I must be mad

Here's what the tutorial ( dlsrv01.moddb.com/6ffc2bdb133c69c8b1b0c3...rnstars_tutorial.htm ) says:

"Fly over to the cyan blue SNRV. Press CTRL-C to start a communications session with the SNRV. Follow the prompts to hire the wingman. You will need his help to haul cargo pods."

First question: What is a cyan blue SNRV?

Second question: CTRL-C does nothing remotely like bringing up a communication screen. It just cycles through targets.

Third question: Am I really that dumb?

Sorry, my message got a bit cut off. I meant to start off with 'Hi everyone! I have an issue with Torn Stars...'

Hi Cyrusblack,

SNRV is a type of cargo ship. The are like space version of a flatbed truck. They are rectangular shaped, with room for six cargo pods on their top. They are cyan blue in the 'contact list'. Cyan blue contacts are contacts that can be communicated with. You must be within 20klicks before attempting to communicate.

CTRL-C should bring up the communication dialogue. If not, try CTRL-K. Make sure you are within range and targeting the correct ship. After a communication, the ships' contact color will revert to yellow. You can still communicate with them however.

No, not at all!

Try that out.

Thanks, Cambragol.

Also, as it turns out, my issue with Ctrl-C was because my mouse.ini file wasn't based on Torn Stars. Easily fixed!
