Ironseed cheats / Ironseed hints / Ironseed faqs / Ironseed solutions Ironseed hints How to Start The Game. ---------------------- You are asked to select a space ship and 6 crew members. Well....It doesnt matter which you choose on the easier levels, but keep in mind that you select a good space-ship, which : a. Has at least 6 (or more) gun-posts. b. Can carry at least 500+ Fuel. c. Has a cargo-space for at least 150 The Crew Members. ---------------------- There are 6 crew-members,You can select them with the fuction-keys. F1 : Psycho(path?), this one will communicate with aliens and will enable modifications of your crew. F2 : Engineer, the most important member of your ship, will build and control everything. F3 : Scientist, will explore planets and travel to a planet in your current sector. This dude will also give information about planets in your sector. F4 : Security, needed to attack or defend your ship. F5 : Astrodude, will travel between sectors. F6 : Medic, save, restor, encode/decode etc... Settings. ---------------------- The first thing you do when you enter the game, is to go to the medic and the paper-icon, this way you can set the screensaver, autosave en animation OFF, dont forget the animation, you dont need it and it just slows down the game... Invention. ---------------------- Press the screw-driver and your crew starts research, after a while the crew gets a higher experience-level so you can start making more objects. You can only do research when the crew isnt doint anything else... Objects. ---------------------- Elements : You can find them on planets. Materials : Exists of elements, you can find them, manufacture them, or trade them. Components : Exists of other components or materials, you can build them of or get them after you destroy a enemy ship. Device : The main goal. Exists of components or other devices. Collecting Objects. ---------------------- Use your probots to scan the planet (scientist-icon), but first check if there are aliens present, if there are aliens they will probably blast your probots and thats not something you want ! Check all 5 options. After the scanned the planet, you might have some objects located (press the retrieve option), green dots will be present. Go to the engineer and click the bot-control-icon, here you can select the objects and put them into the cargo-bay. If you leave a Minibot or manufactorer (also in the same option, you can collect more objects. But this will only work after you travelled to other sectors! But try to leave a bot on as much planets as possible, this way you will get loads of elements/materials. *note: Some planets can not be reached (aliens might live there with a powerfull shield). *note: NEVER send a probot to a STAR. only send them to planets! Contacting Aliens. ---------------------- When you found an alien, you can communicate with it , by using the psych-dude. Presse the alien-option and type TRADE if you want to trade. There is also a SHIP-communication option, but that one only works if there is an alien vessel present. This way you will know when to attack ;) Installing Objects. ---------------------- When you have weapons or shields available (you have to create them), you can install them. Go to the engineer en presse the object-icon. This way you can select a place to put them (a gun-post) and select whether you want a shield or weapon installed. Install them as fast as possible, because sometimes an alien attacks before you have a weapon! Attacking Aliens. ---------------------- This is a nice thing to do, because defeated aliens leave components into space, this is a much faster way then building the components ;) a. Arm weapons b. Raise shield (when available) c. Masking ON d. ATTACK When in range the weapons will fire automaticly. just use the controls to fly towards the aliens, but whatch out for CRUISERS or FRIGATES, they are a little bit more dangerous then shuttles and fighters, so best way to defeat them is to be at 400000km away from them, so you can use long distance weapons. Traveling. ---------------------- After you scanned all pleanets in a sector you can travel to another sector (use the astro-dude). Select the planet you want to travel to (starmap) and presse the flame-icon. If you have enough fuel, (if not you have to build a FUEL HULL you will go there. Travelling between planets in the same sector is done by the scientist, just press the secot-map, click a planet and click the fire-icon. Dont forget to ask info about the planet (icon next to the starmap! LOG. ---------------------- The scientist has a nice logfile which contains all sectors you have been, if they have cargo ready for pick-up, where the aliens are etc. Use this log to decide where to travel to!
