Setting the level for purchasing equipment

What do I need to do to change the level at which I am allowed to purchase ships or equipment? For example, let's say that I want to make the Banshee purchasable in the single player campaign when you first visit New Berlin. That would require me to change the level at which you can purchase the Banshee from level 20 to level 16. How do I do this?

I am a n00b so don't listen to me but what you do is:

1. make sure you use bini and unencrypt the \data\equipment\market_ships.ini file

2. find the code for the new berlin base under a "BaseGood" tag (god knows I have no clue what it is, i only know manhattan is Li01_01_base)
edit: here are the base codes

3. find the package name for the banshee (there is a list on here, you might have to search for it)
edit: ship package codes list


4. There is a string of 6 or 7 comma seperated numbers following the package name. The first number will be 20. Change it to 16. all done.

Cheers.

For weapons - use the market_misc.ini - you will need to know the nicknames of the guns you are after.......probs best using something else - i jsut know the factions and then work out which gun is which by hull damage of its ammo ( takes a min or two for each gun - but never wrong!)
then the six numbers - first is level to purchase, 2 is rep to purchase (-1 is that even if they hate you beyond belief you can buy it (same with ships) and 0.75 (positive) means that they have to LOVE you to sell it too you - can't remember if it goes higher.....lol - never bothered modding this really -but its correct....
The other numbers - well don't change em - i don't know - like i said i have never bothered to mod this part of the files before - so i don't know what the hell they are for......
