| Gambling - Holding down the space bar when gambling
substantially improves your luck for the first three rolls.
Forklift (cheat for 1.01) - To receive the forklift,
option-click the title screen so you get the EV/MST3K theme. Wait until
""-MCB 4:35 A.M."" shows up, then hold down
control-command-option-shift-"F". You'll hear the Forklift theme song.
They'll try to kill, I'm with a forklift!. The loaded pilot file receives
the forklift.
Another nifty thing you can do is buy a Kestrel, get the
forklift and then purchase five proton blasters. This gives you a
Rapid-fire forklift!
Neutron Blaster - If you sell a secondary weapon
while it is selected as your weapon of choice, you will still be able to
use this weapon until you change secondary weapons. Apparently, there is a
special bonus when this is applied to the neutron blaster.
If you have the mass and money you should go to the
nearest planet where there is a Neutron Blaster in the outfit. Buy it, and
go out of the planet and switch to the Neutron Blaster. Now go to the
planet again and sell the weapon. Go out into space and hold down the fire
button and then you'll see that then gun has been improved ten times more
than before. Do not switch weapons if you still want to have the Neutron
Blaster remained. If you die the weapon has been terminated from your
ship. You can save if its necessary.
Mass Expansions (cheat for 1.01) - Before buying a new
ship, to create extra space with more mass expansions than are allowed,
you need to hire as many light freighters as you can. Buy a new ship and
find the nearest planet with the mass expansion upgrade. You should be
able to use all the available cargo space to expand your ship. The only
drawback is that it removes your own cargo space while you retain your
escorts.
Fighter Bays (cheat for 1.00 and 1.01) - * You can
over-stuff your fighter bays by repeatedly unloading them and then landing
and buying more. When you're done, an option-"C" will collect them all for
you. There is a natural limit involved here of some 33 ships out, after
which they start disappearing when you try to unload any more.
Planetary Defences (cheat for 1.00) - * If you own a
Kestrel, a great way to either rake in the dough or expand your fighter
capacity is to demand tribute from planets that utilise lightnings for
planetary defence. Any lightnings that are disabled can easily be boarded
and taken as tribute for your own use or resale. |
