Hey hey, pilots! How is it going?

So, I was looking, again, for a new space game when I heard about Evochron: Mercenaries. I just bought and downloaded it. Seens very nice with alot of options. Thou I'm still learning how to play, tought it would be better to ask the vet guys about some game mechanics.

First: the FTL/Hyperdrive jump

Sometimes I set the waypoint, but it ends leading my ship to a totally different point of the map. Would a new one bring me better results?

On the topic, when I accept a mission and use the drive, the system says that I failed the to acomplish it. Do I have to fly with cruise engines + afterburner until I reach the waypoint?

Second: Ships

Is there pre made ships around or I have to mount every hull? Don't get me wrong, I love the feature... The problem is that I suck at design... :p

Ah, one more thing... Mining. This quation can be totally newbie, but pls, have mercy... :p

I installed a tractor beam in my ship. Headed to an asteroid and shot at it pressing B. I didn't saw anything in my cargo. I know I'm doing it wrong, but...

I'm also looking for a MP server. Any good around?

Thanks and regards

Hi wade, welcome to the game and forum.

On the jump drive it depends on the class of jumpdrive. Class 1 can only jump 1 sector at a time and class 5 can jump 5 sectors at a time. When doing a contract you do not have to set a jump point, you can just jump to the waypoint set by the mission by pressing F2. If you jump out of the sector, I believe that is what is happening, the contract will fail. You have to finish contract/mission within the sector and cannot leave the sector till mission completes.

As you progress and gain wealth you can buy more advanced ships and weapons and design them to your liking.

As to mining you have to get within 150 units from the astroids and make sure your cargo bay is empty and that you have one installed. It takes a while to fill up one cargo bay with a certain mineral....

Hi and welcome Wade.

Hop on to the Remula 1 server and you'll get a lot of help.

When using the nav map you nust RIGHT click difectly over the icon. This does not apply to Planets.
When making the jump, DO NOT USE ALT+F2. just press F2 only. That should solve most of your problems.
As for ships, they come "stock" and you can outfit them as you like within the parameters of the ships capability. If you have a ship with 2 fule tanks and 2 cargo holds, etc. and buy a bigger ship all the features from the previous ship will be transferred to the better ship.
As for mining, you must get closer... much closer, somewhere between 100 & 150 meters. When you see the 'sparkles" from the mining beam, you are close enough.
Remula One seems to be the main server atm where you can ask all the questions you want and anyone will be glad to help you.
Good Hunting
