black hole help!? :(

Post by DaveK »

I have three identical profiles 1, 2 & 3 in the list) - I use 1 for the game and then when I exit save into the other two (and every half hour or so in a longer session); if anything goes wrong I can use one of the others and only lose progress from the last triple save

You can have 100 profiles saved! I didn't realise that the pilot profile list scrolled down for ages - I felt a total fool when I was told after complaining that I would like to be able to save more profiles! :P

You could tell us the black hole coordinates and others could be safe too :P

It's not the black hole that is the problem, it's the fact that cambam's save puts him back in it each time - life expectancy in a BH s only a few seconds, which is why you need to develop the knack of jumping through one :P
