Novenia News Update :
The following play guide information is only relevant to the Spectrum version of Starglider 2.
(1) All planet colour referances should be disregarded.
(2) There are no stompers on DANTE due to galactic energy shortages.
(3) The age old power lines on broadway no longer exist due to a fatal collision with
a Space Pirate ship which had suffered severe damage after doing battle in orbit
around Millway.
(4) The tunnel networks have been cleared of all defensive energy barriers and iris doors
after constant complaints of traffic congestion from local inhabitants.
(5) Tunnel exits are not indicated by coloured markings as they were considered to be an
eye-sore.
(6) Fire and Flee Missiles have been replaced by the more efficient high energy pulse laser.
When activated, the laser behaves in exactly the same way as the fire and flee missiles,
and only four charges can be carried in the launch tube at once.
(7) The Icarus does not have a rear view option due to lack of space.
(8) There is no audio analysis system because in space no one can hear you fly.
(9) Geoplasmic Emission Refuelling is no longer possible due to the new ecological
policies of the inhabitants, who insist that Icarus uses ozone friendly
gases instead.
