Is there a way to disable the default content (milo´s stuff) when running my mod?

My mod is gonna have its own universe and own set of ships/structures that arnt gonna be ballanced with milo´s. So I do wana disable them.

Milo can probably think of something, but I don't think it matters so long as you dont include his ships in mission DEFs

Well it doesnt really matter but it makes mission creation much smoother. Plus that if people wana make their own missions based upon my mod its much easier for them to know what to use.

Another thing is if I have a ship named the same as milo has then milos ship will be loaded even if I select mine from the mission list. For example I have a fighter called Thunderbolt and milo has an Attack ship named Thunderbolt. I select the fighter Thunderbolt but the mission loads the Attack ship thunderbolt because the game looks in the default content catalogue first then in the mod.

You're using a different name than Thunderbolt, right? The display_name is what gets shown in the game and that can be anything you want, but the name property itself should use a convention to avoid interference, such as "texmod_thunderbolt" for example.

No, that should work the other way around. Mods take precedence over built-in content.

Anyway, there's no way to just disable all of the built-in content from a mod. I'm not even sure that would be a good idea in general.
