Due to how short the term is, I couldn't find any good search results, but is there a way to remove (s) mods, say, on a ship that has a very limited production run? I know there isn't a legitimate way in-game to do this, but surely there is a way to modify the save file?  I'd like to avoid using a mod, since the game tracks that.  Thanks, and my apologies if this has (surely) been asked a million times... I've constructed this post to perhaps be picked up by the search feature a littler better.

terms: (s) mods, s-mods, smods

I don't know about removing the s-mods through save editing, but you can always use console commands to add another one of the ship you want and scuttle the s-modded one.

There is no vanilla way to remove s-mods without cheating, sadly.

Yes you can modify the save file. Make sure you make a backup first, in case you do anything wrong.

Search through the save file for the ship's name. About 2 pages after that (depending on how many weapons the ship has), you'll see some text that looks like this:

Code

<hM z="43705">
<st>comp_hull</st>
<st>hardenedshieldemitter</st>
<st>hardened_subsystems</st>
<st>solar_shielding</st>
<st>safetyoverrides</st>
<st>frontemitter</st>
</hM>
<pM z="43706">
<st>comp_hull</st>
<st>hardenedshieldemitter</st>
<st>hardened_subsystems</st>
</pM>
<sMods z="43707">
<st>hardenedshieldemitter</st>
<st>hardened_subsystems</st>
</sMods>

If you want to get rid of the S-mod for hardened subsystems, for example, just remove the 3 lines where it shows up. That'll get rid of the hullmod entirely from the ship.

I love you.  Thank you!
