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