What type of data Avorion save files use?

[gornyakmaniac]

I'm server admin, and today one of players got in trouble - his client crashed after he jumped new sector, and now his client crashes every time he tries to join server. He asked me to save his ship and repair bugged sector instead of wipe it (it helps in cases like that). But I don't know how to open Avorion save files to edit it - these aren't binary files, but also not MySQL databases.

 

Maybe smb knows how to open save file, or to save ship from bugged sector?
