so far i was able to

break starport delivery,once delivered tanks never arrived :D whole deliveries got disabled.

starport purchase prices skyrocketted making purchase very expensive

disabling repairing for structures

multiple crates on skirmish/practice

harvested spice value increased/decreased. spice value buffed by 1.5x was able to debuff it so harvesting was almost worthless.

negative prices in starport purchasing  (game crash btw)

A few of those things can be done with the mission editor (even the one included in gruntmods, although it is a really old version).
I did a campaign where the spice it's 2.5 more valuable, with the excuse of being "the most pure concentration of spice", 2 refs it's enough for the first 10 minutes of the game.

The starport prices also I altered, but never increasing the cost (withouth increasing the cost of the units), but for one mission units may apply a 75% max of discount, which means you can build combat tanks for around 150-200 credits each one.

it can be alterede the time the order takes to reach, I also had missiosn where the frigate only takes 20 seconds (instead a whole minute) to reach you, I never tried to increas, but I bet it works too.

Aye. Hey, if you want to get your up-to-date editor and see other stuff we've already cracked, check Klofkac's thread over here:

We found plenty of neat new stuff. :P
