Where are the stats?

[Dichotomy]

Basically, if I wanted to try out stat tweaks on my own copy, how would I do it?

You mean, tweaking the stats of the ships?  They're compiled into the game, so there's not really a way to do that.

That was what I meant. Keith had mentioned something about balance tweaks being easy, so I thought there might have been an internal table or something. Oh well.

Thanks for the game, Chris!

They're easy to make for me

But yea, all hardcoded.  In theory (i.e. dangerous and really hoses multiplayer) you could hexedit your install's dll to change the main values, but there's dozens of rules that are checked afterward that may override the value, etc.  Basically you'd have to change a significant amount of compiled code to do substantial balance changes.  I've known people who find that kind of thing entertaining, but you seem more interested in sanity than that
