50% Shield Boost
While playing, press enter and type IMPERMEABLE. This should make it harder for your enemies to damage your systems and your shields will take longer to fall. This works on any species.
Transport Through Shields
While playing, press enter and type GOTCHA. This will allow you to transport without dropping your shields. The blue shimmer around your ship will still appear, but your systems wont take damage the same way they would with your shields down.
Enter Gamma Quadrant
The only way to enter the gamma quadrant is to go to your bedroom and have a nap. The cheat IMOUTTASTEPWITHREALITY does nothing. The gamma quadrant is probably mostly uncharted for this reason.

Cheat Method
Open the RTS_CFG.H file. Go to the line under difficulty settings and modify the line to says what you want.
// // DIFFICULTY SETTINGS // // Damage coefficients for incoming damage for user in single player float
EASY_DAMAGE = 0.5; float HARD_DAMAGE = 2.0;
If you set it to 0 your ships will not be damaged. However some nebulas still damage the ships if you leave them in it to long.
Increase Officers
To increase the amount of officers just change the following line in the RTS_CFG.h file for Armada II from 600 to 999.
// the max value that officer capacity can be in a single player game, and default in multiplayer game. int SINGLE_PLAYER_OFFICER_LIMIT = 600;
NOTE: Always make a backup before editing files.
Increase Transporter Range:
Go to the RTS CFG file and unclick the Read-Only box in Properties. Then go into the file and change transporter range to 50000000000 to get full map transports.
