A couple hints: You need a total of seven to beat the quest: 1 race has four different types of genetic material. You won't get all four types unless you salvage them randomly from their destroyed ships 1 race wants to be flattered first, and if their attitude is very very positive they will give it...

... Kind of a subtle hint that if you start collecting minerals and lifeforms to sell back to Starport instead of strictly following the game in a linear order, you could quickly collect a little bit of extra fuel.

I know this is an extremely old topic, but just in case someone else runs into this, there are three solutions. Right-click, unlock the taskbar and drag it to the left side of the screen Drag the game window slightly above the top of the screen by clicking on the lower part of the bar so you can bar...

...To follow up on this, if anyone wants to tweak these settings in order to make the game more playable, I'll consider adding your tweaks to a new patched version of the game. I simply don't have the time to try things out myself and then test them. I've enabled .lua attachments on the forum if any...

Both of these bugs were identified and should've been fixed in the latest version already -- newer versions of the game don't install on top of earlier versions properly.

The mission actually has two parts - first find a ruin on the Bx Homeworld and then that ruin gives you another set of coordinates on a world of "monsters" - and then you have to find the star system which is the "world of monsters". The Spemin or Nyssian should give you the second set of clues. ......

Here is the unencoded globals file - simply tweak what you want and replace the existing one. Keep in mind that player ships and NPC ships have the exact same equipment, so you may inadvertently modify enemy ships as well. I personally recommend greatly reducing the range of missiles and lasers and ...

I love to get any "polished" improvements into the main code. As you can tell from the frequency of my posts, I don't have a lot of time to work on the project myself. Please PM me when you have a group of changes well tested on your side. A couple of the skills do actually work, look at moduleengin...
