Tried the Demo and have these questions, thank you

[tinkthank]

Thanks very much for that reply.

Just a quick follow up if I may:

- You say there are no hidden rolls, just a question of hit or miss? But there must be, since otherwise the business of "shields" and "optimizers" wouldnt mean much. But if what you say is for the most part true and plasma = laser = railgun etc., that is: these differences are cosmetic only, then that would be a pity.

- Just tested (in the demo, anyhow), and once you get the hyperdrive, you can sell the FTL-drives of other ships and teleporting still only takes 2 days.

- See what you mean by firing from the broadside; so what does "arc of fire" mean??

- Does the Digital Download include the manual as a .pdf?
- The order screen says

Important: This game is delivered as an .ISO disk image file. You must have access to CD burning software that will allow you to create a CD from the image file.

I DLed a few other games (such as GalCiv2), and these were self-extracting .exes or wizards. I don't know what ISO is, but I have winXP, and it has a built-in burner. Is that sufficient, or is there special software required for ISO?

Thank you very much
