How to restart the engines

Postby Chabs » Sat Sep 15, 2012 7:31 am

Heyo everybody.

I have this little issue with my savegame. After jumping to another star, I was given the chance to evade some enemy, but then the ship just got stuck in some nebula, with it's engine turned off.

IS there a key I need to press or some people I need to move to some specific room?

I still got good ol' Kestrel, as I haven't unlocked anything yet, and this was quiet a good start for me, so please help :(

Thank you!

Can you take a screenshot please? It would help to tell what's going on :)

Left click on your engine system (S symbol on the bottom left is your shields, the one to the right is your engines) to transfer power from your reactor to your engines. You should also probably power your shields :)

No problem. At least you got it squared away. Enjoy the game!
