FAQ
Q: What is this?
A: This is a simulation/transport game that let you focus sending traders around to their destination.
Q: How do i play?
A: You start as a pilot, you will be able to choose a gender and then choose one of the 3 transport ship. You have to look around the map, plan carefully which way to go if your ship uses a fuel system. Planning also gives you advantage for earning minerals and reputation (Gas).
Q: Colors?
A: Colors play an important role in this game. There are 14 platforms (colony) in this game, each has an unique color generated to them randomly. A red platform for example will generate traders with the 13 colors except for red. You will need to transport "Red" traders to "Red" platform.
Q: Can i see their color when loaded in the ship?
A: Yes, their border will be highlighted with their color, if you are unsure you can always mouse over the unit inside the transport and see it's name. It will be something like xxx (RED).
Q: Do you need a tester?
A: Yap! I would appreciate any tester [: If you can submit a replay while playing with others i will give you credits to my map.
