'''All cheats must be typed in-mission. Use of cheats in FS1 (except before Red-Alert missions) will result in inability to continue the campaign from beyond that current mission.'''

With that being said, all cheats are listed below:
*To get access to all movies in the tech room, type ''freespacestandsalone''.
*To summon a Volition Bravos pirate ship, type ''arrrrwalktheplank'' (that's 4 Rs).
*Type ''humanheadsinside.'' (including the period) in the Vasudan mainhall for the [[headz]] cheat.
*Type ''vasudanswuvfishes'' in the Vasudan mainhall to see some colorful fishies.
*Type ''skipmemymissionyo'' in either mainhall to pop up a skip mission dialog. Enter the filename of the mission to skip to. This will destroy any legitimate campaign progress.
*Type ''tooledworkedowned'' during the mission to see pictures of Jim Boone or Alan Lawrence pop up every time you make a kill.
*To use the cheats below in FS1, type ''www.volition-inc.com''. You must press and hold the ` key (upper left hand of keyboard, left of the number 1) while typing the following codes. Note that only gameplay cheats will work in FS1; you cannot summon arrrwalktheplank, the mainhall cheats, and so forth.

To use the cheats below in FS2, type www.freespace2.com and follow the same procedure:

==Notes==
In FS2 only, it's possible to use cheats and still progress in a campaign. In FS1, however, you can only proceed in the campaign after cheating ''if'' the next mission is a red-alert. In both FS1 and FS2, The infinite missile cheat "carries over" in any subsequent missions, even if the player exits the campaign. The only way to disable infinite missile supply without restarting the application is to enable cheat mode and then ''disable'' the cheat.

In FS1 you can also get infinite weapon energy and missile ammunition by enabling the infinite weapon energy and missile ammunition cheat in one of the Tech Room single missions, then quitting the mission. You will have infinite energy and ammo in Campaign, and will still be able to continue the campaign.

==Notes==
In FS2 only, it's possible to use cheats and still progress in a campaign. In FS1, however, you can only proceed in the campaign after cheating ''if'' the next mission is a red-alert. In both FS1 and FS2, The infinite missile cheat "carries over" in any subsequent missions, even if the player exits the campaign. The only way to disable infinite missile supply without restarting the application is to enable cheat mode and then ''disable'' the cheat.

In FS1 you can also get infinite weapon energy and missile ammunition by enabling the infinite weapon energy and missile ammunition cheat in one of the Tech Room single missions, then quitting the mission. You will have infinite energy and ammo in Campaign, and will still be able to continue the campaign.

'''All cheats must be typed in-mission. Use of cheats in FS1 (except before Red-Alert missions) will result in inability to continue the campaign from beyond that current mission.'''

With that being said, all cheats are listed below:
*To get access to all movies in the tech room, type ''freespacestandsalone''.
*To summon a Volition Bravos pirate ship, type ''arrrrwalktheplank'' (that's 4 Rs).
*Type ''humanheadsinside.'' (including the period) in the Vasudan mainhall for the [[headz]] cheat.
*Type ''vasudanswuvfishes'' in the Vasudan mainhall to see some colorful fishies.
*Type ''skipmemymissionyo'' in either mainhall to pop up a skip mission dialog. Enter the filename of the mission to skip to. This will destroy any legitimate campaign progress.
*Type ''tooledworkedowned'' during the mission to see pictures of Jim Boone or Alan Lawrence pop up every time you make a kill.
*To use the cheats below in FS1, type ''www.volition-inc.com''. You must press and hold the ` key (upper left hand of keyboard, left of the number 1) while typing the following codes. Note that only gameplay cheats will work in FS1; you cannot summon arrrwalktheplank, the mainhall cheats, and so forth.

To use the cheats below in FS2, type www.freespace2.com and follow the same procedure:
