for sharing some tips and tricks. @Hayawen contacted me and felt sorry for all these epb file hacking, so he went ahead and added a tiny but powerful tool to HWS Connect. Once I made it a bit more pretty, I will announce it on a larger scale and link it in the Garage Guide, but feel free to use it already 🙂 ![image](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/uploads/default/original/2X/6/608a778d8980547938857cbed6bf1c8c4a73464c.jpeg) [https://empyrion-homeworld.net/hws-connect.html#page-change-vessel-type](https://empyrion-homeworld.net/hws-connect.html#page-change-vessel-type) Once you logged in to HWS Connect, choose your blueprint file you want to convert let’s say a HV. Then choose the destination type, in this case CV. ( steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Saves\Blueprints ) Click on the Convert button and save it under a new name e.g. That new name is now your HV, converted to a CV 😉 All Signal logic and stuff are kept and not resetted like the method with the file copy paste stuff. Pro tip: once you resave your .epb file while you are ingame, you can just spawn a new version of it on the fly. You don’t need to go back to the main menu even.
