This is a fairly interesting game, but I'm a bit stuck on a few things. But before I get to that, a little advice for beginners: Read the manual from cover to cover. Especially the logs and transcript. Make notes of the interesting things, like the flux locations in the NOAH 2 log. Make good notes of important things, like messages from aliens! Photocopy the map, and mark up the copy with things like who is where, and which planets you've been to. Anyway, the questions: (accompanied by minor spoilers): I've been around the Elowyn space, and to heaven. The Institute is supposed to have had a base on Akteron 6. Well, the Elowyn says Akteron is one of the 4 seeds, and only one of them has 6 planets. I go there, and no ruins at 75wx66e. Is Akteron 6 the 6th planet, or the planet in the 6th orbit? The Mechans around heaven say there are ruins on the ice planet in that system. But there is no ice planet, just a gravity well that crushes your hull. What are they talking about? Why are all stars type F? What is the Pythagoras constellation? Where on the 1st planet of 81,98 is the veloxi focusing stone? What use is the dodecahedron (distess beacon)? Oh, I love my cloaking device... Is there any way to get the 'teleportal' matter-mitter that guido talks about in the ops news? -- Ted Woodward (ted@cs.utexas.edu) Greetings, Royal Ugly Dudes!
