General Play Tips
1. Use the I key to check out information on the targeted ships and run if its a
mean one- it can save your life if you go up against a Xenon unkown outgunned!!
2. Go to one of the pirate bases - one in Chin Clouds (from seizewell go North,
east, south, south, south, east) and get them to tune up your engine and
rudders.
This increases the speed and pitch/yaw of your craft - you can outrun Xenon
ships
if you get it modified twice.
3. Whenever you embark on a crazy crusade or are about to buy something
expensive, take a minute to fly somewhere and SAVE THE GAME!!! Then if it goes
horribly wrong you have something to return to.
Walkthrough v 0.02
Part 1
Start buying energy cells from one of the solar power stations (whichever is
cheapest) and take them to one of the factorys in the same sector (whichever one
needs energy the most). You cann tell who needs a resource most by flying near
it
and pressing i . This will give you information about the current levels of
stock
as well as where and freighters working for the factory are going.
Once you have a bit of cash you should start purchasing cargo bay upgrades at
the
trading station. When you have upgraded a few times (3-4) start trading in oil
from the sunoil plant because it gives you a bigger profit.
When you have about 7-8 thousand saved up (cant remember exactly how much) tell
the telladi albatross (a big square ship hanging around) to follow you and then
go to the shipyard and purchase a power plant. Now fly to where there arent any
powerplants nearby and tell the albatross to drop its cargo. You now have your
own energy plant!!
Now you have to start stocking your plant up with crystals so it can convert
them
to energy. The nearest crystal plant is through the north gate and you should
find yourself making a tidy profit in notime off your energy plant!
Part 2
You must find the Argon battleship which is located in the Argon Prime Sector
(coordinates 1,3) You can see your coordinates when you save or load a game...
Seizewell eg is on coordinate 5,1, if you fly from seizewell through the west
gate you get to coordinate 4,1 and if you fly through north gate from seizewell
you get in 5,0 and so on. Ok once you spoke with the battleship commander in
Argon Prime he'll tell you to look for the Argon Priests (religious fanatics as
he call them), those priests are flying around in small spacecrafts (they have
no
weapons) and you should find them almost everywhere in the Argon sector, you
recognize those ships on your map as purple dots. The Priest well tell you to
follow him to his leader.... This is a quite a long trip and eventually he'll
bring you to the "Cloudbase South West" sector located on coordinates 0,5. In
that sector you'll find a Temple of the Argon Priests... open communications
with
the temple and they'll give you lots of information including a nice movie!! :)
They'll tell you to buy a mineral detector and search for some unknown minerals
which are probably hidden by R. Gunn many centuries ago (R. Gunn was the brave
officer who saved the Earth by tricking the enemy fleet through the Gateway). I
just bought myself a mineral detector and looking for the system where the
minerals should be...
Part 3
I expect you have found the asteriod for the next part of the plot in Chins
cloud
but if you havnt here is were it is. If you don't know were the pirate base is
it
is in chins cloud right at the bottom of the tacical view(n) in the middle.
Looking at the pirate base from the tactcal view you will see 2 asteriods just
above it. Track horizontaly to the left and you should see another asteriod
(bottom of a daginal group of three asteriod running from left to right slopping
down at a -45 degree angle to the horivonta), this is the one i have found to
have the traces on. At this point fire the hornet missile at it to realease the
data storage device and collect to watch a video. Take this to argon prime to
the
battleship again and talk to him, he will send you to "The Wall" east of "Argon
Prime", this is where im at and am getting the money together. If your wondering
about the hornet missile I can't remember were it tells you to fire the missile
at the asteriod but it does say so in the log. You get the missle from the
Paranids (from Cloudbase southwest go south(were the groners are), then east
then
south again and hear should be an equipment dock were you can buy the missile
(6500c) and the docking cimputer(10,000C) . The docking computer is great as you
just select a station, press "D" and your there in no time flat literlaly) but
of
course they don't talk to you straight away like the Split so you'll have to
shoot some pirates or Xenons in there to make them trade with you.....
Part 4
After you have got the tape from the asteroid in Chins Clouds you take it to the
Gonners in Cloud Base south west and they will will then tell you to go show it
to a destroyer. From here go to Argon prime and show the destroyer the tape he
will then redirect you to the Carrier Argon 1. I won't spoil the fun but Argon 1
will then tell you everything from there in some long cut scenes and will set
you
some misions.You will need to find the old jumpgate before you can progress this
is at the heart of the xeon sector go through Atreous clouds to get to the
xeon.Now once you have found the jump gate go back to Argon 1. Mission 1 destroy
power plants; go to xeon sector through Atreous clouds after shooting the Power
plants get out of the sector and return to Argon 1, unless you have the Gamma
hept and 50 megs of sheild armour then you can stay and fight for a bit. Mission
2 go to Xeon sector through Thuraks beard in the Split sector and destroy xeon
mother ship then. For this mission you might want help so contact the Teladi
Carrier in Greater profit {i think any how go to Seizwell and have a look around
for a carrier(not a destroyer)} and ask for assistance.Once you have taken out
the mothership contact Argon 1 then run away back to Argon prime taking out as
many ships as you can on the way so Argon 1 has less to do and less chance of
being destroyed, and wait for Argon1 {this ship is very slow ( it took me nearly
2 hrs of waiting!)and will only follow you when you go through the jump gate
first} MAKE SURE ARGON 1 DOES NOT GET DESTROYED!!! Once at Argon prime contact
Argon 1 they will then give you some items and tell you that you can 't get home
thats as far as ive got at the moment...
