There are a lot of utilities around to assist with making or modifying ships.

If you want to change meshes, the mesher utility can change mesh files into a standard 3d format.

units.csv holds all unit information. It can be edited with a standard CSV editor like OpenOffice (Microsoft Office has some bugs that apparently truncate some cells, or so I have heard.)

There's also lots of programming work that can be done. In the realm of C++, there's networking support that still needs improvement from someone familiar with C++. There are also python modules that can be improved. I believe there's some java code for campaign editors too.

Maybe you could be more specific about what sort of projects or modifications you are interested in?

Modification of what? The art? The game stats? Your own ship?

Different bits need different advice

@ShlizamelHyena the simple one hack your cash just open your save game file with a text editor (wordpad,gedit,kwrite) your bank balance is the number between "^" at the beginning of the file.hacking ship stats is a bit trickier the relevant files are csv and kinda tedious to work with.
