│ OVERVIEW │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
It is basically a trading/battle space game, the player receives a
flight path, (a list of planets he will frequent) and the player
must buy and sell strategically...For instance, Hothor, being a very
cold planet, will buy heating units at a very high price, and will
sell Ice Units at a very low price...
But...Best of all, the game is fun to play!
Features:
** 26 completly unique worlds. Very unique - for instance, special
shops and houses are only found at certain Planets....No where else.
** Lots of inter-user action.
** GISCCFG very easy to use setup program.
** Configurable. (Registered version allows sysop to set Stellar Warps
per day number) (Standard is 8)
** Player Editor in GISCCFG.
** Enemy Editor in GISCCFG. (This means you will probably be able
to download new Enemies.dat files also...Or just create your own!)
** Powerful in game mail writing routines.
** Auto resetting when the game is over! (unregistered games will never
end) And the "Peace Child"'s name will be entered on a scroll in the
Schoolor Library. (Found on Schooloria oddly enough)
The reset will automatically take place the day after the game is
won.. Right before the first player of the day plays.
** Players are auto deleted...When a player attacks someone, and cannot
find anything to salvage, he is 'destroyed' (deleted). (at this
point the player is actually better off starting over)
** Players take an average of 10 to 15 minutes to play a day, and are
forced to call back the next day..(Works great with an active message
base!)
