Quick question about making changes

from Sins Forums

If I have a saved game I'm in the middle of, and I feel like maybe oh say pirate corsairs have too much armor, or my illuminators are doing a bit too much damage, can I change the stats in the game files and have those changes show up in the save game once I reload it? Will that crash the game? Or do I simply have to start a new game. Okay, that wasn't really just one question, nor was it quick. But I'm betting the answer from you all-knowers out there will be ;) Thanks in advance.

It depends actually. You have to start a new game for the changes to work for sure, but I've noticed some basic stat changes do apply when you reload a game. So i guess try it and see what happens.

Okay, cool, so worst case scenario, whatever changes I make won't take effect until I start a new game...

 

I just don't want the game to look for the pirate corsair's 28 armor and find an 18 and it's head explodes (*does not compute, does not compute* MINIDUMP!!! sort of thing)

some changes yes do take place when you save then come back, as long as they are minor and have little bearing on overall gameplay (ie stats like armor)

if you go more extreme (like new ships and research) then you will get :borg: :cylon: :banhammer: x_x :waaaa:
