Multiplayer Admin Tools

I was wondering if there was a admin tool that allowed you to modify the starting cash/ships/equipment for any given character. This is only for hosted games, so it would technically be completely legit, say I wanna start a server where all players start with titans and are required to be outlaws (basically hated by everyone, which would escalate to system wide conflicts between a few elite fighters and a few hundred npcs). Is there any way to do this? I play on one server with a friend, and he has a titan and I have a Sabre, and we figured we should make a guild and make our server Guild HQ, in which we were hoping to figure out how to turn off ship purchase and then give different players different ships depending on their rank. Someone please let me know if there is a possible way to do this, im very curious about this and would really like it if it was possible.

No tools, you would have to figure out how to do it within the .ini files.

To the best of my knowledge and limited research, most of those ini files are client side controlled.

Starting planet, ships, where ships are, commodities, prices, etc., are loaded up using the client .ini files. I am not sure about factions, and was curious about how that was controlled, but I imagine it is similar.

The host, to the best of my knowledge, is merely used for connecting players to other players, and is a storage base for the characters on your server when they log off. That's about it.

Anyone with more knowledge than me feel free to suplement my input.

There are server side .ini file(s) that the Admin can modify to allow you to start with more money or different faction settings. Macross starts you with 150k.
