I have been wanting to make the jet on the rocket ship shoot faster so i can fly faster. Where would i type in the numbers to change it. My only modding experiance is messing around with the number in the ammo file and the guns in the devices file.

Base.rte/Effects/Pyro/Pyro.ini, scroll down to "Main Thruster Blast Ball", give it a higher mass. Higher mass, equal and opposite reaction, more thrust, etc, etc.

Thanks for the tip. Now with my new powerful rocket my ship seems to crash and die more. How would i modify its health?

Base.rte/Actors/Rockets/Rockets.ini.

Scroll down to the last clump of code, there should be a line titled "Health". Make it whatever you want.

Also, look around for a line called "ImpulseDamageThreshold". This determines how much force a rocket can absorb before being damaged. I believe the default is 1500, 2500 or so oughta work.
