Game Help
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Galaxy 5! This file is here to help you get started with the
game. It will give you the basics of how to play, what to do, what you can
and can't do, etc. etc., and give ya a few tips. If you wish (and if your
SysOp allows it), you may download this file (option #2) for future
reference while not online.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS
-----------------------
When you first start the game, you are given a certain amount of "stuff."
What you get will depend on what type of character you choose to play. There
are 3 types of characters that you can choose, Assassin, Star Pilot, or a
Con Artist.
ASSASIN - If you choose to be an assasin, you will be given the first
weapon available, the first armour available, one power move
(which can be used against enemies on the planets), and a little
more strength and defensive strength than the others.
STAR PILOT - If you choose star pilot, you will be given the first space
craft available, enough fuel to make it to one planet, and
pilot skills of 5 (pilot skills are needed for piloting a
craft).
CON ARTIST - Con Artists are kind of like thieves. But they are also
attractive people, which means you start out with looks of
10 points, and a little more skill than the others.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOVING RIGHT ALONG
--------------------
The first thing you will probably want to do, is "(F)ind Something To
Kill." Upon killing an enemy in the warfields, you gain skill, any money
the enemies you kill were carrying, strength, and defensive strength. This
is one of the best ways to gain these things, but it can also get you
killed if your not careful! :)
After you use up your fights for the day (if you're still alive), then
you'll probably want to deposit all of your money in the bank (its also not
such a bad idea to deposit your money in the bank every now and again, since
if you get killed, all the money you are carrying will be stolen!). At the
bank you can deposit and withdraw your money as you need it, and even give
some to a friend!
As you gain skill, when you reach certain amounts, you will be
confronted by a "Warrior Droid." You must battle this Warrior Droid in
order to move up one rank. If you lose the battle against this Warrior
Droid, you will not die. It is just a battle to test your abilities.
The inns on each planet are a fun place to hang out. If you are more than
a level 1 player, then the bartender will even talk to you about a few
things. You can also flirt with an employee at the inns!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
XPORTING
----------
If the SysOp running Galaxy 5 has any Xports installed, then you can
"Xport" to another place by choosing "X" from the main menu. Xports are
places created by other door programmers as add ons for Galaxy 5. These
Xports will allow you to do all sorts of different things!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
KILLING OTHERS
----------------
Here is a fun part! Killing other players is one of the nicest features
of the game. If you are successful in killing another player (or players),
then you will end up stealing all the money the player had in his/her
pocket, and you will gain skill points. But if you get killed, then the
player that killed you will steal all the money you may have had in your
pocket, and gain a little skill of his/her own! After making a kill, on
the same day you will be allowed to post a thought on the Black Wall. The
Black Wall is restricted to only those who have killed another player in
the day. But anyone can observe the black wall, and read other players
thoughts that they have posted.
If you choose to kill a player that is playing the game at the same
time you are, then you will indulge in an online real time battle! You will
send your command to either attack or run. If you attack, then the results
of your hit will be carried out, then the other player will be given the
chance to attack or run. While battling in online battles, you also have
the option to send a message to your opponent so you can tell him/her off,
or whatever! :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAIL
------
Sending mail to other players is a good way to make friends or find
enemies, and even get together with a player of the opposite sex! :) If you
send mail to someone who is playing the game at the same time you are, then
that player will receive your message as soon as you are done writing it,
and he/she can reply to your message, and send it right back to you in real
time! You can also quote the messages that you receive, so that when you
reply to them, the other person will remember what it is you're replying to.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECRETS
---------
Well, all I can tell you here, is that there are some secrets in the
galaxy that you can discover, but telling you wouldn't be any fun now
would it? :)
