is there a way to use this to edit the value's of ships and such yet?
There are two ways, that I've found so far, depending of exactly what you want to do.
1.
Change the ships very design, determining the armour, structure, top speed, savings cost etc, by locating, and editing, the design in the 'designs'-table.
2.
Change the values of the individual ships, but thats "limited" to the damage inflicted to various sections of the ship, name and 'psionic power'. This can be done in the 'ships'-table.
