Brilliant! Changing the ships was enough to get me through - you sir are a genius!

Okay, so I've been playing star control again, after a decade, I just grabbed it from abandonia ( http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/144 ) and am playing it using dosbox. And ... well ... yeah I screwed up. I basically ran out of fuel and am waiting for the traders to show up, meanwhile I've got like 50 ships chasing after me. It's a pretty fun situation.

So my question is two parts

1: Do you guys have any doco as to how to modify the save game files as used in the classic pc version? I tried searching, I found many threads about saved games but nothing concrete (again maybe I overlooked it, if so I apologize)

2: Or, do you feel like defeating 20 incoming Ilwrath while waiting for the trader ship?  

In either case the save game is here, sorry if I put this in the wrong place
