i think this is what you are talking about, and if you arent make sure you copy the whole gameinfo folder

I dont know a thing about what to do, let alone see any of it. =/
All the letters/Numbers are all bunched up. It hurts my eyes.   

once you get the CAPITALSHIP_TECHBATTLESHIP.entity, you're looking for these sections:

weapon
tabbed stuff

there's a bunch of lines that say DamagePerBank: (direction in caps) number. the number is the strength of a salvo, and this is pretty self-explanatory once you look around. to change the rate of fire, change PreBuffCooldownTime to the length in seconds you want. the beam also has a duration, which is how long the shot lasts, and for each second the shot lasts, the damage is inflicted.

To change the number of squadrons:
CommandPoints
StartValue 0.600000
ValueIncreasePerLevel 0.200000
once this hits one, you get a squadron, so if you increase StartValue to 1.0, that'll give you a squadron right away, and increasing ValueIncreasePerLevel will get it more fighters at higher levels.

Hope this helps!

if you want any other stuff, just ask.
