Greetings Dark! Well I am getting closer, Thanks for all your tips along the way. A few more questions for you to help get me to the end. Sppoiler for any one not at the end of the game. You have been warned! Any way I have the ships hull at 70 percent but cannot lift off. It seems that that button is not highlighted, or rather cant be selected. What am i missing? Do I need more alien aloy? Did I miss an item? Also one question about Eyes, health & meley. Do these upgrades cost you weight? If I'm going on an adventure I may not neede lets say Eyes for example and need to carry other items, just wondered your thoughts on balanceing these items. Thanks So Much again for all the help. I am really enjoying the game. Take Care, Sly
