Note: This cheat involves editing a game file so make a backup copy of the file before going on. Now use a text editor to edit the "perfoptions.ini" file in the game folder. Then change the "DIFFICULTY_SCALE = 1.00" line to "DIFFICULTY_SCALE = 0.00".

Hints & Tips

Easy money
Hang around in the debris fields and use turret mode, etc. to shoot the floating canisters. Haul in the scrap metal, and sell it at Baltimore Shipyards, if you can. You will get about 20 credits per piece of scrap metal, and you can get easier money this way, if you do not mind the wait.

Profitable trade routes
At the start of the game, while your still in Liberty, you can find a profitable trade route between Planet Manhattan and Planet Pittsburgh. Fill up on Pharmaceuticals at Manhattan, then sell them at Pittsburgh. Now fill up on Boron at Pittsburgh and sell them at Manhattan. Keep on doing this to easily get enough money to upgrade your ship to a Rhyno. You can earn close to 5,000 credits for the round trip.

If you are patient, attempt this trade route. Purchase Gate/Lane parts at Trenton Outpost in New York. Then take this to Holman Outpost in the Tau 31 system and sell it. Then, buy Niobium at Holman Outpost and take this to Planet Manhattan. Now sell it, then return to Trenton Outpost and repeat. A HumpBack freighter can earn you 347,500 credits in one round trip. If you prefer to keep a Heavy Fighter, you can earn 97,300 credits in just one round trip.

Finding secret bases and jump holes
When you are searching for hidden jump holes to other systems, turn on your Nav Map, then select the "Show Patrols" map. The lines that appear will show popular paths that the AI ships use. Any path that stretches out beyond the normal trade-lane traffic of a star system will lead to a secret starport or even a hidden jump hole. Now fly out to where the line leads to and turn on the "Solars" option on your targeting computer. You will normally find a place of interest. In places with reduced sensor ranges you will have to rely on visually looking for something. Also, to find every path, make sure to look at the "neutral", "hostile" and "friendly" paths in the patrol paths map. Be careful of stumbling upon an enemy's base.

Easier battles
For a little easier battles when your attacking, select a hostile ship as your target then ignore that ship. Now focus instead on the other hostiles but do not select them as a target. Even though they are not selected you will still be given the blindfire marker, it will be smaller. At times an untargeted hostile will sit there, waiting to be shot. Other times, it will stay on a straight course and will not maneuver much. The AI will in time catch on to you and will alter its methods or will send in more ships. Also, you will not be able to use missiles.

If you are in a tight battle, with little nanobots, use the afterburners as much as you can easily outrun the missiles and mines. Just be careful, as you can crash easily. Now use first-person view to avoid debris.

Finding bases and jumps
In order to find the precise location of the bases/jumps, check your patrol path map. For bases, find the spot where two or more lines intersect. Jump holes will normally either have several lines intersecting, or a single line ending abruptly. If there is a break in a trade lane, there is likely a base there.

Backwards landing intermission sequence
In order to get an intermission sequence featuring you landing on a planet backwards or sideways, move between the docking rings "pincers" and stop. Now turn so that you are facing away from the planet. Now dock with the docking ring. You will have an intermission sequence with you landing backwards. Note: This will only work with planets.

Jump holes
