Ok. Here we go, I'll try to explain this. It told you in the tutorial,
but hopefully I can explain this.
When you want to fight something, move to the enemy. So, M and then pick
the number.
When you get within one unit of them, type track. Pick the number, and
you'll start tracking. Depending on what target tracking array you have
installed on your ship, you might lose your track. If you look at your
status, you'll see that the stock target array will only keep track of
your targets 75 percent of the time. THis can be upgraded with better
arrays.
Once you've got the enemy tracked, type aim <direction> or, if using
coords, aim <coords. I use vector-based aiming, meaning I use WASD to
aim. Once you've got your lock, you just fire.
I think it takes some time to get used to it, as it's not the same as
promotheus and miriani. As to needing a pack, you can try to do it
without one, but I think it's needed for this game. It's up to you.
Just use lockmode to change your preferred aiming method.
Mike.

Hi.
No I don't have a soundpack. I'm not against the idea, but really the
game should be playable without.
I was! actually fighting rats when I got hit. I also don't know what
you mean by "vector based combat" I was trying! to aim with the
directions like 7 for north and + for up, but it didn't seem to work
whenever I tried to aim up, also actually finding where the dam rat
was to attack it was a struggle sinse scanning took such a long time
to say the coordinates it was at and tracking only kicked in sometimes.
An explanation of how combat might work against a rat might help, eg,
do you target first and then track? or do you do the track command?
and when is scan useful?
All the best,
Dark.

Hi dark,
Do you have one of the sound packs? That helps because you don't have
all
the extra talking of unimportant text? Secondly, don't use coordinate
based
combat. Use vector combat. What that is hit the number 7 to aim
northwest
or 9 for northeast etc. as a new pilot do space combat with a group.
As a
new pilot none of your ships are strong enough to do a single beacon. As
someone new learn to fly in manual mode stick to rats ground combat
salvage
etc.
I plan on art art to play again and would be willing to help out.

Hi.
Well I have asked this on audiogames.net so might as well ask here.
?
Promethius I find a little incoherent for my taste in terms of
activities
and what not, miriani I don't like the idea of all the pvp and
license to
grief, so I decided to try star conquest. I have heard the bit about
the
enforced rp and profile creation but I thought I tried that, however
I've
not had a game where I've failed quite so badly.
?
I did the tutorial and talked to the new pilot lieason office and
did the
tasks he said. Expooring and salvage were fine but combat was a real
pest,
mostly because there is no quick way to get the coordinates of the
enemy
and by the time you've heard the computer saying "rat automated
starship at
3 4 5 " the bloody thing has likely moved, ---- and no I am not
rewritng my
entire mud client just to play one game with all the scripting and
such, I
have no idea how to do that I just want to play not program.
?
I did try ground combat and that was cool, accept I got my battlesuit
blown up which I freely admit was entirely my faultfor not bailing fast
enough.
i then quit the game and lost my cargo hauler leaving me with two
sets of
massive bills and no ship. I just about! had enough for a flitter
which I
bought, and tried a little combat again, and got completely
slaughtered,
particularly sinse the aim + command for aiming up in combat just
didn't
work, I was told "select a direction on the z axis"
?
How the hell does anyone! do combat in this game?
?
with no money, and no ship I was stuck (nd I couldn't get a lone either
sinse I kept getting refused), and the only advice I got was go and
beg on
alliance channel. People were actually very nice on the newby
channel, but
didn't really have any suggestions.
?
I'd rather not make myself a pain to other players especially when i'm
learning a game and making so many major mistakes, so I deleted my
character.
?
Given however that a lot of people do! play star conquest, I wonder,
how
the hell do people do it? am I missing something about combat? or
does it
take all that scripting nonsense, ie, the game is not accessible
without
massive amounts of work.
?
Any advice appreciated sinse I really want to play a space game, I did
enjoy the background and some of the activities, but I am frankly now
rather frustrated.
Back to alter methinks.
All the best,
Dark.
