What you need to do is look at the planet. When you are close enough you will see a red circle appear around the outside. Aim the ship at a point BETWEEN the planet and the red line and keep it pointed there. After a while it will say 'achieved orbit'. DO NOT shut down the impulse engines, they will shut down automatically. --------------------------------------- | patrick_meloy@outbound.wimsey.bc.ca | | 'The Outbound' BBS Vancouver BC | ---------------------------------------
