This isn't a cheat as it is so much a trick to get other races to join you all at once. It places you massively in debt, so make sure you have nothing important to do for the next ten turns or so. Save up a wad of credits and offer each minor race the maximum you can give to get their next level of diplomacy, i.e. friendship-affiliation-membership. You end up getting just about everyone you asked, assuming you had about 3000 to start with, and the money you get from the trade routes or the new minor race system from a new member will make the deficet in your empire worth it.

First use the Trek.exe -Mudd code then in the main game right click click the button at the top left the one with microchip then click the management the one where you manage how many percent you devote on the research then press F9-F10 at the same time you will notive that the research percentage go up and if it goes to the 100 just click turn then you will learn that research.

To use these codes, you must start the game with these command lines (Note the space before the dash (-)).

TREK.EXE -bones (View the slides that appear when you form an alliance)

TREK.EXE -gorn (View the slides that appear when you lose the game)

TREK.EXE -kirk (View the slides that appear when you annihilate a planet)

TREK.EXE -picard (View the slides that appear when you achieve domination over the galaxy)

If you are tired of running out of money, play as the Ferengi and set up trade routes with every race you come in contact with.
