All right. I took some time getting acquainted with Docking Station,
with and without C3 docked on. (I noticed that some things seem to be
missing from the ship when it's docked with the station; in
particular, you don't have to upgrade any of the gadgets, and the
critter picker upper wasn't visible, though it was mentioned in the
help for a gadget. Also, while I'm thinking of it, is it possible to
lose something permanently by flushing it out an airlock? I'm
thinking specifically of the teleport pads.) Finally, I felt
confident enough to try my hand at saying hi to the locals, so to
speak. Double-check that everything's ready for immigrants, hit the
online button, and... nothing. Oh, silly me, someone else has to be
online at the same time. I'd thought they were stored on the server
or something until someone came to pick them up. No biggie. The
question is: when are people on? Obviously DS will be more fun to
play if I'm not just twiddling with my own Norns... |

Try saturdays? In theory there's an effort to get online then.
Incidentally, you can check the number of online users with Ctrl-Shift-B
twice.
And finally, norns are stored on the server but only if they have a
destination. It needs an online user to give them a destination.

Well, I tried staying online for a while, and after a bit some folks
sent me some Norns. Then I spent some time teaching them how to talk
(odd, that people would send me adult Norns who hadn't been taught)
and trying to meet their needs.

Er. Is that it? I'm sorry, I really am-- I want to enjoy this game--
but there doesn't seem to be much to do. Norn care seems trivially
easy, there doesn't seem to be enough variation in the species to make
selective breeding interesting, the 'grendel threat' doesn't even
enter into it unless I dock the ship (and even then, it doesn't seem
to be a big factor in most people's enjoyment, given that you can
easily download a switch to turn them off)... what is it, exactly,
that you people do playing this game? I'm not trying to be the 'your
game suxx0rz' guy here; I honestly want to find the fun, but... >> Stay informed about: So when do you guys play DS, anyway? |

*nods* The one I/we personally noticed was the low, touch-sensitive pad...
we didn't experiment with the rest. Even more annoying, strangely enough,
were those non-unique things that one nevertheless couldn't recycle.

Ctrl-Shift-C
position mouse over target
Type "kill hots" followed by enter
Ctrl-Shift-C
This'll nuke anything, and I do mean anything. Be careful

Hm. *considers* It really depends on one's individual... tastes, I'd/we'd
suppose you'd call them... I/we specifically found that the games appeal to
the same part of oneself that can care for a child, or for a pet; the term
'maternal/paternal instincts' can be applied to the first, but there's
probably not a phrase (or there might be, but we haven't heard of it) for
the second. It's not the same sort of game as in the common FPS or strategy
game, where the goal is 'Save the planet!' or 'Conquer the world!' or the
many variations on that theme...
*thinks* Hrm. Do you remember those things that were going around a while
back? Tamagotchi or something on those lines? Creatures is--in short--like
that, but better.

Hm. I guess I can see that. Maybe I'd be happier if I had a better
environment to raise the things in. (The default maps are cluttered,
and the few metarooms I tried to grab were 404'd.) (ponders designing
his own metaroom) So how much can Norn learn, anyway? I believe
their perception skills are limited, so I can't, for instance, build a
toy-vending machine and expect them to use it if they want a toy; they
wouldn't be able to tell it apart from any other machine. But what
can I teach them to do? >> Stay informed about: So when do you guys play DS, anyway? |

Not certain. In short: experiment. Also, remember that you can breed
them. *nods*

Oh, you can always produce more of those with the creators...

Everything you can pick up (and maybe the creatures can pick up, but I'm
not certain about that) will get destroyed in the airlocks. The
exception from the rule is my light sensor, that was specifically
designed not to. Basicly you couldn't pick it up - it chanced its
attributes when the hand touched it.
