Overview
An 'iron ass' is a trade ship or fighter kitted out to be a battle ship. The traditional Iron Ass will be equipped with military lasers on all mountings, a full quota of missiles and all the defensive and offensive addons available on the market.
Iron Ass ships are generally flown by very experienced pilots, often ranking Dangerous or above.
Iron Ass ships are usually Imperial Couriers, Super Cobras or other added ships. These ships are sleek and maneuverable thus making them good choices for the supreme ship.
Cheating
In Oolite, you can cheat to get an Iron Ass, the simplest way is to edit the Savefile and alter the number under the <key> Credits, usually typing in 9999999 (7 nines) to get 9 million credits and buying everything from the shipyard, preferably from Zaonce or other high tech systems.
A more sophisticated way is to locate your current ship's Shipdata text which is located in ooliteApp-->Resources-->Shipdata. Find your ship's name with the role "player", not anything else and edit the number of max missiles (to 15), Max Energy to 2000 and energy recharge rate to 500. This will effectively make your ship's energy bank never-ending (unless you are crazy enough to crash onto something hard enough for your ship to explode instantly).
I have tested this out, the results were pretty good.....could survive 20 minutes of non-stop Naval Military Laser fire....as well as keeping the ECM on all the time. But remember! This is CHEATING!!
