Hello. As some of you may remember I previously made a save game editor for UQM in this thread:
http://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=4672.0
But unfortunately you could not edit the fleet ships nor the items with that editor. I have now made another editor that instead of modifying save games works directly against the UQM process changing the process memory.
With this editor you can change the ships in your fleet. EDIT: And also the devices.
Instructions:
1. Start UQM and load a save game
2. Hit read
3. Make your changes
4. Hit write
5. Save the game and then reload it
X. The "New Save" button should be pressed before loading a new save game (when at the save game selection screen). If you are reloading a save game you just saved or loading a save game for the first time since you started UQM it's not necessary. Strictly speaking it isn't a must to use this button. If you don't you may see ships in the list that are remnants of earlier saves (but those can be safely ignored).
Issues:
1. You can only edit ships, not add ships. Because of this I recommend starting with a full setup of ships.
2. I wouldn't mess with the date too much. It seems to have negative consequences when it comes to events being triggered. (This may be a problem if the date has changed before hitting read and hitting write. Perhaps this functionality is unnecessary and disruptive.)
3. You can't edit items even though it should be possible using this technique. I haven't been able to figure out where the items are stored in the memory yet. But hopefully this functionality will be added.

Feel free to leave comments and feedback.

Niiice!
It's fun to fight Kzer-Za with Marauders and Kohr-Ah with Dreadnoughts.
Date ajusting is also useful. I passed the game 2 times, but I've destroyed the Sa-Matra in late 2158 both times.
Now I'll have a chance to see Death March in action for my first time.
And without playng through the whole game again and waiting until 2159 comes. (I don't have saves anymore)
I've also noticed that there are some conflicts; no ships will appear in HyperSpace if date is changed.

Too bad Broodhome and X-Form aren't avaliable.
I suppose they would cause the same crash the Ur-Quan probe/Sa-Matra does since they don't appear anywhere in campaign, only in SuperMelee.

Other than the travelling graphics, you only use the escort ships for mellee, and in that part they are present. I don't think the mellee is different between the stand-alone and the adventure.

I was doing some experiments and I found that when fighting the Sa-Matra you can choose the Sa-Matra/probe ship without it crashing immediately. However it will crash if you fire your weapon.
I also found that if you select a VUX ship to fight the Sa-Matra the game will freeze. Maybe because of the target finding for the limpets?
