No sound, can't exit the game without it crashing my computer...

Bummer. Seemed like a good game too.

Use DOSBox to run this great game! Works perfectly. (Yes, with sound)

WOW! ive had this game donwloaded for a while now but never attempted it coz i thought it would be too boring...i only started playing a few hours ago...its purely magnificent!! and the atmospheric music is a nice addition...

Just give it a few more hours!

ive been looking thru the pages to find a solution to my problem...but i gave up on page 6 and decided to just ask it...

ive got a ship with a colonizer, and i sent it to another planet to colonize...but now i dont know what to do with the ship...i returned it back to my original planet...but i can't seem to attach another colonizer on it...issit even possible to do this? and if i cant do this...what do i do with the ship? (its my first ship so its not really a heavy weapon or a scout kinda ship)

loox like i gotta refer to the manual :blink:

you might have to activate it when you come to the planet you wish to colonise. put the ship in orbit and colonise it.

If you wish to refit it can also be done, but you need free shipyard on the planet and then you can refit the ship.

how do u refit it? ive brought my ship back...but i dont know where to go to refit it...i click on the ship and there are three options "leave orbit", "abandon", "cancel"...and ive only got one shipyard, but im not building anyships at the moment...and when i click on the shipyard it doesnt say much either...im a bit lost...

Research! You will eventually get to Orbital Platform or some such... different that the Orbital Shipyard. One only builds ships and one only refits ships.

Of course, once you get the larger hulls, you can just scrap the small ships since you are limited to how many total ships you can build. Although colonizing more planets increases the limit.

sorry i am at work now and i really can't look into it, but i think you bring the ship to the planet with shipyard and then somehow refit it (maybe some icon or right click...) can't remember... wish they alowed games at work...
