When the primary weapon of one of your ships is damaged, the next weapon on

the list will automatically become that ship’s primary weapon. In addition, you

will receive a message from that ship stating that the primary weapon has been

damaged and a new weapon has been assigned.

Note that there is a repair analysis computer which improves the officers

chances of repairing an item. This is different from the repair computer, which

is actually equivalent to another officer.

When the battle has ended, clicking on EXIT once again takes you back to the

Military screen.

SECRET INTELLIGENCE NETWORK

This area can be reached by clicking on SIN from the screen transfer panel. The

Secret Intelligence Network, or SIN, can be used to unearth hidden facts about

important people in the galaxy, and in some cases extort money from them.

Your agents can also be sent to reconnoiter planets that you do not have com-

plete files on, and finally, they can be sent on insurgence missions to other plan-

ets in order to raise public opinion towards Harmony’s struggle.

In addition, the SIN takes care of security on Harmony. This is an automatic

function, but the head of the SIN, Mr. Fredericks, will report to you on any secu-

rity infractions or other happenings that warrant your attention.

Along the left edge of this screen is the stats/text box. It contains a list of the

basic statistics for the SIN area. Budget and Staff are adjusted with arrows here

too. There is a minimum budget and staff for the SIN area. See the section cover-

ing the Governor area for details.

The Executron lays the screen out similarly to the MIL area, except for the mid-

dle right function buttons. These buttons are labeled EXTORT, DOSSIER, MIS-

SIONS, INSURG, RECON and ABORT. At the bottom of the screen, just above

the transfer buttons, are SECTOR MAP and PERSON buttons.

Note that you cannot order a mission to be started if there aren’t any agents

available. If you try to start a mission when there are no agents available, the au-

tomatic Executron overrides will display a message letting you know of the staff

shortage. New agents can be hired to the SIN area at any time by moving to the

Personnel screen.

To abort a mission already in progress, click on ABORT from the neutral set-

tings of the screen, and then click on the appropriate mission from the list given

in the stats/text box.
