Hints:
Backwards landing intermission sequence:
To get an intermission sequence featuring you landing on a planet backwards or
sideways, move between the docking rings "pincers" and stop. Turn so that you
are facing away from the planet. Dock with the docking ring. You will get an
intermission sequence with you landing backwards. Note: This only works with
planets.


Easier battles:
For slightly easier battles when attacking, select a hostile ship as your target then
ignore that ship. Focus instead on the other hostiles but do not select them as a
target. Even though they are not selected you will still be given the blindfire
marker (the crosshair you aim with), although it will be smaller. Sometimes an
untargeted hostile will just sit there, waiting to be shot. Other times, it will remain
on a straight course and will not maneuver too much. The AI will eventually catch
on to you and will alter its techniques or will send in more ships. Also, you will not
be able to use missiles like this.


Finding secret bases and jump holes:
When you are looking for hidden jump holes to other systems, turn on your Nav
Map, then select the "Show Patrols" map. The lines that appear show popular paths
that the AI ships use. Almost any path that stretches out beyond the normal trade-
lane traffic of a star system will lead to a hidden starport or even a hidden jump
hole. Fly out to where the line leads to and turn on the "Solars" option on your
targeting computer. You will usually find a place of interest. However, in places
with reduced sensor ranges you will probably have to rely on visually looking for
something. Also, to find all the paths, make sure to look at the "neutral", "hostile"
and "friendly" paths in the patrol paths map. Be wary of stumbling upon an
enemy's base.
