Entity Inventory editing

[Tunk]

Started a investigation on this for a project I'm working on, from dumping the database structure it appears inventories aren't stored there.

Which indicates to me that inventories are stored in the entity files, so I would like to ask,
How safe is it to modify a live entity file and if not are there any alternatives to modify a non-player inventory live from the server side of things?

If there is no safe method for a live edit I'll go drop this in suggestions.

The stuff in the starting inventory is under the GameConfig file if I remember right.

Talking about inventories on ships, stations, planets, and asteroids.
If there is no easy way to modify them I'll just soft unload the entities if loaded and modify the entity files directly.

I would say that's probably not safe at all. Due to threading concerns and race conditions with the server.
