Just woke up and i just thought up a a practical use for editing your files like this. because updating will often break your saves after this update you could write down exactly what your stats are ( skills, XP, level, aptitudes) then when a new update breaks your save put in the info and you may loose your ships but at least your character gets carried over. i know there is a way to add ships to the player fleet as well but that might be too much to bother with.

An import character function would be nice when adding new mods or whatnot

Currently running Conquest with following setup, although I am unsure of the exact modification setup.

Mjolnir x2
Hephaestus x2
Dual Flak x4
Burst PD x10
Pilum x4

I can't remember the rest of the build, so you'll have to wait until I get home.

Where would one find their player Experience to modify if they were to try this out? Its not for me its for a friend i promise....

it took me bloody ages to find it but if you want to try it don't ruin your main save, go to a blank save, put in the skills you get at the beginning it makes it easier to find, for example put points into leadership then go to the starfarer folder, saves, your save, campaign.xml. open that up and press Ctrl F. search for whatever aptitude you put points into IE leadership then just mash the search button until you find one that has points assigned to it, the rest will be 0.0  it should be near the bottom when you finally find it. then just throw points at whatever you want, its easiest to give yourself 200 skill points and 30 aptitude points and then close and save then launch your game and hey presto your still level 1 ( unless you change that too) and you have enough points for everything.


Thanks for the info dude.I found out though that it is much faster to use a skill name like helmsmanship to search the file.It took one hit and I found what I was looking for.Time for some good old fashioned cheating...

Most of that speed probably comes from stacking the new speed mod with augmented engines - that can make anything fast.

Barrelling through the enemy line going 145 in a Paragon is nuts. Love it.

I've been thinking save cheating or editing files has anyone reached max level yet? i'm sure someone has.

Open the campaign XML with notepad.

Ctrl-f: <skillPoints># of SP you have</skillPoints>
Proceed to add how many you like, and attitude points too since it's right next to this string.
