As you can see about 50% (Waypoint add + change + delete) are waypoint manipulations.
Another 25% (Fleet merge, change, split) is a fleet manipulations.
And 11% is a production queue manipulation.

Have you per any chance tested if it's easy enough to "manipulate" these blocks without causing Stars! trouble?

x file blocks manipulation is pretty easy thing if you know an encryption (especially comparing to hst and m files manipulation) and I had done several tests, which works well, but being able to just write x file blocks isn't the biggest problem here.
Imho, it's not a good idea to just give ppl a possibility to add any block to the x file, since first of all I have to research how will Stars! react on any of possible unintentionally wrong/added by mistake blocks ("free pop hack" is one example here, and giving order to the foreign fleet will be another one), and if Stars! will react badly, then some sort of verifier will be required. Also I have to ensure that such a "tools" will only give a possibility to perform a valid order and prevent from "shooting yourself in the foot", which makes things much more complex then just x file blocks manipulation. Hope that makes sense.

This is stated perfectly. Very Happy
