How to change race name?

This may be a stupid question, and it may be on a different topic, however I have not managed to find it. So, I was wondering how to change the race names i.e. Engi ---> Dalek (for my mod) etc. By this I don't mean starting name (that you can rename in hangar) but the actual defining race name
Cheers

You'll have to copy the Engi race data from the Blueprints.xml (or from here), paste it in your Blueprints.xml.append, then change the title and the short like I changed it to cheese and you may change other things as well here:
Code: Select all
<crewBlueprint name="engi">
<desc>It's unclear if the 'Cheese' are partly organic or entirely soda, but it's well known that they make exceptional cows.</desc>
<cost>50</cost>
<bp>2</bp>
<title>Cheese</title>
<short>Cheese</short>
<rarity>2</rarity>
<powerList>
<power>Repair speed is doubled</power>
<power>Combat damage inflicted is halved</power>
</powerList>
</crewBlueprint>

Did you copy the original or did you copy my example? Try adding 4 spaces to the second description line.
