Alright, hopefully I'm not forgetting a step...

1. Create a new folder in the mod folder of your Sins of a Solar Empire Mod Folder.

2. In that folder, Cretae another folder called GameInfo.

3. Paste all of the Capitalship tech reserach into that folder.

4. Open each research with a text editor like Notepad. Convert them to readable text format if necissary.

5. Change the line appropriate line (I don't remember the name right now, but it should be obvious after reading it) to the number of capital ships desired at that research level.

6. Enable the mod in the options on the main menu and enjoy.

^Where did you get the starbase entity files from? Did you edit those files in any way? Did you add or rename any files?

I got the three files from another mod ( Mad Scientists mod)  and it functions well.  I did alter the files a little bit, I changed the max points from 8 to 17 for tec, 19 for Vas, and 20 for Advent.  I did not change the names of the files in any way.  I do not have any kind of manifest file anywhere in the Mod I am trying to create.  Although the MS mod did have one (he is a real modder unlike me).  I am only trying to modify the number of points the Starbases have for upgrades, so that they can use it all.
