BETA Testing Tools - AKA Cheats

from GalCiv2 Forums
are there any beta tools that we can use to accelerate the research times, build times, change player attributries. Tools that allow one to manipulate both the player and the CPU opponents would be useful.

Thanks, sorry if this has been covered already. Just shoot the noob.

Ctrl-R instantly gives you the tech currently researched, Ctrl-M gives $10,000, Ctrl-T teleports the selected unit to the mouse cursor position (found these by accident in Beta 0.81). Some other combinations resulted in a CtD though...
Would be nice to have an "official" list.

Ctrl + A will give the ship selected, for lack of better words superpowers.

Useful when you are:

A. Nearly wiped out and needing to carry out a game

B. Experementing with combat

C. Bored
TouchTasks - Access tasks with ease on Windows touchscreens.

In addition to the above you can also edit the game data files.

Or.. edit the CurrentCustomRace.raceconfig in My Documents\My Games\GalCiv2, look for something like
< ECONOMICS >10< /ECONOMICS > or < RESEARCH >10< /RESEARCH > and pump it up to
< ECONOMICS >100000< /ECONOMICS >... You'll never go bankrupt again...

(Still, be carefull with setting research or manufacturing to high as that will make you go in the red...
