Hi Kelly.
All quantity screens in the game work the same way whether your picking up
stuff you find on a planet, adding fuel to your ship, doing repares or
buying and selling cargo.
Basically, There is one percentage slider. when it is at 100 percent the max
amount of stuff will be given to your ship. So for example if you needed
to repare 10 solar sales once the slider is at %100 you will repare all.
Likewise if you have a full hold and want to sell you need to move the
slider to zero percent to give everything to the sale.
Equally, if for example you had 15 metals in your hold ad space for 30
itemsthe slider would begin at %50 and you could either sell all your metals
by moving to 0 or buy 15 more buy moving to 100. It actually is a very
elligant solution to do interactions with just one control.
The sliders themselves are horizontal rather than vertical. Flicking a
finger up and down will move you by incriments (though sometimes this
doesn't work), however the most efficient way to interact with the slider is
to double tap and hold then swipe your finger left or right, though bare in
mind a big swipe is sometimes needed right to the edge of the phone).
I admit it took me a while to work them out but now I actually really like
the slider syste, it's much more efficient than say typing numbers or having
to find and tap numbers in a column.
Hth.
All the best,
Dark.

Subject: [Audyssey] Repairing Items in Star Traders RPG
Hi,
I just started playing Star Traders RPG on my iPod Touch. So far, I've
docked, fulfilled a contract at a palace, and have upgraded my ship with
some items such as some solar sails among other things. I'm now getting
messages saying that two of the sails are in need of repair. When I
double-tap on the "Fix sails" button, it brings up a screen with "buy",
"sell", two text boxes with dollar amounts, two more boxes with "0" and
"2" (which I assume is the number of repairs), and a slider.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to do anything in this screen. "Buy" and
"Sell" don't appear to be buttons, I can't edit anything in the text
boxes, and the slider stays at 0% and won't move. In short, nothing works
when I double-tap on it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to
proceed?
Thanks.
Yours Sincerely,
Kelly John Sapergia
