I've noticed you've used a lot of shorthand names for ships, races and suchlike, and I was wondering if someone could explain. I've worked out IT, SS, SD, IS, AR and the like - they're the primary racial traits. But could you explain the rest?

Oh, and what is Accelerated BBS (i've never worked that one out...)

A game parameter which can be checked when the host creates a new game. It is usually checked, as it speeds up the start of the game. Mainly, it gives you more colonists to start with...

Ok. No I knew where to find it and everything, but I'd never worked out what it was for - so you're saying it just gives everyone a head start.

so you're saying it just gives everyone a head start.

Almost, but not quite. Go to the Help file -> Intro/Contents -> Setup/hosting -> setting up a Single Player game -> New Game Dialog -> Advanced Game -> Step 1 -> Accelerated BBS play

Or just search it for "BBS" Twisted Evil

How I wish there existed an HTML version of the Stars helpfile! Rolling Eyes



So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal

That would be nice. Cool The automated "hlp to html" tools I've seen tend to mangle things too much. Hit Computer
