Cheat mode: Note: This procedure involves editing a game file;
create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text
editor to edit the "sfbspc13.txt" file in the "assets\specs\"
sub-directory. The following changes can be done: add cloaking
ability, change engine power levels, add shuttles and fighters,
change weapons, change shield levels, add more transporters, troops,
mines, and more. Note: When playing a game in multi-player mode,
all players must use an identical "sfbspc13.txt" file.
Hint: Defeating Klingons: When fighting a Klingon vessel, get behind it and order
your helm officer to follow it. Wait until all your weapons are
charged, then fire. Repeat this until it is destroyed. David Fulero.
Hint: Defeating Lyrans: Keep your distance. The Lyran special is the Expanding
Sphere generator. If you get too close when it is active, it will
hit and you will be badly damaged. It will also destroy any fighters,
shuttles, and missiles in its range. David Fulero.
Hint: Defeating Romulans: When they cloak get up close, fire off as many weapons
as possible. When they start to decloak, run. Then, go back and
do it again once they cloak. David Fulero.
Hint: Prevent ships from cloaking: If a ship keep cloaking and you cannot seem to kill
it, use your tractor beam. The ship can no longer cloak. Basil_Underwood.
