As mentioned here: How to scale a ship up or down: [*]Click the "Select Blocks By Drawing A Frame" option. [*]Drag the selection rectangle around the entire module to select everything. [*]Press [Ctrl]+"c" to copy. [*]Turn 'Safe Mode' off. [*]Delete the ship, but make sure to leave behind at least one block! (The easiest way would be to either add one more block and then deleted selected blocks, or Apply a basic cube ship .xml. See Note 1, below.) [*]Press [Ctrl]+"v" to paste. [*]Adjust your Scale Step and Grid Size as needed. [*]Hold down either W, A, S, or D while dragging the mouse to scale. Note 1: Optional (easier) way to skip steps 4 and 5; If you saved the base cube as a ship file beforehand, you could simply Apply that. I find that easier. I believe most players call them "templates" because these are all saved in the templates.xml file (found in your C:\Users\ [username] \AppData\Roaming\Avorion\ folder). How to create new templates (bottom of your build inventory window): [*]Select the blocks you want to become a template using either the "Select Blocks" option or the "Select Blocks By Drawing A Frame" option. [*]Press [Ctrl]+"c" to copy. [*]Press [space] to open the build inventory window [*]Press [Ctrl]+"v" to create a new template out of the selected blocks. Sometimes, however, I have need to convert a ship file directly into a template without the copy and paste method. (The copy and paste method may change something.) How to convert a ship .xml into a template: Create a copy / backup of your templates.xml file. (See above for location.) Open templates.xml with either Notepad or Notepad++. At the bottom of the file, right before the last </templates>, insert this code: <template accumulateHealth="true" convex="true"> </template> Open the ship .xml with either Notepad or Notepad++. Copy the ship's data, but only the stuff between the <ship accumulateHealth="true" convex="false"> and </ship> tags. Paste it between the <template> </template> tags in the code above. Save your modified templates.xml file. Profit.
