The icons on it correspond to pressing the F1 - F12 keys. * - The action is only possible with the appropriate equipment. ┌──────────────────────┐ │ Management: practice │ └──────────────────────┘ So, the theory is complete. Now practice. It should be immediately cautioned that All the laws of physics apply in the game, i.e. if you accelerated to terrible speed speed, then you will have to slow down... To begin with: There are several types of ports for ships: Orbital, Planetary open (On planets with an atmosphere) and Planetary closed (on planets without an atmosphere). So let's say we're at an open planetary port. The take-off process is as follows: we ask for permission to take off at the port (communications, permission to take off), click on engine icon (see picture). The croable flies up to a certain height. When- add gas and exit the atmosphere... In general, it’s enough for a hyperjump altitude 12000 m. In a closed port - everything is exactly the same, but you don’t need to press the engine - the ship it will take off on its own... Then we gain altitude, then - at will... From the orbital station - we also simply ask for permission to take off - us they launch into space, then we act at our own discretion... Flight. For starters, jumping between systems. First you need to callstar map, select your destination there. Further, in the case of a planet, after takeoff, rise above 12,000 m and make a jump (see controls). Hyperjumps require fuel. It is different for different types of engines (see. equipment). Sometimes (mainly due to insufficient service) erroneous jumps happen. In such a case, you should take several fuels more than is required for the jump. So, we left hyperspace. You need to get to the desired point (port, station, planet... You never know...). What are we doing? There are several options. Firstly, it is highly desirable to have an autopilot in conjunction with navigation tion computer. Then the process of flying to stations/ports is reduced to select the destination point on the navigation computer (see controls), and accelerate change the time scale (see control, figure). If navigation there is no computer, then we do this: select the star map, select star system map. Initially, the system is scaled around the star, by clicking the mouse you can select the object around which the scaling. Next, by rotating and changing the scale, select destination point. Next, first click on the autopilot icon (see control, drawing), then at the destination object. Afterwards we accelerate the masstime headquarters If the destination is a port or station, the ship will come and will dock itself, otherwise we will switch to manual control. So, manual control. We either do not have an autopilot, or our goals are different than landing at the port... Well, the destination has been chosen. We turn to it, set the required speed. The farther it is, the higher the setting speed increases (remember: acceleration, like braking, requires time..), then we manipulate the time scale. The closer we get to goals, the smaller we make the scale, and, accordingly, we slow down the speed. Manual planting. When approaching the planet's atmosphere, we must have speed is somewhere around 50,000 km/h. We enter the atmosphere, gradually drop speed... When we are in line of sight from the port, our speed should not exceed 10,000 km/h, then it will be easy to brake... When landing areas are visible, the speed should not exceed 2000 km/h. Before boarding, you must ask permission to board, otherwise they will not let you in. Those the same rules apply to the space station. Also, if you decide to land on an uninhabited planet, and choose itself as a target for the autopilot, you will have to land on it manually, because the autopilot will take its center as a target, and when approachingsurface on autopilot you will still have too much speed... Well, I explained the basics of flying. The next subject of discussion is ┌─────────────┐ │Equipment:│ └─────────────┘ Miscellaneous: ───────── ╔══════════════════════════════════╗ ║Auto Refueller 1t ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════╝ Automatically pumps fuel from the cargo compartment to the internal ny tank.

Just don’t think about working for a job right away. both will be declared a double agent, and then do not expect mercy. ∙ The closer the enemy is to you, the more likely it is that you will hit rockets. ∙ The larger your ship, the easier it is for the enemy to hit it. ∙ If your ship uses engines from 1st to 3rd class and you little space - try installing an appropriate military engine. In ASP - Class 3 Military drive is ideal! ∙ Radioactive waste (Radioactives) - the result of the work of a military engines - are prohibited goods in some systems. === Cut === I wish you good luck!LAV // SoftLand Software // SandS [I.ZX] [Jazz]

