Hi,
How can I access a bit more cash to get a better ship to start with? What keystrokes.....
Thanks,
cheating...

Use a text editor on your saved game, find credits add a few zeroes.

or, if you want to be non-cheating: buy a cheaper ship!
Sounds counterintuitive, but if you buy, say a Cobra mKI, you have enough spare change to add a lot of extra's on it, lie fuelinjectors, ECM, bigger laser, etc...

Tell me that you didn't do that to make Elite!

Absolutely not. That took months
and months of playtesting.

I still haven't made Elite in Oolite. In fact, I'm still merely 'Dangerous'.

I seem to have been deadly for ages and ages and ages...
It's only by gazing wistfully at my nice Oolite mousemat that I can convince myself it is possible to make ELITE!

Thanks, Okay, now I understand....so with textedit, can mess around. So if one really wanted to have fun.ie allow a ship to have say a dozen missiles, a few energy bombs, can one do that with textedit or do I need to enter another world of manipulating.......
I have two files...one playing "normally", the other with devious improvements......
I'm still average, but won't be for long

It used to be possible,, I've recall screenshots w/ gazillions of missiles...
Ages ago, maybe in the meantime Giles has added some checksums to make that impossible, but you can always try... you can even make your laser more powerful, your ship faster etc etc, it's all scriptable stuff, and lots of it is documented in the EliteWiki,.
Before you know you are designing a whole new ship.
