How about just a current help file? When I used to play Stars, I think the help file was updated with each patch, but I'm not sure.
I quit playing Stars and went to Everquest where I could roleplay to my hearts content. Years later, looking for some strategic depth I've returned, reinstalled the game on my new machine and applied the most current patch; SURPRISE! No help file access. Huh? 
OK, I find the v2.6b help file download on the Stars Autohost archives (thanks Ron!) and it helps a little, but it's awfully dated, some of the concepts (like fuel mass) just don't even apply anymore, which leaves serious doubts about the rest of the content. Any suggestions, anyone?

Works for me. Press F1 when the game's on top and running. I have 2.70JRC3 as my main Stars! version. IT pop up with the Player's Guide its not the manual but its close. (aw they so cute and tiny those little stars! versions dey only take up a couple megabytes on my 20 and 40 Gigabyte Hard drives.) My manual, I might add, has numerous typos and word errors, as well as all the tables in the back of the book being completely screwed. The antimatter torpedo is listed, in not one, but get this, TWO different summary charts, one of which isn't meant for missiles, but only has them. It's sad.

Gible nicely provided me with the PDF file. If anyone else would like a copy I'll e-mail it to anyone who wants it... and anyone who can accept e-mail of just over 3 meg. If you can't then I have some webspace that you could download from - it'd be slow as hell but possible.
Just let me know if you're interested.

Well poo... yet another geocities policy I don't like.
The problem is explained here

If you copy and paste the url to the IE(or other) address bar it should work...does for me...also from textpad.

what did you download again, the rar program or the manual.zip file?
|
the rar program, and since the first of January they have an upgraded version for download.
You might want to try the zip file download again, if you haven't already.

I have tryed to get the manual... However I am also reciving an error message. Is there any other way to get it?
|
Perhaps telling what error message you received would be helpful. If you are having pdf problem, or rar problem, or what error?
If people are having rar problems, perhaps a zipped version of file would be more useful to some? The size is not very much larger when zipped, a couple hundred k, I believe.
