Why would you want to cheat? it spoils the game and really hampers the longevity of the game?

Thereshallbewings doesn't give you cheats, it enables the script editor. There are lots of guides for using the editor to give yourself money or ships etc if you want to.

Cycrow does a cheat package on the Egosoft site but as said already it will most likely spoil your experience of the game.

Yeah, no cheats in this game I'm happy to say. You can make a mod I guess that cheats but YOU have to make it the devs didn't make one for you to CHEAT you cheater you. ;))

Just bear in mind that cheating in credits so you can buy whatever you want as well as cheating in the reputation in order to get access to ships/stations greatly reduces the gameplay value of X3TC.

I think using the script editor will mark your game as 'modified' so you won't get Steam achievements if you are wanting them.

Thank you to those posters who warned me that cheating "will spoil my experience of the game." It's this sort of wisdom that makes Steam forums of such value ;)

you need scripts to run with the script editor if you cant write them by yourself

In short, good luck :)
Though once you do figure out some things you will learn that it's not to bad to use as about half the work is done for you, it's (unless you're getting into the more advanced stuff) usually just knowing what to input where.

Did you ever played X-tension? It takes 40 minutes to buy your first complex and start getting your dreadnought.
X3? It takes up to 60 hours to do what you could do in X 1 in 2 hours.
This is not gameplay, that is a simple grindign feature to delay everything.
Not sure why people thing its fun to fly around for 8 hours to buy and sell goods. Even killing pirates for 8 horus straight makes no sense to me.
Therefore cheating is ok and it will improve your game experience because you do not have to wait 80 hours to get the fleet you want to have and you can finally play the game how you want.

Games are made to take time; a lot of it and if you don't have the time then maybe you should get another hobby. Cheating is for teenagers and youngans that are immature. A real grownup would never stoop to cheating in any game. That's maturity for you. Get some. :))

The fun for me is figuring out the better ways to play. It's time well spent.

Like any complex game, if you don't figure out how things _really_ work, and they are not at all obvious, you will be doomed to grinding...and that's probably the reason you would want to cheat in the first place...

I'll give an example:

If I buy ore at slightly below average price, and sell at slightly above, I made a profit...but very little trade rank.

But what if I buy meatsteaks at a very high price, and sell them at max price? I may not have made as much profit, but I made a lot of trade rank (because I sold at max price).

Why this is important is I can then use the extra trade rank to make even more credits by doing economic type missions...which also improves reputaion...which gives me access to better ships/equipment...and it snowballs from there...

cheating not needed at all.

I agree that cheating ruins the gameplay. I started a few days ago and used Cycrows cheats heavily. The game became boring and I ended up just starting over. Still, I keep the cheat script around because while cheating ruins fun, for me telling a fighter to land on my tm over and over for over 10 minutes while it just sits there and looks at me ruins fun more.
