First the autopilot does not stop for me when it goes where I tell it
Even if you stop in the right star system it is easy to miss all the planets. Are there any charts in the game? Are there commands that help with this?
When you beam down and I could not fire the weapons when I aimed at the creature. Once again the controls are awkard here.
Does anyone have any advice?

Each of the four characters has a variety of skill potentials that can change only two ways:
If your whole crew dies the game will automatically replace them all with clones with completely different stats.
Or if one of the characters dies, you can re-clone them yourself. These determine how well they perform certain tasks eg. William's nagagation skill must be 90 or more to attain a speed 6 with a hull size 1 ship. He will then also be more likely to enter the star system of your choosing rather than make stupid mistakes. I recommend re-cloning all of the characters until they reach their full potential. You can even clone them while they are alive and it will simply replace them.
Here is a link for the manual in PDF which includes a map.

Finally, when you aim at an enemy the number shows the percentage of damage potential this shot will inflict. If it says 0 then you're out of range or there is something obstructing your way. Generally, unless you re-clone William, Nelson and Osai; Katya is the only decent shooter of the four. Nelson's not too bad, but you really can't rely on them at long ranges.
I'm sorry if I've rambled on and on, but I truly loved this game as a child.
Now the reason I'm on this forum is that I'm looking to download the awesome music from this game and can't find it anywhere. If nothing eventuates, I may have to record it all myself and convert it. If anyone can help me, please don't hesitate.
