Ok, I have an intelligent question this time.
Are you going to make that manual (after you're done with the multiplayer plug of course) for Hera, that is more descriptive and helpful then the documentation?
Hope so.

I'm considering it, but the only format at my disposal is Simpletext.

Heh, doubt you can help, and I plan to report it a bug if I can't find a triger or the new beta doesn't fix it. But you have any clue what would cause one level to error -2 and kill all strings.

Slug, what is the reason for life? And why do you abuse your power changing other people's posts JUST BECAUSE IT AMUSES YOU?!?
And why don't you go sniff some powdered dog poop?

Why do you complain about people spamming your advice topic when you can kindly post a reply asking them not to spam, or delete/edit irrelevent questions?
Or maybe it was my fault since I was the first to post a dumb question...

How do you beat Mission 4A on Iron Fist?
There are three planets in the system: Vamos, Gaitor, and Dramis. As soon as you capture Vamos, the aitori will build 4 flak drones around Gaitor (in between the orbital battlestations, so Gaitor will now be guarded by 4 drones and 4 bunkerstations). Send a transport to Dramis (the planet on the other side of the system, past Gaitor) and personally pilot it around the flak drones and bunkers. When you capture Dramis, the flak drones will self destruct and a bunch of Gaitori ships will jump into the system.
Now just wait. Save yyour resources and built a GIGANTIC armada of escorts. When you feel you have enough firepower to defeat 4 battlestations, about 20 gunships and at least 3 Heavy destroyers, throw everything you have at Gaitor. If your fleet is destroyed, simply build another one. If you're persistant, you'll eventually wear down their defences.
When you Capture Gaitor, that's it! You've won!

Why is the mission 3 about "Defend Obain" that is furthest to the right labeled "hard?!?" Its is SO easy. Your Obish Carrier and Escorts and Human Heavy Destroyers with "inferior" firepower can eat the gaitori ships for lunch. And when you build a second carrier...
And how do you get to the secret level?

On the level "We are the Champions", capture the outpost orbiting Gaitor and use it to build a Juggernaut (The Obish do have juggernauts, they're just easter-egg ships).
Viola! The mission should complete and you'll be taken to a level called "We are the Borg". I don't need to explain further except to approach the Cube with EXTREME caution.

Slug, could you please e-mail me the "fixed" version (where the resolution is 10 or whatever) of Black Seas becuase I can't find the White Knight in Hera and I have no idea to do what you're talking about.

That wouldn't be legal, because it's a release version. It's legal to modify something and keep the modifications.
It isn't Legal to distribute hacked files. Sorry, but I'm already in some trouble for previus hacking (how do you think I got back onto GameRanger? ).
