I created a basic pointerscan that shows me where all of the crews attributes are stored in memory. And I've manually changed them to the values I want (from 1 to 30). I can fly around and quest with these changes staying at the values I set them to. But after exiting back out to the menu and exiting the game, when I resume my voyage, all of the stats I have changed have reverted to their original values.

The game is not saving the altered values to the saved game file. All other changes, altered money, ship upgrades, travel and quest changes are saved correctly when I exit. But the attribute changes won't stick. Has anyone else had any luck in permanently changing their attributes with CE edits?
