X4 is a fun game where you get to explore the universe. However, it can start a little slow, so in case you want to cheat....
Here is how to change the prices:
First, disable game compression for saved games:
Settings > Game Settings > Savegame Compression : set to OFF
Second, resave your game (note which slot, 1-10)
Third, Exit to Desktop
Open saved game, look for something like "amount=5000"
ware="something" price="2100" amount=5000 <- WRONG one!
id="[0x79]" amount="5000" <- RIGHT one!
Edit and save
Relaunch game
Load game (will still show old amount near title on load screen)
Once in game, should see correct credits/value
Go back to editor, search for "money"
Oops, that's where my notes end, except for:
