The missiles are more powerful than the Energy Cubes. The bombs are more powerful than the missiles, even. The Time cubes (as they are more accurately called) are just a more powerful rapid-fire weapon to replace your wimpy default lasers. Anyway, I used to have an IFF diagram of the whole solar system with tons of hints on where everything was, but it's buried somewhere in my files. You must pick up an Emma2 on a certain, specific moon of Milliway. Any on the correct moon will do, and I suspect that it has to be the first one in the game you pick up. Anyway, now for my question - by using the cheat mode I got everything in the game and then sat waiting for them to complete the Space Station. They finally put all the pieces together (it took almost an hour!) but I kinda expected something to happen once it was finished. So I waited a while longer, but nothing - so, I nuked the station. They just started building it again. What is supposed to happen when you finish the game? How do you finish the game? Does the game simply not end in cheat mode? Do you have to go through it all by hand to get something out of the end? I don't have that kind of free time any more! . <<<>>> -- |Ben Scott, professional goof-off and consultant at The Raster Image, Denver| |FIDO point address 1:104/421.2, bscott@isis.cs.du.edu, or BBS (303)424-9831| |"Spent 4 hours burying the cat!"
