the xml modding works very well though, ive adjusted the base health of what faction im currently playing, modded the teir5 equipment, giving myself loads of money, lots of items. Increased all ammo/charges to 999999. Theres more to do i havnt faffed with too.
Npc fighter ships dont use ammo it seems since the ammo setting there is set at -1
I bet it means unlimited ammo with that setting
You can find it in person.xml file

one thing that is a big problem, is that alot of what you can edit applies to all factions. initially, only i had access to v-5 gear, but once the enemy does too, they have the same advantages. For ground combat you can still modify faction weapons, but for space all gear is universal. If i could alter the experimental tech, which i assume is exclusive to the player, then that would be best. At the mo when i come across v-5 enemies, it takes ages to blow em up.
I cant find any modifyable attributes for the experimental gear, which is annoying.
So a trainer for basic health, energy etc would be very handy, so i can then put the v-5 gear back to normal, and still have the advantage

yup i found that out also
Items that are faction specific can be modded, but items that all factions use when modded then they also make use of it.
For example i modded the player defender katana ship,
got my butt handed a lot times getting killed, so i upped the health of the ships but that doesnt work for the player ship.
What helped though was putting regenerate for shields, i am using
a 5th gen shield, but i bet as soon as the other factions use that shield also then its of no use anymore, since you cant kill that other ships then
Btw where did you found that experimental gear?
PS: save games are also in XML format, i located the player char
in there, even gave him a new unique armor, which i first defined in item.xml and item_loc.xml. I copied the vortex armor
and named it uber armor , you have to do that as well in the loc file also.Then i simple gave him that armor in the save.xml
Also you can set player health in the save game.
AND.. the player ship is also to be found in the save xml
