I want to get rid of level requirements in open single player

And lowering the values in DATA\MISSIONS\ptough.ini will do also.
Has anyone played with the rankdiff.ini values and found out what they do exactly?
Not the quick easy obvious answer please!

Yes, it effects the number of NPC ships in “x” lvl difficulty of mission.
You can totally jack up the linear progression of difficulty in your missions up if you do not have a methodical way of assigning each number. This linear progression of difficulty is also dependent upon the npc loadout setup for each npc rank. As reference, I’d suggest looking at the way I’ve set up the npc loadouts and then look at the way I’ve adjusted the NPCRanktoDiff.ini in the SWWT mod.
Note: I’ve seen no more than 8 ships per wave attack at once, and no less than 3. I tried to get solo battleships to spawn (using the D20-D25 ranks) but can only get them to spawn in groups of 3. I was going to experiment adding more entries to obtain more ships per wave but never got around to it. IF you do decide to do this, please let me know the results.
