Get 4000 Prestige Points

------------------------

When Playing a mission (any mission), do an alpha strike on 

the Aft right shield, but DO NOT DESTROY IT COMPLETELY - It 

may take a couple of tries not to do this. 

If you destroy it this will not work. Then fire a photon 

into the front left shield. Then hit ctrl + f4 and it will 

give you 4000 prestige points!

 

To increase your prestige in the campaign game go to the 

Spacedock and sell all of your missiles. Then select the 

slowest missile engine and buy x4 for a cost of 1) then x3 

(at -1, giving you your prestige point back), then x2 

(for another -1) then standard (for another -1). Go back 

to x4 and repeat, going for as much prestige as you need. 

This will not affect your career prestige for gaining rank, 

but it does allow you to purchase that much needed upgrade.

 

-All the starships configuration data 

(weapons, shields, engines, ect.) is stored 

in a delimited text file which can be accessed 

by excel. The file is called "sfbspc13.txt" and 

it is located in "assets\specs\sfbspc13.txt" in 

the main directory of the game. By modifying these 

fields you can make any ship have all sorts of features.

 

Add cloaking ability.

Modify engine power levels.

Add shuttles and fighters.

Add/change weapons.

Modify shield levels.

Add more transporters, troops, mines, ect.

...and much more.

 

Be sure to save the original file in a safe place before 

modifying it so you can return to your original 

configuration. You will also need to remove the read only 

attribute from the file. When playing multiplayer all 

players must have the same file (modified or not) in order 

to play. 

 

Here are some hints on modifying the "sfbspc13.txt" file. 

 

1. The highest I have tested the engine output to is 120 

each. I know that Federation ships can't seem to go over 

150 each but other races ships might be able to go higher. 

Engine values are located in the following areas: R_L_Warp, 

C_Warp, Impulse, Apr, Battery. 

 

2. Shields can be modified to very high values for 

Federation ships (2000) but Klingon ships don't seem to 

be able to reach as high. Shield values are located in 

the following areas: 

Shield 1, Shield 2_6, Shield 3_5, Shield 4, Shield Total. 

Shields cover each ship on 6 sides. Therefore the values 

in Shield 2_6 & Shield 3_5 each represent 2 sides of the 

ship. The value you place in Shield Total = (shield 1) + 

((shield2_6) x 2) + ((shield3_5) x 2) + (shield4). 

 

3. Weapons can be changed to any type within an existing 

group. You can also change the number of weapons (up to 4) 

within an existing group (missiles can accept higher values 

but I do not know where the breaking point is on these). 

You can't add new groups of weapons. You can only modify 

the existing weapon hardpoints. Weapons are arranged in 

these areas: heavy weapon (photons, rockets, plasma, ect) 

and weapon (phasers, disrupters, ect). Weapon arcs vary 

but I do know that if you put the value ALL as an arc, 

the weapon will fire from any angle. 

 

4. Cloaking is very easy to add to any ship. Just go to 

the area that reads "Cloak num" and place a value for how 

much energy you want is to cost to run the cloak. 

 

5. Shuttles are defined as base and max values. The base 

value is the max value divided by 3. I have successfully 

made the max value of all the different types of shuttles 

30 and the base value 10 which allowed me to purchase 

quantities of 10, 20, or 30 shuttles of each type while 

in spacedock during the game. By changing the "launch rate" 

value you can define how many shuttles can launch before 

the ship needs to recharge itself for more launches. If 

you want to add fighters to any ships just find the area 

that says fighter bay 1 thru 4 and place the value of 6 

(higher than 6 will cause game to crash) in each one of 

the areas and you will have 4 fighter groups made up of 

6 fighters each! 

 

6. Movement is defined in the "turn mode" and "move cost" 

areas. The best "turn mode" value is AA. This will give 

you a very agile ship. Move cost defines how much energy 

is used for movement. The best value I have seen for this 

is .25. 

 

 

Prestige Cheat

--------------

Firstly start a campaign game, any race & era will do. 

If playing as a federation late era, you will start with 

an "F-FF" frigate. Then save the game & exit to windows.

(Any ship will do as long you remember the ship class.) 

 

Open the file called "sfbspc13.txt" and it is located 

in "assets\specs\sfbspc13.txt" in the main directory of 

the game using Excel. Look for "BPV". At the "F-FF" "BPV" 

value change to 1000 or higher. Save then return to game. 

 

Load game then go to Shipyard menu. You will notice the 

trade in value of your ship is high. Trade in your ship, 

big or small your choice and in return you will also get 

an extra prestige from the balance. You can repeat over 

and over again. 



-Cheat Method

Use Microsoft Excel to open the file :

"C:\namedir\assets\spec\shiplist.txt". 

Modify the settings as you like and save the file. 

Be sure to make a backup before overwriting.

GameTips 

-------- 

 

Know your weapon ranges:

------------------------

Know your weapon ranges! Don't close in on an enemy who 

hits harder than you at close range.

 

Capture, capture, capture: 

--------------------------

Capture, capture, capture. Grabbing a couple of frigates 

from the enemy at the start of a scenario can save you 

grief later. Keep your ship loaded with Marines during 

your starbase visits.
