Hi

I am trying to change the A'Shriari Scenario to either the following:

- Leave everything as is but enable Perks & Skills + Player Class
- Make it possible to conquer all systems instead of just disabling them

I have partially accomplished both, but it leaves me with some oddities... it seems mostly that in globalVarSetup/ASHRIARI.sal this has all the impact:

globalVar $customScenarioType = 4 ; /* Alien Ashriari challenge mode */

Does anyone know if these ScenarioTypes can be changed? If yes, where? I haven't found it yet, so I believe it's hard-coded.

Changing to 2 (classic) at least makes it possible to conquer and enables economics, but the Mothership can't research afterwards, so possibly I would have to change the NewGame file to add another HQ for this purpose.

Ideally I would edit 4 (Alien scenario) or copy & assign to 5 where all the alien stuff is enabled but empire management & player class is enabled, but as mentioned, I wasn't able to find it.
