<h2>Loading and Saving Games</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Games can be loaded from the title screen. When there are
|
||||
saved games available, the option "Load Game" will be shown.
|
||||
Selecting this will show a list of available games to be loaded.
|
||||
Select a game from the list to load, you will then be taken to
|
||||
the Intermission screen. To go back, selected Back to Main
|
||||
Menu.</p>
|
||||
<p>Games can be loaded from the title screen.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Games can be saved in two ways. The first way is to save a

|
||||
icon and select it. You will see a list of five game slots that
|
||||
can be used to save a game to. Click one of these and then click
|
||||
the "Save" button to save the game. The second way is to use the
|
||||
Auto Save function. This will automatically save your game after
|
||||
you have successfully completed a mission. To make use of this
|
||||
feature you must choose a save slot that you wish to auto save
|
||||
into. This can be done on the title screen in the options section
|
||||
or on the intermission screen at the options section.</p>

you of tasks that need to be performed and what planet these

tasks apply to. Once the player has decided which task they will
|

perform, they must go to the corresponding planet in the system

<h2>The Target Arrow</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><img src="arrowNorthEast.png" align="left" alt="Target Arrow">
|
||||
The Target Arrow can be used to locate enemies and point you in
|
||||
the direction that the enemy craft is. You can toggle the Target
|
||||
Arrow between three mode by pressing "T" on the keyboard: Off,
|
||||
Mission target only, and All targets. This arrow is very useful
|
||||
for finding enemies that are evasive (such as transports) on
|
||||
missions that require you to destroy all present craft. Simply
|
||||
follow the arrows to find the enemy. The arrows will not be
|
||||
displayed when you are within the immediate vacinity of the
|
||||
target. On certain missions (such as Bosses) the mission target
|
||||
arrow will initially point towards a certain target that is part
|
||||
of the mission objective. The target's current remaining shield
|
||||
is also displayed in the bottom right hand corner of the
|
||||
screen.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Moving Around Systems</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To play a mission in Starfighter you must be stationed at the
|
||||
relevant planet. To get to the planet you require, you will need
|
||||
to click on the planet whilst viewing it on the Show System
|
||||
section of the Intermission screen. Travelling between planets
|
||||
can be dangerous, but luckily Spirit is a peaceful place and
|
||||
there are no chances of interceptions, so travel is
|
||||
instantaneous.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Other systems are not as friendly and whilst travelling to a
|
||||
new destination the player runs the risk of being intercepted by
|
||||
a WEAPCO patrol. After Spirit the player will select a planet to
|
||||
to select a planet to
|
||||
travel to by clicking on it with the mouse. "Destination",
|
||||
followed by the planet's name will appear in the bottom right

hand corner of the screen. A new icon labelled "Go To
