where the hell is thallos??? i read that it's there we're supposed to go for the first mission but i just can't find it... please correct me if this is not where the first mission is supposed to be.

------------------

The game starts precisely where the first mission is. You can't miss it.

------------------

well...it turned out i left some plugins that souldn't have been there to start the game...i've wasted quite a good amount of time!

------------------

also, where can i "find proof" ?

------------------

OK, I forget where to find proof,but i have a different question. I have played (and beaten) this FH before, but it was about 3/4 of a year ago. I have taken Emlie to earth station, started the devore mission string, and got the poem book that says, "Spica, Baxter, ASAP." My only question is..."WHERE/WHAT THE HECK IS SPICA?!?!?!?" I've logged at least 1.25 hours looking for it, counting going to every system and buying a regional map. It's gettin' on my nerves. If you could tell me where it is that would be greatly appreciated, and then i'm on my way to my tatchonlink (misspelled) fighter. Thanks alot.

I believe Spica is north of Thallos. Where its exact location is, I can't say, for I haven't played FH for probably three years, but I've eliminated two-thirds to three-fourths of the galaxy. Hope this helps.

also, could someone tell me where is sosostris?
i'm having trouble with my screen and red arrows don't show up, that's a little setback when it's your only clue to find a planet in the whole galaxy.....

------------------

When you get the mission, someone/thing will tell you what system it's in. Pay attention next time.

WRONG!
unless i'm really stupid (but you can't underestimate that last possibility).

------------------

The map of the FH universe just entered my head, and I think Sosostris is somewhere close to the Sol cluster...to the south-west, I believe, and I think the system starts with a 'C'.

i checked with your info, but found nothing (chrisoprax, carinae, and castor, and some others).
did my cpu actually make the name up or what??

------------------

I don't have FH itself available to me right now (otherwise I'd open it in Pontus's EVO Developer's Map tool), but I do have the novel, in HTML format, on my computer. There are a few references to Sosostris, as it is Critch's homeworld. I'd look along the Rigellian borders -- it's either a Rigellian planet or a Rigellian buffer world.

The novel refers to lots of Very Bad Things happening to the planets Sosostris, Ashkelon, and Callos III, done by the Rigellians. Maybe that'll help.

Planets are difficult to find sometimes...good luck in finding it.

thx, i'll give it a shot.

------------------

can't find it.
i'm beggining to think something's wrong: either the planet doesn't exist for some reason (i've had some strange cargo deliveries for a planet that does not exist in the THEEMIN system, so maybe sosostris is maybe likewise), or maybe i screwed up something in the missions that was supposed to make that planet appear, or the plugin has some kind of defect...

------------------

The planet does exist, for I recall the name. I'll see if I can find it when i get home tonight.

hmmm...interesting.
there are plenty of systems i do not have (yet?). Are they supposed to appear with upcoming missions?
Anyway, i appreciate the effort, but i still can't see where that bloody planet is. Is it marked by an arrow? cos' i can't always see them because of my colour-blind screen.
thx for your time anyway.

Try hitting keys 1-4. They show you the hidden planets, as is used in Reign of the UE and other plugs.
