I guess I'll just have to use more than one ship though. I had a gigantic ship loaded with weapons and couldn't get rid of that measly normal orbital shield.

Maybe u cleaned the orbit and they still got surface cloaking shields. Try to get into orbit, only if u are sure of have used enough firepower. the big pain of cloaking for attacker it´s the didn´t know. Once i move four ships, the half of my fleet, to take over a cloaked planet :Titan:, it was only a minimal colony mostly wasteland!!!! :ranting:

hey guys - is anyone cleverer than me able to tell me how I can extract the awesome music from this game from the game files? i know this is usually possible with games, but no idea how to do it...

cheers

If you can't hear the music from this site version, it is most probably ripped already and you won't be able to extract it.

I'm not sure about the site version as I have the original on CD - and can certainly here the music. I'm sure the music is stored somewhere in the game files in some format, just no idea how to find it and extract it. Any clues anyone?

Since the game can be played with out the CD by movoing the "COB" files, the music is obviously within the COB file. If it is extracted at play time it maybe dropped locally while the game is played, or more likely it is loaded into memory and played that way.

I have not looked in the COB file to see if it is "readable" in some fashion. If you look at the header for a MID, MOD, etc, so that you know the leading identifiers, you can search for that and possibly see where the music starts at in the COB. Then it is a matter of determining the length of the data and "ripping" it out. That's my weak understanding of it at least.

can anyone tell me how to "Help-click", I've researched loads of stuff
but I don't know what it does. Or if someone had the manual, that would probably be helpful

You have to Shift - Click on an item to get info about it.
EnjoY!

The only thing I dislike about this game are the medals. I never seem to get the highest medal (frustrating). Also When you visited almost all systems and/or many planets the game ends bah :/

It depends on how you design the game from the start and victory conditions.

Are there settings that can alter that? The only settings I see is load, save, new game etc and the player selection screen. No other screens present.
