Warhead/Walkthrough

These are the on-screen notifications you will receive during gameplay.
 * PwS (Proceed with Sortie): Announciator seen in the beginning of each mission. Press L to begin mission.
 * NOr (New Orders received): Press M to see new orders.
 * FMO (Fresh Message Outstanding):Same
 * IcM (Incoming Missile II):

Mission 1
This is the first mission and therefore training task; simply launch and follow orders.

Press M to see your orders then F to return to the main view. Now press L to launch.

As soon as you launch you get a new FMO, press M to see the orders to take the ship away from SolBase. Press F to resume and just left-click the mouse to gain some speed and fly outside. Try not to lose sight of the SolBase.

Soon a new FMO will appear, to return and stop near the outermost Navig Marker. Press F to resume and 9 for full stop, and try to navigate towards the SolBase so that you have the Navig Markers in your sights. Point the outermost with your crosshairs and press Space to select it (perhaps it will help to press Z and zoom-in). Now simply press 6 to autofly there. Once the craft stops press left-click a few times to approach it and receive your next orders, to dock with the base.

Now the tricky part (which must be repeated in every mission) is to approach the base keeping in alignment with the markers. Simply try to thrust forward until you are close enough. If you aren't aligned correctly, you will simply crash onto the base.

Mission 2
In this mission the craft is supplied with a quad-space drive which you must test by jumping to Earth.

Press M to see your objectives, then F to resume and L to launch.

You don't need to navigate in this mission at all. Once you are outside, press S to access the solar system chart. Either find and click on the planet of the 3rd orbit or (more simply) press Space and type Earth. Once Earth is selected, directly press Q to jump.

Now you are transported to Earth orbit. There is nothing there to do other than observing a tech ship. You receive a message that you must return to SolBase. Again press S and now either locate the SolBase or Space and type Solbase. Again press Q.

Locate the SolBase in your sights and perform the docking procedure.
