go to here:
C:/Progam Files/Stardock Games/Sins of a Solar Empire/Galaxy/filenamehere.galaxy (Open the file you want to edit with notepad or the equivalent)
I recommend making a copy of the .galaxy file so that you can still have the old files.
Hope this helps you

I tried doing it even before i posted and whenever i checked the game, it still had the default amounts. I run v1.05, does this have anything to do with it? I also have player setup using my name. Is is this a possible reason too?
