-- User's Quick Info --
Starship Quasar uses a custom engine that can transport 20 avatars under manual
or auto-pilot modes. Physical flight modes makes use of Mesh Physics, where the
ship becomes Phantom.
All Starships will rezz drop/lander ships that will auto-dock to the holding pods when
first rezzed, the starships also rezz fighter type ships that contain canons.
All vehicles are accessed by a Hud which allows access to various Vehicle, Options
and Settings menus.
Landmarks are fully supported such that you're able to drop a standard Landmark file from
your personal inventory onto the vehicle, and it will be availble in the hud's Landmark menu.
From this, you may choose a Warp or Auto-Pilot function using the LM's global location.
Local sim locations may also be entered using the ship's Sim Map touch screen.
An Engine Control Panel allows access to Vehicle controls and Main Hud menus
. On/Off enables the vehicle to access the avatar's control keys.
. Menu accesses the Main Hud
. Mode selects physical and non-physical flight modes
. 'Stop' applies a momentary damping field and stops all on-going controls
. Display toggles the Vehicle Rate Display (m/sec)
Starships use a non-physical 'Warp' mode that moves the ship in selected small increments
or in a single large move to a selected landmark.
Lander/Drop Ships have three flight modes, Warp, MoveTo and Impulse.
. The 'Impulse' acts like a physical anti-gravity vehicle, completely controlled by
it's inertia produced by the 'thrusters' on all six sides.
. Warp is a non-physical vehicle mode which uses llSetRegionPos for inner
sim travel and WarpPos for multi-sims.
. Modes may be switched at any time.
. MoveTo is also a physical mode, but movement is incremental and precise.

Great ship IF....
..........it indeed does what is described. I have not found out yet. There is no concrete manual that will show step by step how to fly this ship. Support doesn't seem to exist. U buy it and you are on your own.
Documentation is very poor. I finally got it to get off the ground after pushing enough buttons and I still don't know what I did to get it going.
Example:-- You can touch: --- Captain's Chair Back for 5 Menu Buttons
Not quite. There is nothing to touch at the chairs back. There are some colored squares, 3 of them floating beside the chair, that even though they are all the same color, they all have different functions.
How crazy is that?
Claims 90 prims. I just was ask to leave a Sandbox because they claimed it was 260 prims and therefore exceeding the limit.
From outside, the ship looks great, inside its a wreck. The captains choir looks more like a toilet then a Captains chair.......the Desk I got is useless sitting in the middle of the room taking up space. The rest is empty. Ugly. Lame.
There was supposed to be some sort of sphere with it, I have yet to find that.
Lack of support is really what's killing this project. How can you sell something so complex without a manual or support?
Had I known all this, I would have not bought this ship.
I did buy some other ships and have no problem piloting them since they all came with very clear and precise instructions.
I am disappointed to say the least.
