MORE ADVICE
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

þ When you start your game, you should head to nearest Starbase to get
a pilot's licence. When you find a person who can give you a one,
you must answer some questions. So, if you don't know the answers...
- How many light years there are in a parcek ? : 3.26
- What is the hottest type of star ? : O - type
- What is the mathematical expression for force ? : F=ma
- To what does a Star Pilot swear his alligiance? : IMPERIUM

þ If you want to (well, you have to) use Malir Gates, read this:
To activate the warmhole-effect you must be cruising at least at
speed value 21. Once entered the warmhole, keep up good speed, shall
we say around 15. This is because of warmholes shield-eating effect...
So don't travel at the snail's pace...and keep in the circles.

þ About docking:
- Starbase:
The brightly lighted axial pillar that connects the two pyramidal halves.
- Outpost:
The bright inner wall containing the black access door.
- Mining station:
Nudge any part of a mining station to activate its docking equipment.
- Carrier:
The main deck, marked by a landing stripe.

þ Now, when you want to restore a previously saved game, you will be
prompted for a word from the manual. Don't care about all those
sentences and paragraphs, just check the number of the page, and
refer to this list:

1 Scout 9 Seasoned 19 Deadly 31 Workers
2 Decade 10 Dock 20 Shield 35 Suicidal
3 Better 12 Shown 21 Control 37 Imperial
4 Beneath 13 Recharging 22 Helm 39 Should
5 Longer 14 Fire 24 Gates 41 Colonization
6 Target 15 Three 25 Quickly 42 Piracy
7 Have 16 Optional 27 Titans 44 Wrench
8 When 18 Instance 28 Flashy 46 Chambers

So, as you can see, few words are missing , but I don't think you
will be prompted for them...at least not so often as the others!
Take it as a fill-in exercise!

þ Now it's time for some information on those solar systems you can reach
through Malir Gates or with Hyper Drive.

rule of law in the Far Arm.

- Nar'see:
Lagrange mining colony produces the finest titanium in the galaxy.
Nar'see's fields of antimatter shards attracted much attention in popular

towards taxiation and authority. Meanwhile, the advanced Bassruti Genetics

Manchi incursions. Piracy is no longer a significiant problem.

- Zed:
The MiCon IV outpost is proud to announce that the distinguished
gravitation physicist Zoriah Prosk is pursuing further research break-
throughs in its laboratories. Another sign that the Far Arm is attracting
the movers and shakers of the Imperium!

þ And to the end, word of warning:
DON'T ATTACK TITANS UNLESS YOU ARE VERY EXPERIENCED ! Or give it a try...

þ By the way, if you want to try Space Rogue on EGA, start it typing
SR E (unless you only have an EGA board...then only SR).
And, for CGA simply SR C , but who has a CGA anymore..?
I you have a VGA, but you think game is running on EGA, try SR V .
And for TANDY users SR T . (Almost forgot...)
