Hi,
I may find some free time to do a little overhaul of the units db.
Is the data contained in it stored in a db or somewhere else? where can I get it?

thanks in advance for the info.
cheers

I've wondered the same. As a front end web dev by profession, I've had a few ideas about how to improve the Unit DB, particularly for mobile use. I would also be interested in taking a crack at updating it when I have some free time.

I think he means the faforever.nxt file. It's in %programdata%\FAForever\gamedata\.
