Highscores reset?

[alocritani]

Is it possible to reset the highscores table? because I've started several games just to try something and never actually finished them.
They are still around in the highscores table.

I've tried playing with settings.dat, but I'm unable to understand the profile part (other than player name).

Any suggestion?

Do you just want to clear it out completely?  Do you mind if you have to recreate your profile(s)?  I'd suggest:

1) Make sure the game is not running.
2) Make a backup of your settings.dat, as I'm not 100% sure what the next step will do
3) Delete the line starting with PlayerProfiles from settings.dat
4) run the game

You'll need to recreate your profile but I think all the score data is in there.

Done!
I'm reporting here as a reference, if someone else is interested.

my highscores table as it appears in game is attached


I found that the line is made of several parts

section 1
0°Angelo°-16744448°

player name

Then I thought I recognized a pattern:
map seed,win/lose(1/0), complete/incomplete(1/0) ,scores, game lenght in seconds, ratios, kills and most used ship, followed by player game,type of ai(ai1/ai2), and than something that seems a bitmap and a lot of 0/1, a "false" and again numbers (positive and negatives).

This pattern seems to repeat for every line in the highscores.

finally I think there's the achievements section.
section 5

Keeping only section 1 (player name) and section 5 (achievements) did the trick.

If I have time, I'll investigate more about other values in highscores section in future.
