Things you can do in single player mode:
- Fly around with the WASD keys. (see also controls below)
- Target things with the mouse and "goto" them, or goto near objects.
- Fire with the space key.
- Shooting an asteroid until it explodes will give you some iron (look in info -> cargo).
- Fly to the nearest base and buy another laser with your iron.
- first collect a bit of iron by blowing up asteroids (or pirates)
- fly to a planet (or station), and rightclick it
- from the menu select trade
- a trade dialog opens where you can buy weapons
- to use weapons you bought, you first need to equip them
- to do that select from the menubar at the top : info -> cargo
- in the cargo dialog click equip next to the weapons you bought
- Now you have two lasers to shoot asteroids with.
- There's some pirates, but they sleep until you attack them.
- You can look inside your ship, and walk your little lego man around.
- while inside, you can place furniture with rightclick menu
- You can leave the ship in your space suit and get back in (unfortunately you can't seem to board other ships).
- you can launch a fighter and dock it back to the mothership again
- You can jettison your cargo. It appears as a box. You can shoot that box, but you can't pick it up.
- It's possible to fill up your ship with goods at one base, fly to another and sell them, but as all the prices appear to be fixed and identical, there's no profit to be made. (Ghoulsblade 22:37, 10 August 2007 (CEST) : they are all the same currently, sorry, we're already working on missions and stuff like that)
- if your hull is damaged and you have iron you can repair your ship by rightclicking a planet or space station
- you get iron from destroying asteroids and pirates
- you can design/edit ships by choosing "shipedit" from the main menu (start with -se commandline to avoid flicker/checker bug until we fix it)
- ships used ingame are figher.lua and firefly.lua, you can overwrite them with your ships and walk around in them.
