You can always edit the amount of renown you have to whatever you like.

Editing Renown (Cheat):

You have to be in the base after a mission for this cheat to work.Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Enter the "D:\Documents and Settings\<Your_Username>\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\<Your Career Name>" folder. Use a text editor to edit the file Patrols_0.cfg. Scroll down to your last mission details and change the amount of DeltaRenown that you got paid. Example: DeltaRenown=498.750000 Change to DeltaRenown=6500.750000

Save the file and start the game. You can now buy what you like in the game.

Hope that helps,

Its really not hard to edit the config files.

You can for instance, make the XXI cost any amount of renown you want, or even set it as your starting ship.

I've played around with one for awhile, they're nice, but they do have their drawbacks.

turn radius is awful

Has the turn radius worse then a tractor trailer.
Poor top speed for contact interception
batteries discharge too quckly and take too long to recharge

Other than that, its awesome. And ya you can "fix" the batter issue by making its batteries a 1000 bonus. (only way to do it honestly) But that in action makes the XXI a nuclear submarine with a periodical need to stick its snorkel up for air - thats about it. Very, un U-Boatish to me, kinda took the flavor out of the game for me, so i went back to a type 7.
