Hack Request - Disable Auto-Generated Stats on Equipment

I’ve seen plugins and hacks that give auto-generated stats to equipment without any, such as engines, scanners, tractor beams and powerplants. I’d like to do the opposite, disabling the auto-generated stats for Shields, Weapons and Thrusters so I can put in my own statistics like “Speed: Fast” or “Power: Low” instead of “Speed: 750m/s” or “Power: 4500.”

Since certain guns might vary slightly in the damage they deal, players would probably go for the higher damage one. Whereas hiding the amount of damage both guns do behind a statistic like “Damage: High” means players can’t see the exact difference between the two and will be more likely to use the weaker gun assuming they don’t use something like FLCompanion.
Another reason for this is that minor balance changes could be made without causing players to start raging if their equipment gets nerfed.

Can it be done?

The seperate infocards idea makes sense having edited them for ships, though I don’t understand the string version. Does it allow for some infocards to be dynamic and others to be static, or is it something different entirely?

Thanks, that seems to be exactly what I’m looking for! I’m a bit confused by the code, though.

0x840B3 doesn’t sound like an offset to me and Hexplorer can’t find it. What is it and how can I find it?
