== Я не могу отключить навигационную консоль (nav console)! ==

Следуйте инструкциям в оранжевый цвет в верхней части навигационной консоли текст и нажмите Shift-M (as in capital 'm', AKA 'M'), чтобы включить навигационную консоль или выключать.

== Я только начал игру и хочу перейти в другую систему, как мне туда попасть? ==

Buy a [[Terminology:Jump Drive|jump drive]] (approx. 10000 [[Terminology:Credits|creds]]), target a jump point with {{Key:EN:N}}, fly to [[Terminology:Jump|jump point]], which are marked by your ship's computer as green wireframes, and press {{Key:EN:J}} when you are near enough (distance 0 meter)

== Okay wiseguy, so HOW do I make MONEY? ==
* You should read the [[Manual]] and
* Follow the [[Manual:Tutorial|Tutorials]]; but you could try
* Starting at the Oceanic Planet, where they sell stuff like ''Natural Products'' at a low price. So go to the [[Manual:Computer:Cargo computer|cargo computer]] and buy stuff listed under ''Natural Products'' (like foodstuffs, water, etc); then
** [[Manual:Location:Hangar|Launch]] your ship; and
** Press {{Key:EN:T}} (All targets) or {{Key:EN:N}} (All large targets) until a Mining Base is targeted; and
** Point your ship that way, and fly there (press {{Key:EN:Backslash}} for full velocity then {{Key:EN:A}} to use the [[Terminology:SPEC_(-drive)|SPEC drive]]); then
** When near the Mining Base, press {{Key:EN:A}} again to deactivate the drive; and
** Aim for the docking clamps and dock by pressing {{Key:EN:D}}; so you can
** Sell your cargo for a profit (hint: right click on the Buy/Sell button to sell all of each cargo type); then
** Buy lots of ''Raw Materials'' (gems, metals etc); and
** Repeat the Launch to Sale steps back at the Oceanic Planet.
** Repeat until you can afford a [[Terminology:Jump Drive|jump drive]].

== How do I dock? ==

Another step by step (you '''really''' should read the [[Manual]]):
* See [[Manual:Docking|Docking]] in the manual; or
* Read the [[Manual:Tutorial|Tutorials]]; or
* [[Manual:Targeting|Target]] a base/planet/etc; and
** Optional (but polite): press {{Key:EN:0}} (zero), or press {{Key:EN:D}} in ver. 0.50 to request docking permission and to ''get the docking clamps displayed earlier''; then
** Docking clamps display as red or green squares - red means there's something between you and the clamp; so
** Pilot your craft into the docking clamps area. For planet: just fly some time into the direction of the planet; and
** When you're close enough that the green square is nearly filling your [[Manual:HUD|HUD]], press {{Key:EN:D}} to dock.

Red square on a planet usually just means that portion of the square is behind part of the planet/base... It probably means the docking square is being drawn just under the planet surface. You'll still be able to land. You do need to get very close to some planets (<45Km was the smallest I've seen).

== How do I get the multiplayer part to work? ==

We're working on multiplayer the basic framework is almost done, but it needs to be debugged, made to work, then made to work fast :-)

It's about 45-55% complete, but it's not complete... so no multiplayer.

There is, on the other hand, a split screen multiplayer, that allows multiple amounts of people to play on one computer.
In the multiplayer mission directory are some simple 2-player missions to try out with a friend. To modify 2-player configuration options, edit <code>vegastrike.config.2player</code> inside the base level of Vegastrike.

The key bindings are not perfect and are somewhat old.

So if you're really keen to have real multiplayer, learn to code well and help out :-)

== Some items in the weapon shop don't have a description and some of the communication messages are odd. The same for some ships/etc... Shouldn't there be some descriptions/improvements? ==

In general Vegastrike is (and will ever be) a 'Work in Progress'. Descriptions for ships/cargo/etc is one thing that isn't completely done yet.

Feel free to add new content to the game. For more info go to the [http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/ VS forum] or read the [[HowTos]] section.

== How do I buy fuel? ==

Go to [Upgrade Ship] -> [Miscellaneous] -> [Fuel].

'''Hint''': Fuel is often more expensive than Basic Repair... If you have lost fuel (if your fuel-bar is not at its maximum), then go to [Upgrade Ship] -> [Basic Repair]. That will usually save you money... But if you are at full fuel and you want more, then the only way to get more is to go to [Upgrade Ship] -> [Miscellaneous] -> [Fuel].

== How do I make screenshots in Vegastrike? ==

=== Vegastrike 0.4.3 and up (all operating systems)===
* There's now a built-in screenshot key to take a screenshot of only VegaStrike. Just press {{Key:EN:I}}.
* After pressing this key you will find the screenshots under different location depending on the operation system you use:
** '''''Windows''''' users will find a link to the screenshots in the start menu.
** '''''Linux''''' users will find it in the home directory <code>~/.vegastrike043/textures/</code>
** '''''Mac''''' users do this:
*** <code>open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app</code>
*** type <code>open .vegastrike043/textures</code>
*** Voila there are your screenshots.
*** If that for some odd reason doesn't work try <code>open .vegastrike/textures</code>
* See also [[Manual:Keyboard_layout:US#Camera_control|Keyboard layout: Camera control]] and [[HowTo:Take Screenshots]]
* This works only 'Inflight', not while docked to a base/ship.

=== Screenshots of bases & Vegastrike older than 0.4.3 ===
* '''''Mac'''''
** There's a great hotkey: {{Key:Apple}} {{Key:EN:Shift left}} {{Key:EN:3}}. To take a screenshot of a user-selected region of the screen, use the hotkey {{Key:Apple}} {{Key:EN:Shift left}} {{Key:EN:4}}.
* '''''Windows'''''
** Press the {{Key:EN:Print}} button on your keyboard and select paste in your favourite image manipulation program (i.e in [http://www.gimp.org/ GIMP] select [File]->[Acquire]->[From clipboard] For other programs see [[Links:Graphic Programs]])
** There's also a nice program called [http://www.hyperionics.com/ Hypersnap DX] for taking photos in windows
* '''''Linux'''''
** Open up the GIMP, and go to [File]->[Acquire]->[Screen Shot/Window], then select Vega Strike.
** This method does not work in fullscreen, but with the 0.4.3 screenshot key this shouldn't be a problem.

=== What to do with the screenshots ===
Please post your screenshots in the [http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/gallery/ gallery].

== When I am dogfighting the enemy ships nearly always try to ram me. How do I avoid that? ==

An answer from '''hellcatv'''
: ''A good tactic I use that almost never gets me rammed is to afterburn to the right of them for a bit...then PRESS TILDE {{Key:EN:Tilde}} to slide to the right. (and PRESS TILDE again to stop)''
: ''Then I glide right past them and can fire at them at the same time they do things like that too..but if you plow right into them there's not much that can be done.''

It seems the relevant keys are in 0.5.0: "," "." "<" and ">" .

== When I kill pirates which are not part of my mission objective, do I get rewarded for this or not? ==

Killing pirates makes confeds more friendly to you, which is a bonus.
Of course it makes pirates more hostile to you as well ;-)

== How do I scan stuff for a mission? ==

just fly near (~250km for planets, ~2500m for space stations and other ships, depending on the size of the object itself) to the object, and look if the name on the right (in the mission-todo list) turns from red to green.

== What's the tractor-weapon for? ==

* http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=871
* See [[Manual:Tractor beam|Tractor Beam]] in the Wiki [[Manual|manual]]
* See [[Terminology:Tractor|Tractor Beam]] in the database
* '''Important''': in VS v0.4.3 the tractor beam doesn't work until you install the [http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3532 Generic Cargo Patch]

== What's the number in the top-right of my screen? ==

The frame rate, the measure of how many times the display refreshes in a second. The higher the better. If you are using time compression, however, this won't give you an accurate reading.

== I can only hear sound but not music or music but not sound in Linux? ==

This is commonly caused by lack of a sound daemon or a good sound card.
* Make sure that you have a '''sound daemon''' such as '''''esd''''' or '''''arts''''' running.
* Make a file called <code>.openalrc</code> in your home directory and put in it the line: <code>(define devices '(arts esd native))</code>

Q:Подскажите как попадать на базу, как джамповать? 
A: Для того чтобы совершить прыжок - надо купить Jump Drive. Для этого придется полетать по базам. Стоит он около 10000. Продается в Upgrade Ship.
