Re: Repetitive Encounters

Re game play I am stuck (fairly early in the game, mission 26) in a repetitive situation where I encounter Spemin the moment I click on any Crew Member key (eg on the Navigator/F3 key). Immediately means immediately. I can leave the encounter by reentering hyperspace and just go right back to anoth...

Re: hack beta.starflt.com

Now you really know why I created this second forum - so most of the spam would appear in a place most real people are not bothering with. :)

Re: How would you change Beta 5's continuum fluxes?

Developers are in high demand in this world. There our currently no professional developers actually working on this game, only one amateur putting in an hour or two occasionally in his spare time. I have some basic academic experience with quick hacks and fixes to the game code, such as what I desc...

A note about the missions in the game...

Numerically there are 63 missions in the game. In reality this number gets far more confusing. There are four different plot stages in the game. Each plot stage changes the dialogue, character, statistics, and behavior of ALL of the alien races. PLOT STAGE 1 Missions 1-10 are training missions, same...

Re: Scientific Quest 35

The Thrynn sent me to Eocho in the Etarlam system looking for a Spiral Lens. The spiral lenses is actually the only remnant of a large number of nonlinear "missions" I was going to implement. Since artifacts may be picked up an indefinite number of times, I decided to not give people any source for...

Re: BETA 5 Download

OK I am confused. Quest 35-Exotic Planet......the quest description said to look for a small planet with very heavy gravity. The Bar-zhon say it is an acidic planet. The Elowan say it has a F or G star. And the Thrynn ask me to go look for a device stolen from them. When I go get the device, it is ...

Re: To Players: What missions have you accomplished?

Three are three "clue hunting" missions in the game, "chaos" being the first. More or less these missions are to force you to talk to all of the alien races, get a sense for what is going on, and write down all useful hints, coordinates, and locations so that by combining them you can find what you ...

Re: BETA 5 Download

Bar-zhon, the dialogue says "Would you please tell us to decode this data on exotic particles". Seems like the word "how" should be in the dialogue. . Thanks, the fix will appear in the next patched version. I plan to release it after a few people have succeeded in getting through all the missions.
