New player. Question about Passengers

MageMatthew · Post by **MageMatthew** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 9:12 pm

Hi all.

I have a question about navigation coords.

If i dont know the station etc off the top of my head. How do the coords they give help me figure out what sector they want and what location inside it.

I know the starting sector is 0,0,0

How do i look at the coords and figure out what sector i should jump to to be in the right area?

I want to say a big thanks to the wonderful guys who helped me on multi player on the weekend when i ran out of fuel right by the station

If i remember right i think they started with SW in thier names. My call sign was Wild Turkey and thanks again.

ps Is there any way to change the font or size of it?

It will always be a trade station, not a constructor or a carrier. Use the quadrant map to determine the system you need to travel to, the station will usually be within a few sectors of the target system.

The quadrant map.

Yup, from the instructions:

To customize the font used in the game, create a text file in the game's folder with the filename setfont.txt and in the first line, enter the name of the font you want to use. In the second line, enter the size of the font. In the third line, enter a value of either 0 or 1 to use normal text or bold text. In the fourth line, enter the character set you want to use for different languages (default is 1). The font needs to be installed on your system and be compatible with the game's text system. If the game is unable to use the font, it will default to a standard font.

Thanks Vice for the help I noticed you posted lots of helpful stuff around here.

The tip for the text worked like a charm. Still messing around with fonts and sizes but it worked nice and easy.

I had read most of the Instructions but missed that part . Wonder what else i missed

I also surfed the forums for a couple days before posting hoping i was not reposting a same question for the 100th time.
