Title: Stuck in ur-quan kor-ah conflict! help! Post by: Scurvee on June 08, 2005, 01:40:23 am Can anyone help me out here? I'm stuck in ur-quan space with 5 little combat bubbles beneath me and an endless amount on the way. I can kill as many kohr-ah or ur-quan as I want, but I've been killing them for hours and every time I get back to hyperspace I just get sucked into another combat! How do I get out of this?! I saved over my game when I entered into combat and my last save was from like 10 hours ago!
If I could somehow just move my ship 5 degrees to the right when I exited combat I'd be fine! Thanks for your help. - Scurv Title: Re: Stuck in ur-quan kor-ah conflict! help! Post by: Deep-Jiffa on June 09, 2005, 01:02:54 am Just kill them, eventually you will get out of there.
*spoiler* Try using the warp device when you can. If you don't know what I am talking about, forget about it :) /spoiler Title: Re: Stuck in ur-quan kor-ah conflict! help! Post by: Blah on June 13, 2005, 02:51:50 pm The same thing happened to me, too. It really sucks. I only have 1 Earthling and 1 Spathi ship with me, so I can't last very long in combat, and I run out of fuel long before I can escape from all of them. Looks like I have no choice but to start over...

The first thing you should do, is to build up your precursor ship to max speed & turning rate. Title: Re: Stuck in ur-quan kor-ah conflict! help! Post by: Scurvee on June 13, 2005, 03:33:17 pm Doesn't matter how fast your ship is, you never get the opportunity to move once there are four or five bubbles underneath you. I got stuck in this situation because I was trying to visit the zot-fot-pik in their solar system and when I exited I was immediately sucked into battle.
I eventually had to hex edit the saved game file to manually move my ship over 20 spaces so I could get the hell out of there... really annoying. - Scurv Title: Re: Stuck in ur-quan kor-ah conflict! help! Post by: Blah on June 15, 2005, 08:09:46 am You wouldn't happen to remember what values you changed? Or where I could find this information?

I would really like to know how to edit it as well, as I'm stuck in the same situation.I have a hex editor, so all I really need is what values to change into what or what the numbers indicate, so I can do it myself. A location in the Sol system, for instance. Title: Re: Stuck in ur-quan kor-ah conflict! help! Post by: meep-eep on January 30, 2009, 12:02:27 am If I'm not mistaken, it's the first 8 bytes in the save game: 4 bytes for the x coordinate, and 4 bytes for the y coordinate, in native byte order.
Be sure to make a backup before editing. |
