Finding Equipment in the Universe

I need to find a specific equipment piece in the universe - not its stats but its location in the universe - wreck(probablly), base, e.g. in the .ini files

Datastorm doesn't work - it doesn't show the wreck or whereever this piece of equipment. I searched the loadouts, but couldn't find anything.

The situation is the following: it's a something from the EVO mod - somehow when I activated another mod(a bit conflicting) all my savegames from the original unmodded game were converted to the EVO. In it I was with the Titan(of course) and after the conversion it came equiped with the Corsair VHF PowerPlant. After I began playing in SP and MP I discovered that neither I nor anybondy else had found more than one type of PowerPlant(I can't remember the specific name).

If you look through the goods.ini file, you'll find the Loadout for the Titan. Check this file in the EVO mod, and the XML files... eventually you'll find it. That Loadout is what you're looking for, not the Loadouts.ini (which is for Wrecks and AI-controlled ships only). Once you've found it, you can find the powerplant entry.

Now... what are you wanting to do next? If your SP/MP character has been corrupted, then your only real hope is buy another ship. But chances are... what you really need to do is install a fresh copy of the FL SDK 1.3, which should get rid of any bad INI files that might've gotten left behind in your FL installation....

My goal is to discover the principle of finding locations for certain parts of quipment - specificaly I want to find a mod-added ship PowerPlant - that should cover adding eqipment.
Because I'm a little into it and I'm seriously thinking about starting to mod.

[Loadout
nickname = fc_ou_bw_elite_loadout01
archetype = bw_elite
equip = ge_bwe_engine_01
equip = npc_shield03_mark06, HpShield01
equip = bw_elite_power01

I want to find where in the universe(location) this loadout can be found - be it wreck or whatever else(because this is the best and it would come in handy to for my MP char to know the location )

I found out that what I'm searching for is nowhere to be found in the actual FL - it just has to be present in the .ini files.
Yet I'm still interested in the general way - of finding things so that I can experiment for a possible future mod of mine.
