Folks, this is a technical question related to server administration of the discovery mod. It's got little to do with what happens on the GC server.

It is possible to edit a small number infocards on the server. These changes will be sent to clients when they connect to your server.
To do this see the dsacesrv.cfg file. You need to be using the dsacesrv.dll.
You can edit the infocards for any item. Note that dsy_license_pf01 to dsy_license_pf20 are reserved for player factions and are possibly the easiest to edit but anything can be edited.
To edit an infocard you need to know its IDS number. Find either FLInfocardIE or FLDev or search in the DATA\EQUIPMENT ini files for entries starting with dsy_license_ and look for ids_info and ids_name.
Once you have the IDS number of the item you want to edit, add a line to the bottom of the dsacesrv.cfg file in the form:
<IDS number>=<new infocard text>
The infocard text may have to be in Freelancer xml markup. Look at other infocards for an example of this.
You'll probably also want to edit the techcompat.cfg to adjust the ID-powerplant recharge rates.
