How did you cheat with the hex editor? I'm assuming you opened up your saved games and changed values... What did you change? I've poked around a bit, and haven't seen anything recognizable. Just curious, thanks.

i've tryed it in version 0.5.0 but think that it might not work but I might have done it incorrectly...
do you know about the lander bug???
before you goto the orbital platform (space station), when you first start the game, goto jupiters first moon and get some radioactives... then go back to earth and land on the moon and check the luna base.. then goto the orbital platform again... tak to the guy with the t-shirt and give him the radioactives you got.. you'll get inturupted by an ilwrath guy who is an easy kill as those of us who have played the game know.. finish talking to him, you can ask him about specific details about things and what not if you would like but you don't have to...then before you exit the station goto the shipyard... go upto your land and sell it holding enter and you will all the sudden get infinite landers to sell... giving you more than enough money to finish the game... get as much as you need but you problebly don't need kore than 100k RU or so you can stop after a while...
as I said I have tried to confirm this on 0.5.0 but haven't done it successfully do they might have worked out the bug... but you can try it if you'd like.... it worked on the old pc version...

You know, maybe they could add some sort of console and let you cheat, but I wouldn't want it. I discovered ages ago that beating a game, even on the easiest setting, was way more satisfying than cheating and walking through it. I couldn't tell you why.
Trust me, it's not THAT hard having to mine a few planets. And it's not THAT hard beating the Ai in melee. (Infact it's pretty easy.) This isn't one of those shinobi-level difficult games that are so hard on easy that set on difficult mode your friends will pay the price. I don't like those games. I don't care if the Ai plays like a retard. A lobodimized retard, even better. Because I want to beat the game, but I don't want to cheat.

what i would really like is a difficulty setting that makes your enemies a bit smarter during melee, i mean i can defeat a kohr-ah pretty easily with an earthling cruiser if i do a gravity whip before it damages me (this is even in super melee with the difficulty turned up). And i reject using the spathi cause then melee gets a little TOO easy.
Improving the AI would, IMHO, be the best way to make the game harder without changing the plot at all. Currently, the AI likes to chase the player, which gives the player a huge advantage in range. This makes the Spathi Eluder the ultimate Ur-Quan killer, as it can run away and lob torpedos at pursuers. Now, imagine the computer Dreadnoughts standing still or moving unpredictably. The Dreadnought's fusion blast has a longer range than anything the Eluder has (although it lacks the tracking), forcing the Eluder to move within range to do anything at all to the Dreadnought (which could launch fighters to further complicate matters for the Eluder pilot).
The way I see it, the AI could be improved by giving it a few more tactics (e.g. retreating, pillboxing and gravity whipping) and the ability to switch tactics unpredictably and when the tactic it is using doesn't seem to work. When trying to hit fast-moving ships, it could also be advantageous for the computer to add a small random component to its aim if the enemy is consistently dodging incoming shots.
oh and i want an 'Ur-Quan Checkup' system, where the ur-quan appear in the sol system after a period of time. Or you could have a "low profile" difficulty, EXAMPLE, if you fly through an enemy races territory and get in a bunch of melee battles with them, either that race or the ur-quan goto sol and guard the space station till you come back and then you have to confront them on a harder difficulty during that one melee battle.
This sounds interesting, too.

See, improving the Ai is exactly what I don't want. That's what I was talking about. I enjoy beating the computer. I've played games where the computer plays a "perfect" game that will beat you every time and it only serves to lessen my love of the game. So I go the other way. I want a stupid Ai. In man vs machine I want to know man will always win. If I want to lose that's what PvP is for. Which is why I don't PvP anything. I like to win. I like to know I'm going to win.
