Edit src/sc2code/ships/zoqfot/zoqfot.c in the source code (with your favourite text editor) and recompile (with e.g. GCC). See INSTALL in source package for exact compilation requirements.

What OS, GCC variant and version of UQM are you using, exactly? The compilation instructions are in INSTALL, right in the root of the UQM source tree (module sc2 in CVS, directory uqm-0.5.0 in the official v0.5 sources).
If you're on Windows, try using the following instructions for compiling UQM with MinGW.

Hey! Ship settings were in an external text file in the PC version. I know because I used it to increase the rate of fire of Terran missle cruisers.

Hey! Ship settings were in an external text file in the PC version. I know because I used it to increase the rate of fire of Terran missle cruisers.
All that went waaay over my head, too many programs to install and not enough simple prompts  I'm wondering if anyone can do it for me :/
Another typical Windows problem is that everything is wrapped in those pesky graphical user interfaces, making it almost impossible to write scripts to automate stuff.
Why do you think most of the UQM devs are using Linux (or Mac)? In SuSE Linux, the corresponding installation instructions are more like "Open the software installation tool in YaST, check the devel versions of the libraries mentioned in the requirements and hit OK" or "As root, execute 'yast2 -i xorg-x11-Mesa-devel gcc make pkgconfig SDL-devel SDL_image-devel libmikmod Mesa libvorbis-devel libogg-devel zlib-devel'". Gentoo users probably can't install a game without getting everything they need to modify it. 
In any case, I might as well look into putting together some sort of snapshot of the installed MinGW system. That could be tough; like most Windows programs, MinGW uses registry entries that are a bit hard to find and transfer.

Edit: apparently McMartin's primary platform isn't Windows anymore these days either.
Probably not, as he's been happily committing stuff that breaks badly on Windows (seeking to arbitrary positions in a text stream is fine on Unix, where text and binary is the same, but is not required by ANSI C as far as I can tell).
Sure, setting up the compiler and libs is just a small problem if you intend to use it a lot, but it's still several hours of work for something that should be a five-minute exercise, and you have to repeat it whenever you upgrade libraries, compilers or whatever or want to work on a different machine.
Also, an active contributor to one project is quite likely (in my experience) to do the occasional recompile of something else with different requirements. Being able to set up everything you need to recompile almost any program you have with a few clicks/commands is, IMHO, very useful.

As for the C standard (ISO C'99, not ANSI C), it allows fseek()ing on binary files, as long as you only seek with offset 0, or with an offset acquired through ftell() with SEEK_SET.