Hello All! === Cut === At first, the most important activity in the game is ┌─────────┐ │Trade.│ └─────────┘ What can I say? Money is such a thing that it doesn't stay long, and are always needed. A completely different question - where to get them? There are several ways but it is trade that gives the greatest profit. Let's start with the economy. In each system, some goods are imported, others are exported, others are prohibited puppies. A universal recipe: you need to look at the economic state of the systems /F3,F9/, there are graphs there: Major exports Minor exports Major imports Minor imports (main export) (indirect export) (main import) (indirect import) ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ So: we are looking for a pair of planets such that the goods in the graph "Major exports" in one system were in "Major imports" in another, neighboring system and vice versa. (this is an ideal case, options are possible). Heavy ships are good for trade (BOA FREIGHTER, PANTHER CLIPPER, GRIFFIN CARRIER). They are roomy and powerful, although slow and expensive. Trading in prohibited goods is associated with heavy fines, although it may bring big profits. I, the author of this document, did not do this.But is trading the most important thing in this game? Next come ┌───────┐ │Missions.│ └───────┘ Passengers: ──────────── Bulletin boards are covered with advertisements for transportation. Business: set add 7-8 extra cabins to your ship - and off you go! But there is a catch here - some passengers are running away from someone, and therefore, even for these missions They pay more, but there is also more danger. But this can be turned into fortunately, having earned a battle rating from the enemy! Contract killing. ──────────────────── The most "legal" way: 1) Stock up on a cloud analyzer and rockets. 2) Take the contract. 3) Fly to your destination by the required date - the victim must be already there. 4) Wait for the victim to fly into hyperspace. 5) Analyze the departure cloud and fly there. (ATTENTION! Your the ship must be smaller and => faster than that of the victim!) 6) Upon arriving in the system you will see two clouds: one is yours, the other is victims. Determine which one is not yours, leaving it selected in combat mode. 7) Wait for the ship to arrive using the time acceleration buttons. 8) Fire a rocket at the victim. 9) After the victim flies away, press Shift+F2 or Shift+F3, and she [the victim] will come back to kill you.10) Remove it and return to the point of departure for the fee. The "illegal" way is to kill the target right there on the start, but there will be problems with the law. They can (and often do) precisely this) impose a fine for an illegal shot in the atmosphere, extremely rarely ko - for "piracy and murder", and almost never - put in prison (which naturally means the end of the game) How to get into the newspapers? 1) When a contract for 50,000 appears, take it and complete it. 2) All newspapers will write about you later, the police and the army will write about you search, and a reward of 50,000 will be announced on your head! However, the hunt will begin for you - in every system you will be get out. 3) If you change ship, then you will never be found, and if not - they won't leave you alone. How to quickly return the CLEAN status? If you managed to do something unnecessary, which resets you greatly your status, then immediately ease your soul and wallet - donate 10000.0 to some fund - and let a miracle happen! In the majority cases works. Search for persons: ─────────────── The income here is small, so don’t pay much attention to this section worth it. It’s just that each advertiser says his name. And just him can search. And they especially go Military missions:───────────────── These could be: . Deliveries - no explanation required. . Secret missions - see below. . Contract killings are the same as in private orders. . Photographing objects is like secret ones, only without a satellite. . Destruction of objects - destroy an object on the planet with a nuclear missile. ∙ How to complete a secret mission /CLASSIFIED MISSION/? 1) First you need to have a ship with a military engine - in a special point it says which one, and the title is not lower than CORPORAL. 2) We take a secret mission (it usually has the following content: Demolish nuclear - ugh, that is, nuclear - satellite rocket and take a photo of the object). 3) We fly to this system. 4) We shoot down a satellite - we shine a nuclear missile at it. But there is jokes: - The satellite must be shot down IMMEDIATELY and ABSOLUTELY!!! Otherwise - shandets. You already will never give you peace. Each system will be like an anap- chemical. - To catch up with a satellite, you need to have a ship with the acceleration of the main one engine more than 20 g. 5) We descend (with our hands!) over the object, switch to combat mode - and - click! click! click! - Sometimes this mission may be impossible - the planet will be too heavy and it will pull you down (you guessed it - a skiff).6) Phypppp! - Let's fly away for a reward! ┌───────────────────────────────── ──────────────────────────────────┐ │┌──────────────────────────────── ─────────────────────────────────┐│ ││ ││ ││ AND NOW - DEDICATED TO PEOPLE WHO WISH POWER AND ALL-POWER:││ ││ ││ │└──────────────────────────────── ─────────────────────────────────┘│ └───────────────────────────────── ──────────────────────────────────┘ ############## #!!!!!!!!!!!! # S P E C P U H K T ! ! ! ############## So, let's start the maximum program. First of all, we earn a lot of money - somewhere around 200000.0 $. How to do this was described above. And don't be afraid to buy to sink big ships - at these times it is necessary. This must be done HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO EARLIER! Then we fill our rating up to COMPENENT (in anarchic systems for this - all the conditions - the enemy is coming in droves, and if you are talented pilot, then they lie in stacks - which is what I wish for you). Now - MANDATORY! - fill yourself with the title - CORPORAL or better SERGEANT - This will allow you to fulfill take on secret missions (such as: shoot down a satellite with a nuclear missile and something like that take a photo).An ideal ship for gaining ratings and ranks - ASPEXPLORER, which I already talked about. Approximate equipment is as follows: 4MW BEAM LASER LASER COOLING BOOSTER AUTOPILOT SCANNER ATMOSPHERIC SHIELDING NAVIGATION