I found a small cheat for 688(i) Hunter/killer.
If you open the player.db file a hex editor, you can edit your points. Go down to
offset 2544, then enter the value 286B. This
will give you about 27,400 points to start your captain with. It should give you all of
the possible sub improvements and leave
about 7000pts. to put into your crew.
This can be done before you begin your first mission. All you have to do is create a
captain, and then exit the game without
choosing a mission.
You can use the cheat again after your first mission to get another 27,400 pts. but you
will only be able to use about 5000 to
max out your sub and crew.
I haven't been able to figure out how to get rid of negative point values for screwing
up a mission but when I do I'll let you
know.
I don't have any programming knowledge and just started experimenting with a hex editor
about a month ago so it may be a
while before I get results.
I hope this is useful to you. If not, I'm sorry to have wasted your time.
