Setting/story/description for STARSHIP 2
PLACE: Ice Moon Verte, Andromeda Galaxy
TIME: 2333 A.D.
STATUS: Escaped Prisoner
After your escape from Starship:
A search of the shuttle's on-board computer reveals the location of the
only habitable location within the shuttle's limited range. It is a
secret supply base on the Ice Moon Verte. Hopefully, the base will be
deserted because to gain shuttle range you were forced to jettison all
surplus weight....including your weapons:[

*** HOW TO RUN "STARSHIP 2" *** (with the reg. version of Quake)
- you 'may' have to allocate 16 megs to Quake. Info on changing
that is in your Quake>techinfo.txt or see below.
As per following diagram, create a directory in Quake parallel to Id1
named 'moon' and extract the pak0.pak contained in 'starshp2.zip'
directly into the moon directory.
* DO NOT extract into the id1 directory *
C:\QUAKE
|
+--- ID1
| |
| +--- MAPS
|
+--- MOON---pak0.pak
|
Start quake with the parameter: QUAKE -game moon
THEN...pull down the console (by using the ~ tilde key)
]skill 0 <--- or 1, or 2
]map starshp2
**Win95 EXAMPLE (also allocates 16 megs to quake):
Quake properties>Program>Cmd Line:
C:\QUAKE\QUAKE.EXE -winmem 16 -game moon
NOTE: Most major SP Review sites have detailed info on how to run
add-on levels and pac files if you have any problems.

+++ SPOILER WARNING - READ NO FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT HINTS +++
* Getting out of the first area can be tricky... look for bubbles
underwater and there you'll find a chunk of iceberg you can push.
Then you'll be able to make the necessary jumps to the cave opening
just above the lake.
* Once you've jumped across the icebergs to the cave opening you'll
find an elevator that takes you to an high area overlooking the lake.
There you will find a control box... step on it directly, you should
get a message saying, '2 hidden doors are open'. Go back to the area
where your shuttle went through the ice. Below the ice a door has
opened where you can find a secret. Above the ice a door has opened and
you must enter into the cave there.
* In the cave wall is a sensor that will alert a patrol ship that will
arrive shortly. At the end of the cave is a door that requires a silver
key. The silver key will be on the patrol ship.
*In the room beyond the silver key door you can take a lift up 1 floor.
In the upper room there is a switch that will unlock the door back at
the high area overlooking the lake [where the control box was].
* After the door from the high area you'll come to a girder bridge.
Down in the water-filled gully below...and to the left is a little cave
you must get to. Also, directly below you [under the walkway] as you
enter this area is a secret spot with a weapon and items you will need.
There is a secret spot on top of the bridge also.
* After going through the cave in the gully, you'll be faced by a bunch
of icy steps. You may need to move to the lower side of some of the
steps in order to make the jumps up them. At the top of the steps
you'll find a little room with a cave leading off. Take this cave and
try not to fall when you get to the lower end of the ice chute. But
rather, try and make the jump across to the other side. Follow the ice
ledge around and jump through the opening in the rock above the door.
[If you miss and fall you can head down the path and take a lift back
to the bridge area, then circle around and try again]
* Once through that door you'll see the enemy base on the left. Make
sure to kill all monsters in the area and then the 'flyer' [the
enforcer was on it] will return to it's resting place on the ice. Very
occasionally a monster will leave the area so you must hunt him down if
the flyer is still in the air. In the ice is a fishing hole... go
through it and you'll find a secret area with a biosuit/etc. and across
the pond from there and behind some icycles is a switch that will
unlock the flyer's security switch.The icycles can be broken to swim
through easier.
* Ride the flyer to the upper part of the base. There in a Robotron
repair room you'll find the silver key that will open the base's main
door.
* Through the main door and to the left is a cell area were you'll find
the gold key.
* Go back and straight past the main door and you'll find the gold key
door. After that you'll find the rocket room and a switch on the far
side of it will call an elevator that comes down back near and just
outside the door to the rocket room.
* Leap off the lift as it goes up and onto a large steel pipe. At the
end of the pipe is a switch that will lower the sleeve on the vertical
pipe by the switch. Ride the sleeve up and jump off and push
the upper switch before the sleeve squishes you to the ceiling. Now
you can make your way back to the lift and ride it all the way up.
* Find the switch on the far wall and it will lower a platform. Ride
the platform up to another switch and that switch will extend a ramp to
the rocket's entrance. You'll have to jump from where you are to that
ramp. Go all the way into the rocket. The End.
