Cabbage, is your info up yet?

Sorry, never got around to making any sort of FAQ. And by now I've forgotten enough that it probably wouldn't be very useful. D:

how do you run this in vista

[_r.u.s.s.]

with dosbox

I haven't played this game but I just read the description and these comments and I have to wonder..
How close is this to Space Rangers 2 (a 2005 game from Russia with low system req)? SR2 has 2d space with top-down view but otherwise the similarities are striking. Half a dozen races to pick from, "open-ended" universe to haul stuff, run missions and quests, probe uninhabited planets for stuff and of course, the main goal of eliminating an invading mechanical race with superior firepower that has several "leaders" which can be neutralized in multiple ways, not just by blowing them to bits.

Not so similar I'd say. You can only play one race here - human, but you meet other races (their number is limited though - if I remember correctly there are some 15 races maximum). The number of planets is also limited (and you neededn't travel to all of them). The number of missions is also limited. Once you get close to the end there is only one standing mission left - to keep destroying enemy ships, but the game can end if you take out the enemy master computer - you can deactivate it or destroy its ship.

But then again, there are several games where you need to travel, trade, collect and destroy things in order to progress (and quite a large number of them is set in space).

You can just play the game for yourself and see how much it is (or is not) like SR2 (which I haven't played, so it's not so easy to compare).

Hello Folks, Since I have been playing this game pretty much since it first came out (yes I still have an original copy in the box-disks & manual) I would like to contribute some missing info.
For instance no-one from what I can see mentions the Proto-Uni Translator for communicating with the Shaasa. I will attach a doc with useful info and continue to watch the postings.

Awesome...
I'll have a look at it, when I'm playing again...

Elurindel, IIRC you get the Stealth Shield once you get the final promotion from the Alliance.

Anyhow, did anyone actually find the Shaasa translator decive (IIRC it was called the Proto-Uni Translator)?

I finally figured out how to get sound for this game when running it through DOSBox on Mac OSX.

I downloaded another app to go with it called Dapplegrey and it automatically fixed my sound configuration.
