There's a related bug where if you use the simulator first and then try it you can also move the enemies ships and star bases.

Although your game dies when you go back to system view, cheaters never prosper.

Edit : Right click to spin your ships direction when placing your ships.

More cheat codes, found a bit further down in MainStrings.txt.

`RESTOREMOVE` to give your ship full movement.
`VIEWALLDESIGNS` to see all enemy ship designs.

The scroll over text for the Upgrade button states that a design using a name such as "Attack Ship Mk I" will be upgraded with the name of "Attack Ship Mk II". I tried this and it works as it says. Cool!

*You can even use your own names and you don't even need the "Mk"; just a space and the "I" after your design name. Yes!*

How to take control of an A.I. empire and make it human-controlled:

Click the MENU button and then Players. When it asks for the Game Master Password, enter "master".
Now de-select computer control from any of the A.I. empires in the list.

When the newly player-controlled empire's turn comes up, enter "master" as the password in the login prompt.
