Before posting, please do the bare minimum of due diligence and learn how the game's file structure work.
You need to unpack game files if you wish to modify them.

The folder you are looking for is located here (base game ships):

Code: Select all

\assets\units\size_s
and here (for DLC)

Code: Select all

\extensions\ego_dlc_[DLC NAME]\assets\units\size_s
Keep in mind that Modding Ressource for S-Class Turrets are exactly that - a resource for modders and prerequisite for mods that use them. Adding them to your game files does nothing, you still need a custom ship to use them. Instructions on the modpage are meant for the modders making new ships, you, as an end user tdo not need to mess in .xml files.
Boron Regal Barracuda - Heavy Fighter, on the other hand, is just a normal, standalone mod. Install both the mod and prerequisite as any other mod and it will work.
