Any way to edit unit costs?

from Sins Forums
I just played my first match and I didn't like how easy it was to spam frigates so now I'm curious if theres a way to increase the price on it.

Thanks all.

The answer should be soon. Blair Fraser should be posting the regular text file versions of the entity files sometime today for our editing pleasure.

Anyone figure out what dictates how many squadrons can be created on any ship? I was looking at the capital carrier.entity file and found:

squadTypeEntityDef:0 "SquadPhaseCombat"
squadAntiMatterCost:0 0.000000
squadTypeEntityDef:1 "SquadPhaseBomber"
squadAntiMatterCost:1 0.000000

I'm guessing that has to be fighter/bombers. I can't figure out how to increase the number though. I checked the squadphasebombers.entity and see I can increase the number of ships per squadron, I think, but I can't find out how to increase the squadrons available to ships.

I can't test right away, but I think you want maxNumCommandPoints in Frigate(Race)Carrier and CommandPoints; StartValue, ValueIncreasePerLevel, for caps.

Edit: Tested the Cruiser carrier, and yeah that's the value to change.
