Reviving a very old topic. I am currently running the game but I have not noticed any differences between this version and the talkie version from GOG which I also have. Is the Movie and Sound Pack standard installed when I run this game through DosBox? |

Light and Darkness isn't too bad; just remember to fix the radar dishes (and scan them and their consoles) prior to entering the complex and also scan the outside of the complex with both tricorders. Also, clean the equipment before making the sample, and don't insult or intimidate anyone in the dialogues. This one I found was pretty flexible as long as you did the actions properly and in the right order. Voids was far more of a challenge for me to get 100% on. I was unable to find 100% guides for "Voids", "Espoir Station", and "Light and Darkness", but "Voids" was definitely the most challenging for me. Also, I play the version that gives you only commendation points at the end of each mission, but from what I've seen, it looks like 100% = 4 commendation points, so my information is for getting 4 commendation points. Also, in my opinion the voices definitely make it worth it to play through the whole thing again, even multiple times. They definitely add A LOT to the experience, and the many different paths you can take on each mission just make it even more amazing. |

That's a pitty, but I expected something like this. Well, maybe I will go to play it all over again - the voices make it desirable. Anyway I'm still annoyed about the fourth mission "Light And Darkness", where I can't reach the 100 % at the mission rating. The last time I even followed a guide, which told me how to choose the right answers, but it didn't help. [Picard]Suggestions?[/Picard] |

DarthHelmet86 | I doubt you will be able to use them. Talkie and non talkie version aren't normally compatible like that at all. But I can't say that it 100% true though...but from experience you are going to need to play the talkie version from the start or just finish the non talkie one. Sorry. | |

I've started to play the version of the game, that I got from your site, but now I did get my fingers on the talkie version. The problem now is, that I'm already in the fourth or fifth mission and it seems, that I can't use my savegames from the normal version, because the game then crashes. But I would really like to use my savegames. [Picard]Suggestions?[/Picard] |

2. There are 1-3 ships, this is also random. 3. Most of those scenarios are difficult, but should be beatable. 4. Remember about a simple trick. Lock on to an enemy and get them into your target... AS LONG AS NO ENEMY HAS YOU IN THEIRS... fire and immediately press any of the buttons to talk to the crew. The combat will pause, but weapons cooldown will not be affected. This can get you out of situations like fighting three Klingon Warbirds. |

FrodoSam999 | This game is intended to run in plain old DOS. You need to open the folder where the main game program (RITES.EXE) is located. Right-click on RITES, select Properties from the menu, then select the Memory tab. Under Expanded (EMS) Memory click on None then select Auto or 1024 . You the game will have a MB of RAM all to itself. To make the sound and music work run SETUP.EXE. Choose Roland SCC-1/General Midi for Music and Sound Blaster Pro for sound effects. The music will speed up/slow down constantly if you're multi-tasking. | |

If Scotty said "We're off course, captain!" you didn't read the star map and should restore a game and start over. The Elasi Pirates are unbeatable, btw. |
