Escape Velocity Special Weapons and Ships:
Forklift: Option-click the title screen so you get the EV/MST3K theme. Wait until "-MCB 4:35 A.M." shows up, then hold down control-command-option-shift-F. You'll hear the Forklift theme song "They'll try to kill 'im with a forklift!".The loaded pilot file receives the forklift.
Cloaking Device: Flying for the Rebels. The cloaking device is received prior to the mission where the objective is to insert a Rebel covert ops team onto Luna. You'll need the cloaking device for this mission.
Particle Beam: Flying for the Confederates. The particle beam is obtained during the mission where the objective is to disable a bulk freighter and retrieve a stolen Confederate weapon prototype (the particle beam). Be sure to destroy the freighter after obtaining the weapon.
Tractor Beam: Flying for the Rebels. The tractor beam is received after successfully completing the AstroDyne V mission where you are required to ambush a Confederate weapons convoy and return the stolen munitions back to Palshife.
Sattelite of Love: Hold down "S", "O" and "L" at the title screen. Eventually you'll come across it in a shipyard.
