Running Vegastrike from the Command Line
Vegastrike takes a single command parameter indicating which mission it should load
.\vegastrike mission/explore_universe.mission
is an example of a valid mission call.
The -j flag (must be flush with the system) will force a player to begin in a star system.
.\vegastrike -jvega_sector/vega mission/n_vs_n/confed/confed_2v2.mission
will force the 2v2 mission to run in the vega sector.
Running Vega Strike In GNU/Linux
- Run vslauncher from the terminal
- Before beginning play, you must configure the program to your system. From the launcher, select OPTIONS, and configure the program. For an explanation of the configuration selections, see Config.
- to begin play, click on "New Game".
- Type in the name you wish to save to when you choose save at a base.
- Click "OK" and Vegastrike should launch. Be patient while it generates BSP trees for the system - this could take several minutes. Subsequent launches should be quicker.

Running Vegastrike In Windows
Recommendation: Make sure you have the most recent nVidia drivers. Old nvidia drivers cause problems with display lists and compiled vertex arrays!
- On Installation, you need to select the Launcher.exe program. Do so either by viewing the file in the appropriate directory, or from the Start Menu. Select and start Launcher program.
- Before beginning play, you must configure the program to your system. From the launcher, select OPTIONS, and configure the program. For an explanation of the configuration selections, see Manual:Config.
- To begin play, click on \"New Game\".
- Type in the name you wish to save to when you choose save at a base.
- Click \"OK\" and Vegastrike should launch. Be patient while it generates BSP trees for the system - this could take several minutes. Subsequent launches should be quicker.
The default mission (explore_universe) is recommended for an introduction to the Vega Strike trading universe. To get the default mission you need not select a mission initially.
Also, you can sometimes \"drag and drop\" the mission that you want onto vegastrike (not the launcher, but the vegastrike.exe itself.)
