I just purchased the Elite version today after playing the free game for a few hours, and I love the game.
I think I have run into a bug, however. I got a contract to go to sector 29,27 from Syndicate Rychart to spy on the sector. I plotted a course but the ship would not move when i clicked "start." I manually flew there but the star Wolfe Das is in that sector and the game will not allow me to enter... How can I survey a sector I can't get into?
Thanks.

This'll teach you to try spying on Cadar interests - sure they are developing some secret weapons technology, but it's actually being done in the heart of the star ...
Seriously though, it's very weird - did you plot the course from within the contract itself or did you go to the galactic map and try and plot it from there separately?
I've never had any mission that put the target inside a star. I don't suppose you have still got the details of the contract itself? It could, for example, have been (27,29). In any case, fingers crossed that all future contracts are more successful (or indeed achievable) than this one.

What version are you running? This bug is supposed to be fixed in current versions.

It is Star Trades RPG Elite v3.9.3 downloaded yesterday morning from my Droid 3 through the Android Marketplace.
The first attempt was on the auto-plot after accepting the contract. I then plotted it several times by map and by contract (at first I didn't think the game would auto pilot there because I may not have had enough water-fuel, which I did) so I chose to manually fly there.
The coordinates are correct--it even showed the final route marker on the star itself, although I couldnt resist playing on my lunch break, and wound up letting it expire, so I don't have the exact details.

Auto-plot / auto-pilot will certainly begin any possible journey even if you don't have enough fuel to get to the destination. It cares not that you may be scudding through a dozen sectors relying on scant chunks of frost scraped off your hull, augmented with the blood "volunteer" crew. Neither does the fact that you might have had 3 mutiny attempts, and 4 hostile encounters that left you with 1 point of hull and only 2 functioning solar sails. You're just lucky that the Auto Pilot has been programmed with enough smarts not to try and fly you directly into a star  |
