Hey all i just wanted to do a quick post about all the resources you encounter i actually found mining to be a good source of income i made about 50K a load and took me about 10-15 min per load if you find a planet that has a extensive resource readout on the subjective scan

Ok here is a list of resources I came across I believe this is a fairly complete list except for the gasses that you find on some planets these prices are the prices at the three Newfront outposts if you go to the cities on some of the planets or trade with ships the prices to buy and sell will be negotiable however when selling to newfront the prices are set

Aluminum 60 Arsenic 60
Bismuth 80 Boron 80
Chromium 70 Copper 60
Erbium 60 Europium 70
Gold 60 Iron 50
Magnesium 60 Mercury 60
Molybdenum 70 Nickel 60
Silver 60 Strongtium 60
Tin 50 Titanium 60

I bought these resources from a couple ships don’t know if they occur as a mineral or if they are some specialty item

Lucid media 90 Reflectorall 90
Inpedigone 100


Ok just a few things I have learned weapons officers increase the damage of the weapons the Bio officer increases heal of your officers and engineer decreases repair time however the other positions, I have not noticed any effect other then having their picture in the screen when you use that function. Also DO NOT have your weapons armed when a ship comes toward you if it is friendly it will turn hostile and stay that way for quite a while (several weeks game time). One last thing if you don’t have money in your account they will call you a dictator and WILL NOT WORK or allow you to access that function with them assigned to it ESPECIALLY WEAPONS alright well that’s all I have learned so far if you find anything more post it and I might make a comprehensive walkthrough sometime okay maybe wasn't such a quick post
Enjoy

ok if anyone has beaten this game i just need a lil bit of help im pretty sure i am suppose to get the ghebraant into the alliance and i know they are looking for a new home but is there some home planet for them where you can speak to somthing other then a drone? all the drones will say is homeworld is used up or somthing like that and cant get any other info out of them its really starting to irritate me

It's like this game, because it gives you a lot of freedom to do your own thing.
But it lacks depth, and is too short.


**** Sploiler Alert! ****

Deresta
Homeworld: 045, 084 Boobolla
Pirates attack you at some random point after you get the quest. Be sure not to destroy the ship with the Deresta on board, like i did (save prior to battle).

Ventu
Homeworld: 084, 048
Prisoners: 084, 111
The thoughest fight in the game. You'll have to fend off 9(!!!) superior ships.
Not much tips i can give, other than that the computer AI responds to your ship's movements in a certain way. I reccomend attacking purely with the Cannon, unless you want to soften them up with pods (which cost a lot of fuel).
Also, work a lot with he [A] and [D] keys (accelerate and decelerate).
Once upon the surface, don't bother shooting down the enemy but raise shields and retrieve the scientists.

Kaynik
Homeworld: 144, 072 Kaniyaki (i think)
Surrender 3 times to get them to ally themselves with you.

Ghebraant
Homeworld: 030, 045 Hive IV
New planet: 117, 111
There are several plantes available for colonisation by the Ghebraant. But most of them have already been discovered by others, thus making them unavailable for the Ghebraant.
It's important that you have the quest for the Ghebraant. Go to the coördinates and travel to the green planet, furthest away from the sun. When asked to whom you'd like to "give" it to, choose Ghebraant.

Now the alliance is complete. The Skeetch hear of it and send in a Dreadnaught. It's invulnerable to normal weapon so you'll have to find the disformed ex-pilot Nodel. Talk to him and ask about the Dreadnaught. Eventually he'll give you these coördinates and this password;
Warship: 156, 066
Password: 29lnr1

To fight the Dreadnaught you'll have to fly around randomly for a bit. But, it's very important to have your entire Cargo Hold filled with fuel. Because the special cannon uses 50 m3 every time you use it.
Well, fighting it, seems to be depending on luck mostly. I attacked it 4 times. 3 times i had several of it's systems disabled, but when i came across it again, it was fully repaired.
The 4th time it was just bright red, and suddenly it exploded when i shot at it again. Save your game prior to battle, is my advice.

**** End Spoiler Alert! ****

YToo bad we cant get the improved engine and the gun before he gives us the password. I am at the ship now (with a music that sounds a lot like a previous starflight music) imputing correct password and dosent work... that's too bad.

Thanks for the Dosbox tips, it's fun how much I missed this game ^^

Took me a long time to figure out you have to right click while "maneuvering" to change the exit cursor to the "gather cursor" that is mentioned in the manual. Click left with it when you are above something (remember a/d for speed manipulation in case).

Lifeforms can be analized when in cargo (gathered/bought) within the medical menu.

Thanks for posting the spoilers.

Also, a "nice" way of getting alot of money. First, sell the particle gun and shield from your explorer. You should then have 21,000 credits. Go to Boobolla (045,084), and talk to their ground defense. Pick a humble attitude and ask a few questions. Next, go to a city and do the same thing. I tended to pick naive when trading with them. At this point you should be able to purchase doltinker for 22 credits. If you cant, find some other derestra to talk to. I don't haggle because it can make them mad with the volume I buy and they would raise the price back up. Spend all your money on buying it. Then return to the outpost and sell the doltinker for 50 credits each. At this point I sell the engine from the starship and buy a class 3 engine for it. Next, make this trade run until you have more than 38,000 credits.

By this point you should have analysed the 3 lifeforms on the planet. One of them, which has one foot and antlers and I call a hopper, you can buy for 67 credits and sell for 110 credits at the outpost. They also take up 0.2 space. Trade hoppers until you have more than 300,000 credits. (this should take a few runs, I did this by day 42.) On the next trade run you can buy a full cargo hold of hoppers. This will net you 186,000 credits, enough to outfit your ship and explorer with all class 3 equipment, plus you still have the 300,000 to buy hoppers for future money. I made the run once more to send earth 50,000 credits, fill up on stabilium and have pleny of extra for crew salaries.

how do i get the quest from the ghebraant to help them find a new world?

[malkari]

yeah its a great game even tho the graphics are a bit outdated ,btw this is a brill site thanks all.
if you are hard up cash there is a cheat available also you can use cheatfinder v1.3 k:

ps has anyone got the solution i be grateful if anyone could email it to me

To all,
I just recently requested to be able to upload cheat software called GW Share, to which is similar to Game Wizard, but for DOS only.
It allows you to manipulate the games memory. You can change the amount of credits in a game for example. I used it to give myself 10 million credits whilst playing Protostar. I've only just started playing it, and I haven't gotten very far. But I do have the best of everything, can easily pay my crew and keep replenishing my fuel without any worry.
I'm awaiting a reply located in the Community News & Feedback part of the Forum. Hopefully I'll be able to upload it for everyone to share.
Regards,
Relayer

P.S. If they do allow me to upload it, I'll do a small tutorial on how to use it.
