Hex code Game editing

I started replaying Freespace (still cool), and my recollection (from having done it successfully) is that there is a way using a hex code editor (AXE was the editor at the time but there are obviously different ones now) to change the .plr file so as to alter one's ship and weapons so that you can arm your ship any way you wish--such as with a Shivan super laser, and virtually fly any ship in the game. The message gave the ship types in hex code and where the primary, secondary weapons were located (and of course the codes for them)

Anyone recall these codes? Thanks.

My recollection is that is about two thirds through the file, and was somewhere (I think in this area (0x690) (each game changed slightly)
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF020000000500000001

I don`t know about hex editing but you can do that using Fred and Table editing. It's probably easier too.

I hate to ruin your fun but that's a lot of trouble for nothing - Volition built cheat codes into the game that allow you to arm your craft with any weapon in the game. They're linked on FSWs main page navbar.
