Does anyone have any ideas how to start out, cause I haven't a clue on how to start, except for following the manual quick tutorial instructions.
[/b]

That's my standard beginning:

Choose your Instructors: cheapest pilot, medium scientific and builder, no fighter for now.
Research sats and mining droids. Deploy Sats. Research and build a Sat Carrier. Deploy sats throughout the whole system. Research everything that will be offered. Build at least one Transfer Ship.
The first part of the game is mostly about money. Colonization is pretty expensive.
First colony IMO should be Mir (place a miner station there before colonizing), second should be Penelope (again use a miner station before building a colony). (You have to "discover" both of them though)
Take care of your colonists. In this thread you can find a post about the infrastructure and its relation to population. You must build in advance, if you get messages about lack of food or housing, you already lost thousands of colonists and their taxes.
If you discovered Jade send your Transfer Ship. This will trigger the main storyline of the first part. The race is on ;-)))

Hope this helps a bit.

If you have Windows XP, you can use

rightclick 'START.EXE' and choose Properties.
You should select de memory tab.
Set your "EMS" memory at '1024''

ans start de Start.exe from your normal windows environment.
(Still can't find how to fix the sound though)

DosBox and VDMSound are always better then trying to run the game in Windows enviroment, IMO.

Im a bit confused.. I've played, and a bit with the help of the guide..

I did manage to set up the Kall to fight the Morgals. Further I found some tech at planet2 moon2. (or was it moon 1? somewhere there )

Now I have only been attacked one time by the morgals. Further, the planet Jade does not appear to be in system1 anymore, though the spy reports it exists.. I only have the trooper unit to do ground attack and that aint enough to attack the morgal's main base (they have about 120+ and keeps growing) whereas I only have about 80.. The development of more troopers takes too much time :S In space I have no worry's..

Am now in year 2930 and have 3974276cr on my bank account :\

Can someone give my a pointer? Im quite desperate right now

IIRC you have to go to the bar and talk to the informant (the guy near the bartender). He will tell you something about a planet with an advanced civilization in the 2nd star system. Meet them and help them, DON'T do it for money. They have something to share with you which should solve your problem.

Hope this helps

Thanks a bunch! It indeed helped k: :brain: !

Only I progressed to far in time that the morgal's come with a pretty large fleet and kills me quite a bit maybe I should take a save game further back in time.

(I still wonder why Jade has suddenly disappeared from my 1st starsystem )

That's strange indeed. Never happened to me (and I played lots of games). IMO Jade's moons and their resources are essential to fight back the Morguls.

In your first post you wrote that you set up the Kall to fight the Morguls. I never managed that. Did they actually fight each other? In my games the Kall and the Morguls always work together and defeat the people who gave me the battle tank plans. (Even if I wiped out the Morguls before. In any game there is a message that the Kall and Morguls defeated the "Tank race". Always wondered how the Morguls achieved that, having no planets or fleets anymore).

i been searching forever how to get the aircraft and it was as simple as speaking with the barman and asking, i wondered why the first time i played i had it, LOL, well i am still missing one tech development located under destroyer right of solar plant left of ion cannon and above cruiser

dont know what it is, but im missing it, though doesnt stop me from destroying the earthlings i have 60 destroyers so air was no problem and 60 missile launchers and 60 aircraft and over 200 battle tanks so the destroying earthlings where easy, but when i destroy them the game shuts down. not sure if the game is suppost to just quit but i use xp with no sound to run it.

i was so surprised to see people still play this game like me, good old games never die ^^ i had 30 destroyers to deal with the morgral they where easy to fix too. i even let there 4th wave come just to see them crumble LOL

my ground tactick is with the morgral is to bait them, as such

Use one unit of trooper

Here is how i arange it a little diagram X = Tank O = trooper K = enemy tank

X
O L
O L
O L
X

after you bait and destroy the tanks on the side you retreat and come back ^^
