How to remove ships from random maps?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Ok this is my first post so here goes.

when starting a new game you recieve 3 ships. Does anyone know how to remove the ships?

I want to start my campaign with no ships, also I want all other civ's to start with no ships as well.

I feel this is more of a just starting the space race thing.

I play on ramdomly generated maps, under normal mode.

Any help would be great.

I'm sorry to say, that is simply not possible, because the ingame mapgeneration requires
those ships(even modded) for some reason.
That means you have to live with the starting ships

Oh the anger, I thought it was hardcoded since there is no random or whatever in the map folder. I just hate starting with a survey capable ship, since you don't have that tech yet.

Thanks for helping me out.

Well, I'm sorry I didn't make clear, you can mod the surveyship, you only have to make sure, the name stays "surveyship" , I think. Anything else of the shiptype can be modded and will appear as you modded, however you can't remove the starting ships totally
