modifying game files

[jrones92]

I was wondering if there was any way to open up the game files and adjust the values for ships health, weapons, sensors that sort of thing. I've been playing with surface ships mods and I want to try a tweak some things for the sake of fun. Like giving destroyers armor and guns like battleships just to see what would happen.

Yes, there is, but be forwarned, you will end up spending a lot more time modding the game, than playing it.

Most of the files can be opened and edited with either S3d or Notepad.

Some values not so bad, others, you mess with one, it effects another, then the domino effect.
