    More help please

    Ok

    I jumped to the Leesti system and using the above help
    managed to kill 4 enemy ships attacking me.
    One ship fired off two missiles and I managed to shoot
    them out before they hit my shit. That was pretty cool? My question is how do I
    find a place to dock? Do I keep flying to the blue planet
    and encounter a space station there? I just want to save
    but it won't allow me to until I dock.

    Thanks

    Yes you just head towards the planet (lock it on your radar)
    When there is no one else around you can boost towards planet by pressing 5th bottom icon from left.
    When you cant boost any further you will see mass locked and the station should be near
    Using radar again lock onto station.
    Hope that helps

    Thanks alot

    I docked and saved. I really like the game considering it is a remake
    of an old classic. The only thing is it takes forever to dock it seems
    and to fly to the planet.

    I guess I should save up for a mining laser and cargo scoop to get
    some faster cash to buy other goodies I am guessing.

    Aiming is challenging but, rewarding when you do it.

    Thanks

    gemineye62, yeah it does take time to arrive at a station. It's been a tricky tradeoff, and we're still thinking about ways of improving this. It's usually faster to go as close to the station as possible before hitting auto-dock.

    Great to be able to play this on iOS, amazing the leap from BBC model B to iPod!

    If you like old school code you will love this project

    Has this been pulled from the App Store?

    Are there plans to bring it back?

    It does appear to be removed. I didn't update to the latest version when it was updated on the 5th for ipad compatibility which means I might have lost my chance :(. I wonder what happened.

    Superb, such a genius game, fond memories of playing this aged like 7 or something, having no idea what I was doing and saving over my brothers' beloved saved games.

    Looking forward to seeing the port to iphone, might suggest including auto-dock as standard to lower the bar to people unfamiliar with the genre!!
