Secession first time player walk through
________________________________________


This bit of text is designed to allow even players that have never used a
combat sim to be able to clamber into the cockpit and fly the missions.

Killing by Numbers:
1:      To load the demo type "SECDEMO" from the command line.
2:      Select "Begin Demo Campaign" from the menu.
3:      Enter your name at the prompts, your surname will be the name of your
        pilot save file when you come back later.
4:      Use the mouse to wander around the Carrier. In the room you start in
        is two terminals, the one on the left allows you to look through the
        ship database, to see some of the ships you will be coming up against.
        This is not a definative list, some ships are introduced later, some
        come as a surprise to the Belt and UEA. The right hand terminal lets
        you see your report sheet on how well you are doing.
          The room to your left is the sleeping quaters where you can change
        pilot.
          The right hand room is the briefing room. On the far wall is the
        current mission briefing, telling you what the fight is all about,
        what you have to save, what you have to kill etc. The table infront
        of you is the mission holo. It gives you a list of your charges (the
        ones you have to protect) and your targets. Your targets flash red and
        your charges flash green.
5:      To launch, go through the door on the right of the briefing room. You
        will see the ship you will be flying launch from the hanger. There
        will then be a brief descriptive cutscene.
6:      Once the mission starts tell your wingmen to Break and attack by
        pressing SHIFT and B.
7:      Then target your nearest enemy by pressing R.
8:      Fly to where the cross points until it is front of you. A yellow
        verticle bar means it is an enemy, a red one means it is friendly.
        A red horizontal bar means that it is targeting you.
9:      When it is in your sights, open fire with your main weapons (SPACE).
10:     You can use your missile by pressing enter.
11:     The best way to do this mission is to take out all the fighters first.
12:     Sooooo, after you have taken out the first fighter use E, R, or T
        (see key guide) to target another.
13:     When you have taken out the fighters, go after the big ships.
14:     It is best to use your speed as best you can. Fast attack runs are
        very effective.
15:     Get everyone to focus their firepower on one big ship at a time by
        targeting one of them (T, E, or R) and pressing SHIFT + K.
16:     You can take out the turrets by shooting directly at them rather than
        the ship in general or using TAB to target them individually.
17:     Press TAB a few times and target a turret near to you and, if you
        have a missile left fire that (RETURN).
18:     When you have killed all the enemy, your computer should inform you
        that you have completed the mission (unless you let one of the
        transports get killed). When this happens, press H to hyperspace out.
