"Does anyone know how to allow all new players in MP to have altered start money?"

Modify the mpnewcharacter.fl (in the Exe folder) by opening it in notepad (no conversion needed).
You can change start loc, money (level), faction.

"How to change ship values as a server ie weapon classes, hull armour and stuff"

You can't with simple server-side mods. Each player will need the mod.
See the tutorials.

Pirate servers have had some success. Start off a weekend with everyone's new toons as pirates (pirate faction, pirate starting base with pirate ships, etc).

You can make FL a team sport by having the NPC shileds regen like player shields (group or die)...tutorial.

Might also want to have a look at this stickie thread.

Hi, already edited those but not quite clear on editing the factions at the start can anyone give me some help? Thanks

Look under mpnewchar in the EXE FOLDER

[Player
name = %%NAME%%
;initial_rep = %%FACTION%%
rank = 0

money = %%MONEY%%
;voice = %%VOICE%%
;All must be Trent!
voice = trent_voice

costume = %%BASE_COSTUME%%
com_costume = %%COMM_COSTUME%%

system = %%HOME_SYSTEM%% <--- edit this
base = %%HOME_BASE%% <--- edit this

heres the part u want i think:

house = 0.91, li_n_grp <---this means liberty navy , negative figure = hostile
house = 0.91, li_lsf_grp <--- this figure denotes friendly
house = 0.65, li_p_grp

hope this helps answer what u were looking for
