Make a fully utilize of the MST (stealth and sniper),
kill all brainbug first before you make an attack.
Whatever you do, make sure the brainbug is dead, else
the worrior bugs will track you where ever you go !
Do Not jump if the hoppers is above you! Always do the
formation if you encounter the hoppers
How to use the novabomb - click at the novabomb and
click on the ground (where you want to place it)
Sometimes you cannot ambush the bughole if the is many
worriorbugs petroling around. Use the sniper and shoot
at the bughole (some of the bughole can be shoot !!)
Extra experience:
-----------------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a
backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor
to edit the "st_db_attr" file in the "stta\units" folder.Change
this portion of line 26 from "1 0 0 15 0 0 1" to "1 0 0 200 0 0 1".
Extra equipment:
----------------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup
copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the
"interface.txt" files in the "mission" folder. Change the various
equipment values from 3 to 12 or 18. The values in all the files must
be changed for each mission.
Extra storage depot ammunition:
-------------------------------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup
copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the
"st_db_attr" file in the "stta\units" folder. Change the "10000" in
position 6 of line 29 to "100000".
Unlock weapons and tech soldiers:
---------------------------------
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup
copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the
"interface.txt" file in the "mission" folder. Locate the "Excluded"
heading in the file and remove all the lines in that area. This will
unlock all the weapons and all the tech soldiers (MIST, psychic) in
that particular mission. 1
Gain More Experience:
---------------------
To have your troopers gain more experience after each
battle, go to the "stta\units" directory and open the
st_db_attr file in notepad. Go to line 26. It should
start out as:
26 1 0 0 15 0 0 1...
Change this line to
26 1 0 0 200 0 0 1...
You can try other values besides 200 to tweak the
experience growth of your troopers.
Early Weapon Availability:
--------------------------
Just go to Starship Troopers directory and then the mission
directory. Go to the mission directory and look for the
interface.txt files, open the file and you should see a
whole bunch of items in the "Excluded" area, just delete
all these lines. Do this for each interface.txt file and
you'll get all the weapons and all the tech soldiers (MIST,
psychic) before they would have been given in the actual game.
After making it to the last level you can't get through cause
the Royal Warrior Bugs don't let you? Heres a cheat that will
get the job done.
Enter the Missions folder that you can find in the main directory.
Look for another folder named " c3m7 ". Open it and you will see
a score of text file in a sequential order from
" bh_1_1" to " bh_b6_3 ". These are instructions for the bug
holes and they decide which bug will come out of a specific bug
hole. All of these files contain instructions for the Royal
Warrior Bug apparent by the line "bug_type = royalwarrior 100 ".
Edit the line to " bug_type = warrior 100 " and you won't
face these scary bugs anymore.
Once this is taken care of, you can handle anything since most
of your troops are in 1st Class Marauder suits armed with double
chaincannons. Make sure all the lines in the files
(bh_1_1" to " bh_b6_3 ) are edited. I recommend that you copy
the folder " c3m7 " somewhere else before tampering with it.

Ammunition is a scarce commodity. However, using the right
bullet for the job helps. Use the small arms for the in your
face bug work. Save the missiles, grenades, and nukes for the
bug holes and Tankers.
Heavy nerve gas is a gutsy way to ruin a bug hole's day.
Make sure that you have a squad covering the poor soul hoping
to drop the gas down the hole.
Ambush Arachnids whenever possible. Use three squads to form
a U. Run a couple of Mobile Infantry under the bug's nose and
lead it back to your trap. Rinse and repeat for the large bug
swarms.
