Sightseeing</A>

<P>
You can fly through all the domes on planets without a breathable
atmosphere and land between the buildings. If you do this for the
transparent domes at Ross 154 you will find in one dome administration
buildings of Vega Line, Sirius Corporation and other trading houses and in
the second dome the usual combination of concrete blocks and green patches
in between with scattered brick houses. It is definitely fun to fly between
the buildings and look at your surroundings. Agriculture domes are a bit
boring, because they contain nothing more than lots of green balls at ground
level.
<P>
Domes that are not tranparent, can be entered too but contain absolutely
nothing. It is interesting, that they are no obstacle for you though. At
least they are good for some very strange graphical effects if you land in
one of these domes and use your outside view to look at your surroundings.

In every major city with more than the space port and a little industry you
can find little churches with working clocks. The cities are structured as
large blocks of ugly concrete buildings and patches of green between them
with scattered brick houses and every now and then a little church. Try to
rough land in the vicinity of such a church and watch the clock on the
church steeple. Use time acceleration for better effect. If you are close
enough you can even read the roman numbers on the clock face. The buildings
give you an interesting impression of the size of your ship. A Cobra MK III
looks huge compared with this tiny little church. And have you ever seen a
huge space ship standing in the graveyard behind a church? It looks
definitely strange.

At some time in the future I will look for one of the bridges you can see in
the intro sequence of the game. This will be my last action before voluntary
retirement. A kind soul already gave me the tip to look in the near of New
San Francisco on Earth, Sol [0,~0]. Do you really want me to retire?
