Hello. I was wondering if this is possible to do. I have tried editing the campaign.xml file in the saves folder and I have tried editing the player.faction file in the world folder as well. This has given me no success so far so I was wondering, am I doing something wrong? Is it possible at all to increase the maximum number of fleet points or is this not doable?

Please answer me asap! : )

I know you can, don't worry.

As for know how, I don't, ask someone like WaRStalkeR

You could try lowering the point requirements of the ships themselves instead. Vandala has a mod that halves the FP points of all vanilla ships, I think.

I'll check out the mod.

Lowering fleet point cost does has side effects I've heard, it affects experience gains, and game balance.

Yes, the balance seemed to be put off a lot.

its  in your save folder, then open the corresponding campaign save you want to change, and it is yes in campaign.xml, its just tricky to find it, but ill tell you how i do it

open it up with notepad++ ( dont use search its a *** and will always show you something you dont want ( well as there too many line with the same name so yea... ) )

you want to shrink the "object" group under "containinglocation" normally object is the line 23 if nothing is changed before. ( may take a while as there is so many stuff in it and is ass long to shrink it all )

then shrink "renderer" its supposed to be the next group available to be shrinked

then "hitParticules" its a short one, but still in your way :)

then shrink "SpawnPoints" will also take a moment depending how how many fleet can be spawn in different point, but not as long as "object"

alright now you came around "FleetData" that is about all fleet in your save including yours, but i think normally its start with yours

Shrink "members" under fleetdata, then bam, Maxfleetpoint appear, its your max fleet point, change it to whatever you want to increase your fleet size

be warned tho, if you have an ass huger fleet, many enemy will just run in fear from your massive fleet because of the fleet point in total

so yea there ya go

hope you understand the step :) and see what to shrink ( and maybe its the wrong word "shrink...." but that the only word that come to my head into doing the action lol as the list shrink into a 1 line >_>

That is not correct.

Simply searching the save file for "maxfleetpoints>100" is enough to find the right one (with normal notepad, no idea why you'd want to use any advanced program for that).

Increasing the maximum fleet points is literally just a matter of 30 seconds (open, search, change -> done), I don't see why you're making it look so complicated.

I've met another bump in the road. When I engage somebody in battle, I get the usual deploy your units screen. I was wondering if I can increase the number of allowed deployable ships?

If you've already taken keptin's advice and goosed this value upwards--

config/settings.json

"battleSize":

--then you should already have the solution for that:

Doing so will allow both sides to deploy considerably greater force for actual combat.
