Hacking Stellar Cartography?

from Stardock Forums
Okay. No matter what I do, I can't seem to give myself Stellar Cartography early. I edit the .tech file and change SC to a requirement of CommunicationTheory and time of 1. Not only does this double every single tech entry in the reasearch list, but once I do finish researching SC, I don't actually get it. By that I mean my galactic map doesn't hilite the yellow stars. How the heck do I level the playing field by hacking SC? It's trickier than I thought. Thanx!

Arthur, I wonder if it would be easier to make a new tech, and completely ignore the original.
