[Q] Create a new unit as copy of one already existing (ie Auxiliary)?

[OrangeSoda]

So far I've used the PackfileManager to change stats/prices/Faction accessibility, what I'm trying to do now is create a new unit with identical values to one that already exists. The purpose being to create additional "Auxiliary" units which are essentially just copies of vanilla units.

Is there some express way of doing this in PackfileManager, so that I could subsequently go through and just change the name/permissions for the Copy unit?

Thanks

Use this as a base.

Thanks, that first link was exactly what I needed to know.

Now when I download a unit Pack that adds a "Super Awesome Heavy Cavalry Unit with lasers" that I'll have no chance of seeing because I don't play the right faction, I can just address the issue by adding "Auxiliary Super Awesome Heavy Cavalry Unit with lasers" to all factions, with a regional requirement.
