Modding SW3?

Slightly off topic. I was looking through the XML files today, and found a DynamicMissions.xml. Looks like it's supposed to be replayable random missions that never got implemented.

Edit: I think I have once gotten a random mission to hunt down some pirate, but the game never pointed out where the guy was that I was supposed to kill, and I finished the game without ever completing it.

Just do a search for mothership_arba in the shipdescriptions file...

That is just leftover code from the replayable random missions that were in Starwolves 2. Starwolves 2 had it, but for some bizzare reason they took it out from Starwolves 3. Donno why... perhaps it had some major bugs (i imagine it was probably telling people to go to off-limits sectors) and the developers figured it would be easier to remove completely than to fix.

Look in the same sector you got the mission, you should see a target marker which should indicate where your target is at.

How did adding new slots for fighters/pilots go? Never knew you could even edit the GUI.

It seems that I overestimated my skills. Adding new hangar slots is easy. Adding new pilots needs lot of changes in many files but it isn't too complicated. Unfortunately, pilot limit seems fixed in exe. This is the main problem because when you hire new pilots at the start of the game they will probably cause CTD when the storyline pilots will come near the end of the game.
The solution is easy but unsatisfying (for me) . You will have to fire some pilots before you get over six (CTD) during storyline.
If you have another idea how to avoid pilot limit let me know.
