Yes I actually found that file and edited it without issue. I understand the concern with the story points and was wondering how much of an effect it will have late game, will let you know how it feels to me when it gets there. A major reason I wanted to increase the level curve was because so many of the fleet battles end up giving like 90k xp and with my modpack I am constantly fending off raiders and invasions from multiple factions simultaneously resulting in having too many story points stockpiled for my liking, wanting to decrease how often they occur to make them much more of a strategic resource than something I can obtain with relative ease, and so far in the early game the do accumulate pretty well to still have a decent stockpile of them, we shall see how it goes later though..

The comments were not changed and make a reference to the default values. I would modify these to end in 0's to sate the OCD compulsion, but I dont want to.
