Star Trek: Starship Creator Cheats

Better Parts
If you play under the difficulty level of "advanced", you will have a wider selection of parts for each vessel you decide to use. For instance, the Defiant class ship's original defense mechanisms only included a navigational deflector and shields. With an advanced playing level, you are also granted the use of ablative armor and a cloaking device. Also, when you pick your class of ship, the hull mainframes will be empty. This gives you room for modifications.

Big Bucks in Seconds
Go to any of the difficulty levels,and then go to the "Fleet" screen, and select a fully loaded ship(must have 2 torpedo launchers and all types of probes, best to use a Galaxy, Intrepid or Excelsior class ship). Go to the select mission window and select the mission "Test Launch a Probe and Collect Data" Once in the simulator select, from the control bar to the right of the screen, Accelerate. It will take around 10-15 seconds to complete the mission.
