~Privateer

Two Edit Cheats for use to kill the Steltek.


~Cheat One.

Hexedit the Steltek Drone Dead.  To do that, change 2 bytes in
your savegame.  The savegame must be with "no current missions",
though.  The byte at offset #146 is the "killed the drone" flag.
Change it from 0 to 1.  The byte at offset #119 is the "number of
Steltek drones killed" log.  Change it from 0 to 1.



~Cheat Two.

Hexedit your Centurion so it sports 4 boosted steltek guns up front.
NOTHING survives that sort of firepower.

To do this, save a game with "no current missions".  Run a hexeditor
and open that savegame file.  At about offset #485 you should find
the following 12 byte sequence:

W,E,A,P,G,U,N,S,0,0,0,20.

Immediately following will be a 20 byte sequence.
Think of it as 5 sets of 4 byte sequences.  Each 4 byte sequence
represents one of your Centurion's 5 gunports.  It should look
something like this:

2,3,0,0,2,2,0,0,6,4,0,0,6,1,0,0,6,5,0,0.

This example represents 2 plasma guns and 2 ionic cannons up front
and an ionic cannon in the tail turret.  The first byte in each 4
byte sequence represents the type of gun mounted there.  The second
byte in each 4 byte sequence represents the location on the ship.

So, to give your Centurion 4 boosted steltek guns up front, change
the 20 byte sequence to:

9,3,0,0,9,2,0,0,9,4,0,0,9,1,0,0,6,5,0,0.

Now, THAT'S firepower.


One more thing:  If you hexedit steltek guns for yourself BEFORE
visiting the derelict, the game will HANG whenever you visit a ship
repair shop UNLESS you ALSO set the "visited the derelict" flag at
offset #147.  Change it from 0 to 1 and you're good to go.
