I had just gotten to the 10th planet on Captive (the space station)
and thought I was just about done....  I found the person to rescue,
I thought, and then....  I found out there's a mission #2!  Does
anybody know how many missions there are in this game?  I was amazed
it kept going.  When does it end???

Also, does anybody have any good info on the dev-scapes?
I've experimented some with all of them but can't figure many of them
out.  The list is:

Basic: ANTI-GRAV
   II: SHIELD (is this useful? it doesn't seem to help much)
  III: FIRE-SHIELD
   IV: GREASER (what the _heck_ does this do????)
    V: POWER-SAPPER (is this as useless as a "darken" spell in Dungeon
       Master??)
   VI: FIXER (it seems clear what this should do - but I can't see that it's
       doing anything at all)
  VII: RE-CHARGER (very useful)
Super: DEFLECTOR (very very useful, but at least equally expensive to repair)

And finally, along similar lines, does anybody know what exactly the
VISON-CORRECTOR (optic VII) does?
