I didnt even buy the game (yes im a very bad man) yet i have the preorder ship unlocked in my options menu, heres how first go to this site Link and download the "PRE-ORDER CONTENT UNLOCKER" follow the instructions and thats it, as for editing your silver flagship, open up the assets file and search for preorder_ship. Once your in the right location the data for that ship starts around 24 lines above the first instance of the text "preorder_ship". Thanks to boyoboo, ive managed to turn my silver ship in to an invincible death dealer. Values ive found good to change are:
MoneyCost>3500
MaxHitpoints>20000


Ship>2
VisionRadius>1000
AttackRange>60
DamagePerSecond>45
SlotCount>6WalkingSpeed>35000Most of these have been explained by boyoboo but others ive found nice are thise section sets up that ships storage space, sometimes it wont say anything but if you replace the infro as shown above, it gives any ship the max 6 slots. Ive altered the vision range to 1000 so that even during huge maps, the fog of war is instantly gone, much better than ingame settings for maps since AI wont beable to see all as well. Attack range means you can attack from very far away. I gonna try seeing if you can make it to fire from any location on the map, like a nuke : ) Ive also made the same changes to the oriental ships, as well as make them easier to make. The AI doesnt seem to produce oriental ships, so your pretty safe. the id's to search for for quicker findage are:

15010 Caravel
15910 Large Oriental Trading Ship
15911 Large Oriental Warship

Hope this helps, sorry about the long post
