Money cheats???

[DashW]

I am SO stuck! Are there any cheat codes to get money, or is there anywhere I can get some really fast, easy, cash with zero chance of getting killed? I've got a tiny M5 with tiny weapons, so I aint doing 2 well.

hmm, dont cheat. keep going and it will be worth it in the end. follow the plot along for a while and you will get a nice boost. but if you cheat you wont enjoy the rewards.

More scripts than you can shake a stick at.

You can ruin your game easily by downloading a cheating script that gives you as much money as you want OR

You could read some of the Sticky threads at the top of this forum for some advice and check FAQ's at fansites such as www.the-commander.com on tips as to get started.

Mine own advice is to do the plot up to mission 2, and strip and sell all the parts you get on the Express you're lent after the mission is over but before reporting in. This should net you about 400,000k which is enough to buy a decent trading ship (e.g. a Boron Manta). Then you can start doing profitable trading runs, I recommend silicon - buying at around 250 and selling at 700+.
Then you can set up a chain of factories and you're well on your way to becoming a Tycoon!

Alternatively after stripping the Express you could buy a combat ship such as the Boron Mako and go capturing pirate ships and selling them and their expensive components (e.g 25mw shields if you're lucky and skilled enough not to do too much damage) which usually ends up raking in the money faster, but is more luck based and less reliable.

Hope that helps!

What james_2k said is true.
If you do cheat, remember, easy does it.
Dont give yourself 999.999.999.999 credits. Tends to reduce the fun of the game.

Cheats dont prosper, i tried and the game crashed.
If you must cheat use the script editor in ver 1.3 the last line in the example script will give you upto 2billion credits, but wheres the fun in that, you still got to complete the game and it aint easy as you progress.

I wish people could answer questions without all the f*cking judgements.

Some of us want cheats so that we can test our mods. Not everyone wants truckloads of money just to cheat the game, and even if they do, who gives a flying rat's ass? It's their game, let them ruin it however they like.

Having to wade through everyone's moral diatribe gets old.

For folks who want a direct answer: I recommend Babyface's script - it adds a command to the menu and it's super-easy to install. Get it here:

Enjoy.

You could try doing buliten board missions??

Your M5 was practicaly made for it. Thats how I started, then I built a solar Power plant (SPP's are almost cheating anyway!!) cost almost nothing, and they make loads of money fast!

Nove I have 3 m6's, 8 novas, loads of fully armed trading ships, and 23 factories.....

After the second mission you get a TS class vessle. Use it to trade Silicon out of President's End, to nearby sectors that need Silicon. Buy a load when it goes under 300 credits, and sell somewhere that needs it for over 600 credits (preferably 270-700 if you can be patient). You can make truckloads of cash this way.

Easy, use the X2Patch09b tio edit what money amount you want, repuatation, rank, etc. It has a savegame editor in it that works with all version so far...

If not, the hex edit offset string is easy to find and change using a simple hex editor on your savegame.

Try the Betting missions (the guys who accepted a bet but need a ship) look for people offering around 15000 -> as a starting rate - i've gone up to 300k+ per run
