Editing Ship Armor and cargo

I edited the armor cap of the sabre from whatever it is like.... 10025 or something to 19890. How do I open the dll's so's I can edit the Ship tags?? Also, when I use nanos I only get up to 10025.

The cargo I forgot. I made it 500 as a test but when I do a tractor It only picks up 70. The rest of my tinkering worked like nano and such cap. help plz?

I used to hate weddings cause all my aunts and grandmas would poke me and say "Your next sonny!" They stopped when I started doing it to them at funerals

I noticed a similar problem delveling into the realm of editing for the first time. I edited cargo size, nano and shield batteries. Nothing showed up as changed for cargo but nano's and batts did change but not to what I set them , I set them to 100 and they only increased by 30 , wierd huh.
I"m still playing around with it , let you know what I come up with .

Thanks. I'm really annoyed because whenever I go to pick up MORE than 70 of something with tractor(buying works fine) It constantly tries to tractor in the loot And I meant that I had increased the number of batteries and naons to 300 or 100 or somehting, not the cap it restores.

Is the loot shield batteries? If you're full up you get a tractor not working message.

I have my cargo set up to 200000 or something and usually have a ton of cargo (1000+ goodies) in the hold (purchased & tractored) and have no problems tractoring stuff in.

Now that you mention it, yes it happens with shield battries. But with cargo it happens as well. I will now go into rant mode. I just tested it right now. I had an empty hold, I edited the shiparch.ini to give me 500 cargo space. Go blow up some depots. 120 cargo worth of hydrocarbons fall out so I hit tractor. I pick up 1, 2, and 10 or the third, they are each 30 worth. The rest, It keeps trying to pick them up...like a constant tractor sound and the line. REALLY annoying considering I plan on making a new ship based on the eagle or sabre but with extended cargo and weapon capabilities. also, no one seems to answer this for me but HOW DO I OPEN UP THE DLL's AND EDIT THE SHIP NAMES? caps. sorry, had to get it noticed. Also, do I maybe have to be on my own server....? be right back.

Checked single player works fine there...damn! I guess I'll have to host my own server for it to work Anyone know how to bypass a firewall, Or easier, how many people would be good for the game if I was playing too, with a 1.8 gigahertz athlon xp 512 of ddr 333 ram and a dsl connection? runs fine on other servers

Ok , update, i did some cargo runs with my rhino last nite, I had uped cargo to 500 for that ship , it still shows as having 80 cargo per the tag but I was able to transport 200 cargo. Still trying to figure out why . I went thru all the freighter shield data and doubled all the shield recharge rate, capacities , and strengths. When I looked at my current shield it had been changed as was the shield descriptions at all the bases . Now to figure out why the equipment updates and not the ships. Working on those tags .

Ship junk is in dlls but HOW DO I OPEN THEM. It only doesn't work on Other player servers. I need to make my mod available and make a server, buut I have a firewall and FLserver crashes constantly. Also where can I get All seeing Eye?
