Anyway, I've been reading through the tutorials, and have only just started playing around a bit, but every time I press F9 (system information), I get 5 or so error messages (all error 76), telling me that it couldn't find planetjpeg/ha3.jpg, which is not surprising, since there are no directories at all in my install directory. Also, the installation takes up about 37,5 MB, which is less than the zip file I downloaded. Could all this be because I didn't install to the default directory? Or did I do something else wrong?
Thanks in advance. I'm very much looking forward to getting to know this game a little better. :)

I'm posting this here, as per the guidelines for new users. Also, the odds that it's not a bug, but something I did wrong, are overwhelming.Thanks for reading the guidelines :)[/quote]
No inconvenience - looks like you solved the problem itself. The Academy is the right place for this sort of confusion.

I'm doing a learning game, and so far I've been able to find the answer to most of the questions that have popped up. I do have one question, though. How fast do the mass drivers packets travel? I desperately need sorium, which can only be found in any significant quantity, on Rhea. So I've built a bunch of automated mines there, and a mass driver. It fires packets regularly, but none have arrived so far.

How do you know they haven't arrived?

On the F3 System Map, Display tab (http://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=System_Map_-_Complete_Reference#Display_Tab), is an option to Show Mineral Packets. Check the box to see the packets on the system map. There is also an option on the Display 2 tab (http://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=System_Map_-_Complete_Reference#Display_2_Tab) to Show Mineral Packet Content.

I was expecting the arrivals to show up on Earth's mining/maintenance tab, though, which is why I thought they weren't arriving. Shouldn't they be listed under "Mass Driver +/-"?
Yes, but only if you look at the screen in the correct time window.

Thanks for the help guys. The F3 tip makes it clear that the packages are indeed arriving. Sadly they don't cover my needs, so I have halted my fuel production. I was expecting the arrivals to show up on Earth's mining/maintenance tab, though, which is why I thought they weren't arriving. Shouldn't they be listed under "Mass Driver +/-"?
They should, although that column is notorious for bugs and Steve keeps finding things being added/subtracted/reset to zero in the wrong order. Let us know if they start showing up now you've halted fuel production.
