    type "PlanetOwnerIsMilitiaWithChance"
    param ".5"

    item "Tech:Frigate:Siege"
    item "Tech:Frigate:Siege"
    item "Tech:Frigate:AntiFighter" 
    item "Tech:Module:HangarDefense"

this is item 1... is the param the chance for this set of ships?  If I replace Tech with Psi will it be advent ships?  Frigate:Siege with Capship:Psibattle?

Yes

Yes

Frigate:Siege with Capship:Psibattle?

Those are incorrectly formatted. It has to be "Psi:Frigate:Siege" to match one of the items in the list further up in the galaxyscenariodef file.

so since there's no param, what does this mean?

The condition type doesn't have a parameter. "PlanetOwnerIsMilitia" is either true or it is false.

Is Guass a misprint for Gauss?

Yep.

Yes, you can edit the galaxyscenariodef file without breaking the game, I would point out however that if you choose to add or takeaway anything there are Counts for pretty much everything which need to be changed, in your examples above they would be the "items 4" and "items 6" lines but there are Many others, so just read the file carefully.

hmmmmmmm.... Interesting

When I messed with this part and got an empty gravitywell, it was because I added a fourth race and didn't add it as a player option, but this should have worked for you.

Currently I have a version with fifty extra things (but they all defined as frigates because it seemed to like frigates better), and it works (but it's a badly done workaround)

I can turn the module into a different module, I can add frigates, but otherwise... This must be hardcoded or something, though I'd like to hear about your workaround.
