I remember it got very good reviews 5 years ago, when I was playing
Starcraft and Air Warrior and X-Wing, but I never got around to getting
it, until this week.

Is anyone playing it online? Not that I'm ready for that, I can't even
figure out how to play it! It didn't come with any manual, just a CD in
a box. I did a little of the training, but I would like to know what
the object of the game is, and what is does the overall gameplay consist
of. I started the "training", and it is not difficult, although I've
only done the first couple of lessons.

Does an online manual, or something like that, exist?

Thanks for some info,

m

Isn't there a PDF manual on the CD?

As to the object of the game ... did you let the pre-game video play
all the way through?

Nope. I even did a search with windows "search" thing. There are no
..pdf files on the disk.

Yes. I know that the object is to get home, but I don't know how the
game is played. I continue to do the training; I've done 5 lessons. I
suppose I will pick it up little by little by trial & error, if I don't
lose interest. I have no idea how to get home, or how you find out how
to get home.

The game is mission based like any other RTS out there - just listen to
the things you are told at the beginning of each mission, and you will
know what to do. Once a mission is finished, you will jump to the next
one, until you finally reach Higara.

If you have gameplay questions, visit the forums at
forums.relicnews.com, they have a friendly and competent crowd that will
surely answer your questions.

I finished the training and I have just started the missions. It's
going pretty well. I do have one question: Is there an alternate way of
selecting a ship? It's essential to be able to select a ship, or ships,
but the only way I know to do that is to identify it by eye, and then
click on it. Sometimes that is very difficult and too slow. Is there a
way to pop-up a list and click on a name, or to cycle through the
available ships?

Thanks for all the good info so far, and for this one.
