Just build, destroy and conquer! I know some will say that that is not what the game was designed for but I am the consumer and that's what I would like.

There are times when a player wants to play this game without waiting for all the upgrades and research to finish. We all know what I am referring to: mega cystles, credits, metal, tactical points, logistic points, ships hulls, ships shields, instant research. Myself, along with I would say thousands and thousands of other players, would like to play the game our way instead of being forced to play the long draw out game play that the game requires. Why is it that Developers just haven't put cheats into the game? Is it really that hard to do for the single player version? I don't understand why cheats would not be available? Even the highet played games out there have cheats for their single player side.
