Gonna be the first! |
I've always prided myself on being a tactical genius (being modest 
)
Ok that's probably got all you're heckles up. So now on to my point - Having played the demo, but not the beta or release of SEV i'm going to be making some huge assumptions here now.
I always like to keep a few cards hidden up my sleeve, so i'm not actually going to reveal whats in my dark mind. So instead, i'm going to ask this question - which actually goes to the beta testers.
Does cloaking exist? And does it allow you to move into the same sector as enemies without initiating combat?
Be aware that any and all tactical maneuver that span from this question have already been thought of from myself, and that I'm putting my reputation on a great limb in asking that question above.
Help A n00b
How do we affect cheats? There's lots of things I want to tinker with.

Hit the ` key, type ALLTECH,
Hit the ` key, type ALLTECH, hit the ` key again.
MONEY also works. I haven't tested any others.

Galaxy Map
Is there a way to generate a new galaxy map setup with out going to trouble of starting a new game?
In Galactic Civilizations , you can use Ctrl-N will restart the galaxy map without you having to redo all the steps before you press Begin.
In the full game, yes.
There's a "generate map" button on the setup screen that will let you create a new map. You can't peek at the actual systems though, and that button is NOT available in the demo.
Startng Points
You can also choose starting points for players in the full version as well.

Some of you old boys might have read the above, and i've finally had chance to test the theory thats been cooking in the dark recesses of my mind.
You're gonna love this nasty piece of strategy, and since it's not been posted on the board yet i'm gonna claim credit for it.
MM in there wisdom have allowed ship placement in a sector, meaning that if an attack comes to a stalemate you've got the opportunity to move your ships into a better position and re-intiate combat.
What i'm getting at regards the above question...
Does cloaking exist? And does it allow you to move into the same sector as enemies without initiating combat?
MM have introduced true suprise decloaking attacks!!! You cloak a ship, move to an adjacent sector of an enemy and then attack. Because you're cloaked you don't attack, but you do move into the same sector. Then you can place ships within the sector...voila, move your fleet and surround the enemy and when you start combat...BOOM! Finally making short range high damage weapons effective as well like the ripper beam.

Cloaking does exist. Whether
Cloaking does exist. Whether or not it works, I don't know. You could try using the ALLTECH cheat and designing a ship with a cloaking device.
