OK, so the first mission involves flying around to several waypoints, two of which involve fights and the other two involve navigating asteroid fields. Oh the taunting! I forgot they taunted you! I was grinning at that, which probably threw off the Kilrathi pilot who is Snapchatting with me there. But at the end of it, I walked away knowing a lot more of the commands and could actually fight worth something. It’s definitely not a cakewalk tutorial, let’s just say. I think it took me six tries? You die once during it (which is surprisingly easy to do) and you have to start all over again. So this was a very instructional session with the game as I ran the first mission over… and over… and over… and over again. Yup, that’s the kind of hero I am - the rebel that dares to daydream during an important mission briefing! I also looked up some of the keyboard commands so that I’m not a total star noob (maybe one day I’ll be a citizen?). I’m back in the cockpit as Ace Acerton, Space Ace, after a few days off and some tweaking to the game’s DOSbox settings that I found in this guide.
