Landing Pad
 |
On first starting Vega Strike, the first in-game screen you will see is the Landing Pad. On first landing at a base, the Landing Pad will usually be your first view of the base. Note the ship located in the foreground. This is your current ship. At the beginning of play, this ship is the Llama; a good, general all-round cargo hauler capable of defense and limited offense.
The Landing Pad is the player's portal into the base, and is the screen to be in when intending to launch from the base.
The Landing Pad serves two functions:
- Access to the base. Moving the cursor will eventually highlight the Concourse exit. Clicking on the location highlighted will take you to the Concourse screen.
- Launching. The Landing Pad displays your current ship. To launch into space, double-click the left mouse button on the ship.
Concourse
 |
On arrival at a base, station or planet, most pilots will want to perform any number of various functions. These functions include browsing for new missions, replacing or upgrading weapons and ships, trading any cargo they happen to be carrying in their holds, or just having some rest and recreation. The Concourse serves as the primary interface to all other base locations. A newly arrived pilot can find it all starting from the Concourse.
The usual locations are:
- Cargo Computer - to buy and sell cargo.
- Mission Computer - to select missions and view the latest news.
- Weapons Room - to upgrade your ship, purchase a new ship and view character information.
- Bar - have a drink, chat to the locals and view the latest news.
You may also find uncommon and rare locations, viewable just for the scenery or which may have bearing on a mission you might be undertaking
Be aware that certain bases have the Landing Pad integrated with the Concourse. Where this is the case, all operations can be performed in the Concourse.
