With the upcoming content update, the default Viera ship will change, which will create some issues for existing Viera characters. I wanted to ensure smooth preparation for this transition, so for those seeking a fix to refresh to the new ship, follow these steps:

Caution: Backup all files in case something goes wrong. Zip up your ships, player and universe files for safe keeping.

1. Start the game and remove EVERYTHING from your ship storage as a precaution! Also, your new ship will have no fuel!

2. Quit the game and copy your ship mod files to the ships directory according to the mod's instructions.

3.Start the game and load character who's ship you are replacing (you'll see the broken image above).

4. Jump down to planet and change a block or something (doesn't matter what - you just want the world file to change).

5. Quit game completely.

6. Go into your Starbound\player directory and sort according to date. Your character files will be at the top.

7. Remove the just changed .shipworld file. (just drag it to your desktop in case things don't go well)

8. Start the game and load your character. The new ship will appear (a new .shipworld file is generated).

Win!
