Default Questions

I own SE IV Gold and have just recently downloaded the Star Fury Demo. I have a few questions regarding play.

1.) Is there some kind of strategy you can use for mines?
2.) In the full Version can you adjust the difficulty levels?
3.) In the full Version can you board and take ships?
4.) In the full Version can you command a flotilla?
5.) In the full Version can you invade planets?
6.) In the full Version can you cloak?
7.) In the full Version can you carry and launch Satellites?
8.) In the full Version can you communicate with anyone in space or call for aide?
9.) In the full Version is there an auto pilot that will allow you to travel from one base to another and adjust for obstacles (like those hard to see asteroids & planets) If not is there a control to turn on my headlights? .))

This an action game, your strategy is not to fly onto them!

2.) In the full Version can you adjust the difficulty levels?

Yes, almost any level can be modded.

3.) In the full Version can you board and take ships?

No. Not yet at least.

4.) In the full Version can you command a flotilla?

You can only use fighters and order them to fly in formation with you.
Quote:

5.) In the full Version can you invade planets?

No. Planets are only used for Ship handling, Resupply, Trade and Mission/Campaign handling.

6.) In the full Version can you cloak?

There are components related to cloacking but cloacking itself will be implemented hopefully in the next Version release (or so they say).

7.) In the full Version can you carry and launch Satellites?

No.

8.) In the full Version can you communicate with anyone in space or call for aide?

Conversation is very dull. You only receive random Messages from a list.
They are, however, different depending on Race, Friend/Foe and Ship status.

9.) In the full Version is there an auto pilot that will allow you to travel from one base to another and adjust for obstacles (like those hard to see asteroids & planets) If not is there a control to turn on my headlights?
There is no autopilot in this Version.
You can only adjust the amount of lighting in the game throught the dedicated keys.

Cheers.

Escort Ships and Satellites can be spawned just like fighters if you want to mod it that way.

The ships would be hard to do right, but the sats could be quite nice. Mix some code from the sats and fighters, and put them up for sale. Then get a fighter bay, and start deploying sats. They'll be recoverable too.
