Nothing is more fustrating than to worry your fledgling empire up to 11 or so colonies and then 4 of them break off... Happening routinely to me nowadays, how can I stop this? Even tried a game at full auto and it still happened.

Any help would be appreciated!

<t> Okay, been playing since Origen off and on and here's the list of problems that I'm experiencing:<br/>
<br/>
A) When flying fighters with my mouse and selecting rockets, the first 4 of so fire off when I use the right mouse button, then it won't work again! That has happened several times ...

Playing 4.0, still isnt working for me...

<t> My character is a Lt. Commander and I've had messages saying I can transfer to Cap ships but when I go to the screen that has the "transfer" button, it's always greyed out. I highlight all fleet units in the drop downs and still not functioning. <br/>
<br/>
Is the game to be just a piloting ...

<r> This is a big problem..<br/>

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Thanks, but i'll have to do that just to *complete* the mission alive, forget about gaining rank <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
But there is a solution I've just found!<br/>
<br/>
When you're wracking up the kills but it looks bad for the ...

Gee, Matti, you impress me as the type of person who crosses their "t"s and dots their "i"s too much. Relax, enjoy the posts and resist the urge to correct the universe. Just makes you look... fustrated.... [:-]

<t> Ha, I was on a mission in the Jolec-(sp?) sector and after much fighting I looked around for the Archon.. and it wasn't there! I found it in a completely different sector, the one that began with an M.. No way to get there that I could figure out. <br/>
<br/>
Any thoughts on that one? <br ...

Just revisited the game, I'd estimate it was on day 8

<t> It was a sweep mission, I'm not sure of the exact day, I want to say 22, but that's a guess. The first waypoint put next to one of those Gate looking things, then as I it shift insert to speed to the next encounter it put me into the gate thing itself and my wingman blew up on the outside of it ...

<t> Thought I'd start a thread mentioning some tactics that I've found that are working rather well...<br/>
<br/>
1. Vector missiles for the win. Those have tremendous range and almost always take out an enemy with one hit. The Phoneix seem to be sensitive to countermeasures and should only be ...

In the second campaign there is one sweep mission that has waypoints 1, then 8, then 9 and has no baddies in it.

The version you get at the Origen's convention is Starshatter 4.0

<t> Okay. I'm a newbie too, but I've played the full version which I got at Origens 2 days ago and I'll try to answer your questions with my experience.<br/>
<br/>
1. As far as real physics goes, there's two ways to "fly" your spacecraft, arcade and the more accurate physics mode. So far I've been ...

<r>Is it normal for a starting out group in the Deep Core campaign not be able to hit anything very well? I understand my team are pure novices, (Like me!), but wow, I more often than not end up shooting myself. <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
Will they get better over time? And if I do manage to get any ...

<t>Just a minor rant, it really makes Matrix look cheap when they make a quality game, charge a quality price and then skimp on the jewel case. You may have saved yourself a quarter, but you look like a second rate game provider....<br/>
<br/>
That said, wow, nice game. One question for you, I'm ...

Thanks, I appreciate the help... Slowly getting a little lighter

<r>Guys, I picked up the game yesterday and I am so fustrated I'm about to toss in the towel. I need some basic help. Here's the scoop, from an outsiders perspective, this game is totally mystifying. I've been in the tutorial trying it over and over. I get to the point where I call an attack on the ...
