• Rename CIVILIAN_SECTOR to ORIGINAL_C_SECTOR
• Rename CRYSTAL_HOME to CIVILIAN SECTOR
• Append ORIGINAL_C_SECTOR to the CIVILIAN sectorType list.

<mod:findName type="sectorDescription" name="CIVILIAN_SECTOR">
	<mod:setAttributes name="ORIGINAL_C_SECTOR"/>
</mod:findName>

<mod:findName type="sectorDescription" name="CRYSTAL_HOME">
	<mod:setAttributes name="CIVILIAN_SECTOR"/>
</mod:findName>

<mod:findName type="sectorType" name="CIVILIAN">
	<mod-append:sector>ORIGINAL_C_SECTOR</mod-append:sector>
</mod:findName>

• overwriting CIVILIAN_SECTOR with a copy of the crystal's. No dice.
• move CIVILIAN_SECTOR after ENGI_SECTOR, to check if the game considers the first sector after FINAL as the starting sector. Nada.
• to change the string "Civilian Sector" in the CIVILIAN_SECTOR's sectorDescription. I did this to check if i could modify anything about the first sector, but the string didn't change in-game.
• Added CRYSTAL_HOME to the top of the CIVILIAN sectorType list.

Looks like it should randomly show up in the game. I can't say how to use the ship editor since I've never used it.

You have problems with your animation, specifically the chargedFrame and fireFrame. The first frame of the animation is 0, not 1, so you need to decrease the numbers on these two values by 1.

One way to see your weapon in the game is to reward it to the player at the start of the game. Create a file named events.xml.append inside the data folder and place this code in it.

<mod:findName type="event" name="START_BEACON">
	<mod-append:weapon name="FK_CANNON_1"/>
</mod:findName>

edit: Ouch, my eyes must be blind since I missed what kartoFlane says.