COMPUTER COMBAT COMPUTER AUTO TARGETTER RADAR MAPPER ECM SYSTEM NAVAL ECM SYSTEM HYPERSPACE CLOUD ANALYSER TRACTOR BEAM CARGO SCOOP 10 SHIELD GENERATORS ENERGY BOOSTER UNIT CLASS 3 MILITARY DRIVE - Secret missions are only possible with it! Now the most delicious part begins. You must do all this before September 3252 Now we fly to ALIOTH [0,4], planet ARGENT'S CLAIM, city FORTRESS CULLODEN. There they celebrate a requiem for the lost expedition. be there it is necessary from October 1st to October 5th, 3252. Donate the maximum amount for it - mu - 10000.0 $. They will tell you that you are such a cool person, and they will offer you repeat this expedition (on an awesome ship!). Agree without further discussion thieves You will be asked to fly to the Pleione system (32,32) and take a photo the lost ship, and also pick up its black box (FLIGHT RECORDER). But there is a catch - if you look closely at the BBS, you can see information for sale (by the way, it may not exist). It says there TURNER'S QUEST (that was the name of the lost ship) was shot down by INRA, which identified this ship via satellite. This information saves us from being truedeath - we already know what will happen if we don’t shoot down a satellite in a secret mission. Then we’ll be cunning like this: one unfulfilled mission won’t harm us, so We take on a secret mission - they give us a powerful missile. Now we are flying to Pleione. Hanging around the 4th planet are: a satellite, TURNER'S QUEST and a broken-down tar- gon. First of all, we shoot down the satellite, then we head to TURNER'S QUEST. We carefully approach and take photographs. A bunch of different rubbish flutters nearby - among FLIGHT RECORDER flies it. We select him - I hope, still from the first eli- you know how it's done. Now we fly and photograph Targon in the same way. Let's go back. We are told to fly on Polaris (0.76). We sell everything unnecessary: HULL AUTO REPAIR and 10 protection generators. This should be enough. We buy full fuel compartment. By the way, they are giving us a Vigorous rocket again (and this is something... that means something!) - the “senders” themselves. We fly on Polaris. ATTENTION !!! Another such military satellite is circling around Polaris-3-d - it too must be shot down!!! Then we fly and dock at "????" (that's what it's called Targon-teleport). he teleports us to Miackce (37,144), for which we need fuel. There we fly up to the largest targon (NOT TELEPORT!), marked white on the radar. He tells us to fly to their base(she’s nearby, she’s so huge). There you will have the Targondians in turn They offer a mission: fly to Hotice(-3,-2). There on the first planet there is bunker with antifungal vaccine, which INRA has saved for itself (We must note that the Targondians at one time were unjustly offended by people, which is why they started a war - a war not of conquest, but of intimidation and edification. This is where INRA had a hand - it invented a fungus that ate their hyperdrives. Now the war is over, and the Targonians have no intention of starting it again.) We fly back (not on Alioth!!!), refuel, fly on Hotice-1, once%$#@we take the bunker, sit down next to it and throw out the MINING MACHINE, somewhere After half a minute we pull it in: if it doesn’t fit, no big deal. The main thing is vaccine in the compartment. We fly back to the Targond base, where the Targondians are offer us as a reward COOLEST TARGON!!!!!! He is almost invulnerable. Its approximate technical characteristics: 1000 Shield Generators Thargoid Lasers on all turrets (4 in number) Thargoid Hyperdrive - due to a glitch it is recognized as Class 4 Military Drive, but allows you to jump 670 light years for 7 tons Military fuel, and literally INSTANTLY! The size of the cargo compartment is 65535 tons! And the Targonians stuff itwith your artifacts, and => you will never again will have to work! I almost forgot - he’s not that invulnerable! The only thing terrible for His thing is PLASMA ACCELERATOR. Moreover, he is somehow still a little SMALL (not for long) holds up, but LARGE is almost a mental paragraph. Protection hold it for a little over a second, and then... And yet - I don’t recommend hammering - hitting the planet with all its might (with the 1st cosmic ;-) will also be fatal. Of course, we agree to take the targon, we wait at their base while they they will do it, then BY HANDLES! - they do not provide additional equipment - We are flying to Alioth - they are already waiting for us there. But with what? Before that you should be sure to save - once the targon was taken away from me, and once - They left me saying how cool I am. _DO NOT LAND ON THE PLANET IMMEDIATELY_! U Targon does not yet have atmospheric protection! Dock at the station and there equip the targon. AUTOPILOT first thing... yes, shove what you want - there's so much space! This is how we become the owners of the coolest thing in ship game. Although, I suspect, this is not all. Let's play and see! P.S. It looks like I've solved the mystery of taking and leaving a targon - it's all about satellites! The first time I didn’t shoot down a single one - so much so that the wholethey took the road - I hope it’s clear who - and then they also took away the targon... (however, one more nuance - when I was already flying from Hotice to Miackce with cargo vaccines, I flew to Alioth for refueling - that’s what I shouldn’t have done ...By the way, maybe that’s why they took it away?) But another time I did everything according to rules, and - voila! - I have targon! -------- -------- ------ THE END ------ ---- ---- --------------- === Cut === PS From LAV - the game doesn’t end here!
