How to Give extra initial money

I successfully changed the initial ship Juni gives me to an Eagle, but there are no weapons, no thrusters, no nanobots or bats--and all I have is $500! I can't even get the ship off the planet! I've looked through all the newbie files some 6 times, and I can't find a description of how to either give money or commodities in the ship (which can be turned into money).

Games don't kill people. Evil programmers kill people.

just increase the cost of the justice mk1 in weapon_good.ini file and then each one of them will sell for 3 miln

set
price = 500
to
price = 500000000

or

just use save the game and use ioncross character editor.

I stayed up all night and figured out what I did wrong. When I edited the m01a.ini file in the Missions folder, changing the assignment of Act_SetShipAndLoadout = ge_fighter6, gd-gm_ge_fighter6_loadout01, I inadvertantly left out the _ge from the second term. As a result, not only did the Eagle heavy fighter have no armaments or anything else, it had no engine!
I made more money by changing the goods.ini and the Boron price from 120 to 1, bought 70 units, set the price to a lot more, sold this, and then reset it back to the original value. But I really didn't need the money, except to by a full load of nanobots and shield batteries. And when I tried to take off for my destiny in space, the game said I couldn't take off without an engine!!

I looked at all the relevent files, and figured out my misspelling. That solved it all, for suddenly the ship has some very extreme armaments. I'm having fun, for I'm really tired of getting killed all the time. I know its cheating, but I'm such a control freak that I can't resist! I struggled and played the game through once before, sweating blood and tears, so I feel I can now have fun.
