Howdy folks,

I'm a newcomer here - my brother and I played Stars! back when we were kids, over BBS. We got into it again about 2 years ago and have been playing over a shared SSH server together against loads of AI. We love it, and our wives probably despise us for it...

Now to the question:

We are about 70 years into our current game but have discovered that we forgot to allow computer player alliances (my fault). Is there a way to adjust the server flag on this? If so, would it even affect how AIs work this late into the game?

I've been reading a lot on these forums and the wiki over the last 6 months or so. From my reading, I gather it is the .xy file that stores the data; however, I've read that it is encrypted (and apparently only a few people know how to decrypt, and just as few know the file formats). I have some coding ability and I am comfortable reading/modifying binary data, but I'm a little lost with all the dissociate information scattered about.

Any help would be appreciative.

Thanks!
