Tutorial 1 - am I just impatient?

September 18, 2007 11:24:08 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
I'm doing tutorial 1. I get to the point where I drag select my fleet... the cap ship and frigates. I then move my fleet to the body at the end of the jump line. The frigates move much faster than the cap ship which is concerning, but I imagine there is an advanced option to normalize fleet movement. My fleet gets to the end of the jump line and nothing else happens. I'm sure that there is more to the tutorial. Am I not being patient enough?

Have you tried the grouping options? The little arrows on the bottom right side of the interface ?

There is plenty more to the tutorial. Its been a (long) while since I bothered with the tutorials, but try telling them to jump to the next star, maybe thats what you're being asked to do...

Somebody, help?

It sounds like a bug. You were only supposed to move it to the end that is in the gravity well you are in. It will then ask you to do a few more things and then make the jump (unless you are talking about the jump). We gave up polishing the tutorials until closer to the end of the game because the game is changing too quickly.

Thanks for the replies. I figured out the problem. When the tutorial asked me to move my fleet to the "end of the connection line", I thought it was talking about the "other end" where the unexplored body was; thus I made the jump a few steps before the tutorial was ready for me to jump. It was asking me to gather my fleet where the connection line intersected with the gavity well of the home planet. I'm not sure how to word the tutuorial to prevent confusion. I managed to finish the tutuorial; onward to tutorial 2.

Perhaps if the tuts are on the back burner for a bit then someone can write up a quick, and dirty basic game play tut (updated with the changes), and sticky it for the time being to avoid situations like this.
