Re: Prometheus back online!
Okay I gave the game a try. The soundpack worked, though I do seem to be getting the odd error, but I'm afraid I'm still finding a lot that is confusing.
I did debris salvaging and that was relatively straight forward, however when I took a package delivery, I was told to go northeast out of sector 3. I jump to sector 3, only to find that my ship can't fly in one direction without some component I'm not high enough level for.
So, I sit there and hit 9 a number of times like a mad german, whilst not noticing my coordinates change at all (indeed the coordinates out of sectors seem a bit confusing).
Whenever I try to look up upgrades or shops, I'm told "you don't have a hypernet browser", and when I type help "hypernet browserr", I get nothing.
speaking of ships, I can't even get the coordinates thing to work. since when I type move 0 0 0 I just get a ponk.
Finally, I give up on package delivery and decide to try combat, and (as the game said), do the training mission, because it's listed as one of the things I can do at status 1.
I go to the training mission, scan the x-lor ships, and keep trying to fire, however they keep blasting me, I lock onto them, and whenever I try to shoot I'm told "out of laser range" even when they are listed as having a distance of 1.
Indeed, when this said "training mission", I was expecting some sort of tutorial, not just to get shot at.
I quit the game after a good while of getting blasted and not being able to fire back, because I suspect my character is about to die, and I don't know why.
This is exactly what I mean about confusing newbie experience, heck, even trying to find out what to do as a newbie I only got by the activity requirements list. Indeed, I wonder if I need a better ship, or better weapons or something for combat (though again I do not know because the game just does not have the information necessary to tell people what to do.
