When on any mission perform an alpha strike on the aft-right shield, but don't destroy it. With the shield barely intact fire a photon torpedo into the front-left shield, quickly hit Ctrl and F4 and voilα - 4,000 prestige points.
Not enough? Well, you can always go for better weapons, shields and engines etc. To do this you need to access a text file called 'sfbspc13.txt' located in 'assets\specs\sfbspc13.txt' in the main directory of the game. Try modifying the many fields in this file using Microsoft Excel to create some formidable starships.
NB: You need to remove the read-only attribute of the file before you can alter any values. It's also worth keeping the original file somewhere safe - just in case.
