Landing Pad

When starting Vega Strike for the first time, the Landing Pad is the in-game screen you encounter first. 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 serves two functions:

  • It is your access into the base. Moving the cursor around the screen will cause the exits to become highlighted. Clicking on the Concourse exit, for instance, will take you to the Concourse screen.
  • it is your departure point when launching a ship into space. To launch into space, double-click your [LMB] 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.

General Notes

  • 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.
  • Also the locations pictured here do look quite different on the various stations and planets you'll visit for sure 8)
