Sounds reasonable but you should check that the component editor at least loads your changes. You can run it by supplying the --components option to Nova. You can do this at a command line or by setting it as a parameter in your debug options. You should become familiar with running Nova up in the debugger with different starting options as it helps a lot with debugging. For a full list of command line options see command-line.txt in the Documentation directory (stars-nova\Documentation). It looks like this:
Start Launcher
Nova --launch
Start New Game wizard
Nova --new
Start Race Designer
Nova --race
Start Component Editor
Nova --components
Start Console
Nova --console
Start GUI
Nova --gui -r <race> -t <turn> -i <intel file> -s <state file>
Run AI
Nova --ai -r <race> -t <turn> -i <intel file>
Display the help screen
Nova --help
Some example command lines:
