Hello fellow modding community I have a little problem regarding the modifier "FightersPerSquadron"

The goal of the modification is to automatically increase the number of fighters/bombers in the squads of a capital ship when it levels up

I did already have success with making a passive ability that does the job but I noticed that in the entity files of the capital ships there are very simple and short versions of my idea that increase for example the hull or shield points per level

For example:

MaxHullPoints
    StartValue 250.000000
    ValueIncreasePerLevel 120.000000

So I tried putting this under those lines (just as an example):

FightersPerSquadron
    StartValue 2.000000
    ValueIncreasePerLevel 2.000000
But that just resulted in the game freezing at the loading screen

I tried some different ideas but none actually worked (listing them all would be a bit too much I guess) so I finally decided to ask you guys for help because the solution with the passive ability is quite complicated and I do think it should be possible in a much simpler way

Thank you in advance and also thank you for all your guides and collections of modifiers etc. Without this forum I would´ve never been able to mod this game in the first place
