Starfury in a way gives a lot of possibilities to modders. Also it has some annoying limitations.
And I agree it's a pity that Star Trek mod died especially since I made two ships for it. Oh well, atleast The People's Mod is still going though right now I'm the only one working on it. Last week I re-wrote the entire Main_EnemyAppearances.txt and edited the Main_EnemyGroups.txt. Wasn't so quick and simple as I thought.
And the cheat codes, most of them didn't work for me either. I mainly just used the jump to another system cheat code to get fast to the other side of the quadrant. Then it got boring and I just flied around New Texas shooting everything.
