Found another cheat code. Type `REPAIR` to instantly fix a damaged ship.

I looked around in the data files. The cheat codes are listed inside MainStrings.txt.

Code:

Im not sure if this has been mentioned but if you attack an enemy cloaked, you can first switch to the sector view and arrange your ships in position much closer to the enemy before you uncloak and the tactical round starts.

Useful for surrounding a weaker foe before it can run away or run a suicide plague mission from a frigate without giving the enemy a chance to stop it.

Edit : It's also got a seriously cool suprise attack feel to it. Bird of Prey in a Star Trek Mod could be fun.

[StarShadow]

SWEET! I never thought of trying that!

[wrongshui]

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!*
