Hey dark,
I'm glad you asked here, and now that I know it was you, I can help. Do
you have a pack for SC? Their is one for VIP, and once we're done
updating the one for VIP, I'm going to port it to mushclient. The
reason I couldn't say this to you on newbie, is because the staff don't
like players talking about packs on the game. Once our pack is approved
by the staff, we can though. If you need the pack for vip, I can drop
you a link. Now for your questions.
I'm guessing that you didn't have the pack, so combat was a ton harder
for you. With the pack, you'll see the following:
tracking <enemy>
<direction>
In SC, their are two ways to lock on to an enemy. Coords and vectors.
My guess is that you had coords selected as your preferred aiming
method. I use vector aiming. W is north, A is west, D is east, and so on.
For aiming up and down, I do aim -s, or +s. Remember that sine S is at
the center of WASD, it tells the game to aim either directly up, or
down. You can change this with aim +w, aim -x, and so on.
Let me know if this helps, and if you need the pack. Hope you decide to
give the game another try with this information.
Mike.

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.
