HexCheat:
---------
Using a hex editor, look for offset ...018.
The hex number is set up in the standard savegame
way, with two digits in pairs from lowest to higest
place (i.e., if you have 6000 credits, that`s 1770 in
hexidecimal, and that would be laid out like this
" 70 17 00" .. etc.).
Then, you can overwrite this offset and modify the
amount of credits you have.
If you use FF FF, this translates into 65,535 credits.

Hints:
------
Use the slide function to get bogies off your tail or
put some distance between you and cap ships while keeping
them targeted. Hold down Q or the fourth joystick button
to point your nose any direction while continuing on your
original vector. It also helps make faster turns.
Reverse course rapidly with reverse thrusters (Z) and
reverse afterburners (Tab-Z). These are very tricky to
use, because they function much faster than similar
features on other sims. A quick reverse is another way
to shake a bogey off your tail and wind up on his in the
blink of an eye. A combination of slide and reverse
afterburners can be lethal once mastered.
Don`t dismiss the Chatter Cannon just because it uses
projectiles. It can punch holes in armor quicker than a
laser. Used in combination with a beam weapon (to bring down
shields), it can take out a bogey pretty quickly.
Take some time to learn the Solaris Torpedo when it becomes
available: it`s tricky but worth it. The Solaris drains power
from the ship to pump up the strength of its warhead.
The longer you hold the trigger before releasing, the more
power it gets, but the more drain it puts on engines and
shields. Because it`s also unguided, it`s hard to use in
fast, close dogfights, but it`s powerful against larger
ships and capital ship subsystems.
