This is a list of known bugs/cheats that have been used by players in Stellar Frontier in the (recent) past, in current game versions. We do not publish how to use these bugs/cheats because we do not wish the game to become a bugging/cheating 'paradise'. We provide this list of bugs/cheats and their characteristics so that players who encounter a player who is doing things that should not be normally possible can recognize that that player may be using a known bug/cheat and report that player's behavior accordingly.
All bugs below (except for #3) are deemed extremely lame by most players, so please do not use them (except for #3) even if you learn how to!
- User-activated DEV hack allows anyone with the 'activation sequence' to obtain DEV powers in a server.
- F9 bug/cheat allows rapid and near infinite firing of grenades, mines, BigOnes, or other weapons that normally have limited ammo and/or require a lot of power to fire.
- Version 1.2 rc5 offers two popular 'bugs': easy 'Q-parking', and ability to resync while in Q space.
- Boost bug allows constant boost-less travel (that won't "run out" of boost power) at very high speeds (in excess of what maximum boost can normally achieve).
- Similar but less widely-known bugs allow constant power, infinite weapons, etc.
- A mysterious/unpredictable bug in the game occasionally allows some people to stay cloaked indefinitely.
- Crew size cheat allows smaller ships to have crew levels in excess of what they normally have.
- Volume bug/cheat allows ships to be "over-full," i.e. it allows ships to be equipped so that more than 100% of the ship's volume is used.
- Invulnerability
- Warp while controls disabled
