These missions sometimes just say "some shady characters" or "Pirates" when it fact it is going to be Argon Military or Yaki. Did anybody try to change it to always say clearly who you are going to fight?

Surprisingly, it appeared to be only a language file change. Does anybody know if language file changes normally produce modified flags?

I would expect that loading an alternative language file would be a dead give away to whatever checks to apply the modified tag.

I thought about this. But may be Ego went paranoid and signed all different language files with all the typos to make sure they never get fixed Smile And with disabled signatures I can't test it without a major reconfiguration.
It is really surprising that nobody actually tried to change this. Am I the only one who would prefer to see who I am going to fight with? And the change seems to be vanilla-friendly... (not that I care now, but still).

Its typical of Egosoft. They never fully think out an idea.

In this case, specifying race is a logical extension of the original idea, which most likely involved a specific race and thus didnt need to be specified. Thus the facility got built for the specific use, and not for its more general use now put to.
