Re: Echo Quadrant
Answering your questions...
The keyboard shortcuts are mentioned in the main menu instructions:
Z - Select fleet
X - Purchase ship
C - Available Contracts
V - summary info
Yes, the quardrants vary in size, from 3 to 5, 7 and 9 units. So the largest playing area is 27 by 27 systems in total.
Most menus don't make use of all of the 16 possible lines, so you should hear a quiet, blip, blip, blip as the mouse or cursor moves into an empty slot. Having 16 lines in each menu, made the code to control it simpler, but it leaves some empty spaces. Be aware that some extra info appears in the players financial information menu, when the end-game is triggered.
The space bar can be used in two places. One is to quickly exit from one of the multi-page databases by pressing space when the cursor is over the, back, area. The other is to move an item in a database to the end of the list.
I will copy and paste the in-game help into the next co mment.
To answer Ciao: There is a maximum limit to the number of each ship type allowed in a single fleet. I haven't tested the game to destruction, but it's possible that increasing battle damage tends to create its own limit on the maximum size of a sustainable fleet.
The game is open ended. You can decide whether or not to trigger the final scenario, if you have a sufficient total population in your colonies.
