Re: AI Anger Data File
Changing data files and then reloading an old game is tricky. The game seems to use tables built on-the-fly when it loads the data files, so changing tech levels or components can make things "shift" and produce very weird results like armor components replacing engines in a ship design or something like that. Small changes to the abilities of components (weapon damage, shield strength, cargo storage) don't seem to be a problem, but changes in cost or size usually will be. I think you can change the AI files without the game getting screwed up, but many of the changes won't have an effect on an existing game. It's generally better to start a new game when you change the data files.
