A Short Intro to the game!

When u first start u have to choose your Avatar, the name u want to have and which server
to play on. Scorpious is the older server and have more players active mostly. Phoenix is
the other server. Once u choose a server u can't change it (if not creating a new
character).

Now u have to pick the character by cliking it and click the  "play" button.

In game a window will popup where you may choose your "race". Choose carefully cause you
can't change this later on. The races are:

ESCHAR: Bonus power regen
TERRIX: Bonus offense
GI'POK: Bonus hull points
KALARIX: Bonus defense
TEKORUS: Bonus hull regen
HUMAN: Bonus psi regen

After u picked the Race a new new window will popup where you have to choose your
"class". It can be changed later in the game but not until you reach the level
of 70. The classes are:

SMUGGLER = SMG: they can cloak
TELEKINETIC = TKR: they can teleport
PYROKINETIC = PYR: makes Uber damage
TELEPATH = TEL: can summon the strongest entity (a helping ship)
MERCENARY = MER: can take most damage
ENGINEER = ENG: can repair all ships

The you may choose a faction but they are not active at the moment (haven't been for a
pretty long time). Just pick "Cythris system".

Okay, now welcome to the game!

First click the "INFO" button under the "SHIP" button at the down middle of the screen.
At the left down side is a window called "Stats". There you have 3 skills called
"Str", "Int" and "Dex". Under them you have 15 "Stat Pnts" to use on them as you like.
You will get one more "Stat Pnts" each 5th level. Put at least so many points on Int so
it will be 25.

Str = Gets you more hull
Int = How fast you learn skills
Dex = Better on offensive and defensive

When I started my first character I was in the Newb place called Academy (training
ground). When I made this "Beginners guide" though I started in the "HOR = Hall of
Restoration". You only need to drive down to the pad to get into the academy. Do so if
you not are in Academy at start. To drive hold down the right mouse button, at the way
you want to go.

Now switch back to "SHIP" button.

Now if you take a look in the cargo you will see some weapons and a shield. Move the
shield into the "Shld" box at down left of screen. You will see a timer (red numbers)
counting down. When at zero/nell it has been installed on your ship. At right top of
the screen you can see a green bar under the Avatar looking like a blizzard. It is the
Power and is needed to recharge the shield and the weapons after you have fired them.

When the shield is installed a bar showing the shield shows up under the power bar.
It will refill automatically as long as you have power and same thing is for the weapons.
The power bar will refill itself.

Now move up to the next room. Click the ships in the room (left button) and a text will
appear. You can type the blue text and it will talk or give you something.

Important things you not should allow yourself to run out of are "fuel" and if you use a
launcher "missiles". Fuel recharge your power and without it you are a easy target. You
can also be sure to drive slower than a snail's pace.

Now, lets go kill!

You have a scanner at the down right side of screen. Turn it on by clicking once on the
"Scan" button. Enemy ships are red on the scanner, unknown are white and friendly are
blue.

Press the "Alt" button and hold it down. You will now see a halo around other ships if
you have them in visible range. The Halos shows the enemy ships strength towards you.
They are:

Dark green: very weak, no experience
Light green: weak, very bad experience
Blue: slightly weaker than you, bad experience
Silver/White: as strong as you, okay experience
Yellow: slightly stronger than you, good experience
Red: Much stronger than you, Uber experience

As you hold down the "Alt" button you can also see how much power, psi and hull you have.

To attack a mob (enemy ship) just right click it.

When you have reached level 4 in the academy its time to move on. Go farthest north you can
and kill the exit guardian. get the key it drop and leave the academy to north.

Good Luck!
