INTRODUCTION
In the 22nd century a multicultural schism group of peaceful rebels, scientists,
scholars, engineers, artists and philosophers contrived a plan to build low tech atomic-
driven "millennium ships" to transport themselves to a new Eden, a planet as yet
undiscovered they called Hope.
The colony fleet, constructed and launched from the far side of the Moon, was set on a
trajectory course calculated to encounter several candidate yellow star systems along
its grand arcing path.
While the Terrans hibernated snug in their cryo-chambers, shipboard sensors scanned
each star system for habitable worlds. If the search proved fruitless, eventually the
millennium ships would leave the Milky Way galaxy and be lost forever.
Thousands of years passed...
At last, a suitable planet was detected and the Terrans were automatically revived
from their aeon-long slumber. According to their chronometers and charts, the star
they would soon name Glory was the last viable system on their path, over 2000 light
years from home.
Remarkably, the Terran colonists had finally found an earthlike world. Even more
remarkably, it was, very literally, their last Hope.
***
Hope is a temperate planet located in the Glory system on the edge of a vast dark
nebula called the Purple Void. The local neighborhood of stars is formally termed as
Shrapnel Games, Inc. 1 Weird Worlds
Sector Prime. The Purple Void is unique in that it contains many unusual star types
and other peculiar phenomena. It also harbors dozens of unvisited worlds.
***
Over 100 years have passed since the millennium ships arrived. The colonies are
thriving. Agricultural hubs have become cities, and an abundance of natural resources
continues to provide for rapid progress.
Technology has improved beyond that of 22nd century Earth. Robotic spaceships are
no longer necessary. Slow cryoships have become obsolete. It is an exciting new era
of deep space exploration. And-
Click.
"Hey, what did you do that for? The movie just started. Turn it back on."
"We've seen it before, George. Isn't this the one with the disgusting aliens and
inscrutable bird-beings in it?"
"Well yeah, so?"
"So, you know how I feel about those movies, George. They rot your brain -and they
cause juvenile delinquency!"
"Margie... It's only science fiction. It can't hurt anybody."
"Well, I'm not too sure about that, George. Why, just today when I was--"
"Was what, honey?"
"What's that light, George?"
"Gosh, I don't know, Margie. It's so bright now."
The Nova Ship spent a year building up to detonation. When it occurred, the
supernova blast completely disintegrated the innermost planets of the backwater
yellow star system, and scoured the rest with cleansing radiation while boiling their
atmospheres away into space.
The crew rejoiced and reveled in the destruction, hooting insanely and squirting
fiberglass from newly-formed blowholes. The energy released would propel them to
another star system, whereupon the process would begin anew and another star
would die.
Kl9wanko burbled contentedly in his propylene relaxation cone. Life was good.

This is (almost but not quite) the setting of Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space.
Sadly, George and Margie do not appear in the game.

The large main window displays stars, nebula areas, black holes, encounters and
other important information. It is also the interface used to move your ship, or flotilla of
ships, from star to star.
Note that you may click and drag the starmap in any direction to view the entire map.
The self-adjusting window to the left of the main window displays your ships
(silhouette and image), ship names, onboard systems, cargo hold, any passengers
acquired during your journey and an icon button to evoke the SHIP FORMATION
window.
Note that the ship images also display the firing arcs of installed weapons.
At the top of the screen the self-adjusting window also displays the captain's name,
the current mission date, the icons that are used (by mouse click) to view ships and
the cargo hold, the buttons used to pass time deliberately (use with care), and the
relative speed (Lightspeed) of your flotilla, both in deep space (green bar) and in
nebula areas (purple bar).
If the system already contains starships, the RADAR window (See RADAR
CONTACT below.) will open and give you options either to ENGAGE the displayed
contacts or AVOID them. If AVOID is chosen, your flotilla will attempt to return to a
previously-explored system.
DESCRIPTIONS
Descriptions of things found and encountered are always given when something is
first discovered. After that, to view an item description, mouseover the item icon. A ?
(question mark) icon will appear. Click it at any time to review the description again.
TRANSFERRING THINGS
Things may be transferred from planet to cargo hold, from cargo hold to planet, from
cargo hold to ship (ship system installation), from ship to cargo hold (uninstallation)
and from ship to ship (both). Simply click the item to pick it up and then drop it in the
appropriate place.

To move from one star system to another, click a destination star system and choose
the ENGAGE option. Your flotilla will travel in a straight line (called a star lane) at best
speed toward the destination system.
Shrapnel Games, Inc. 7 Weird Worlds Shrapnel Games, Inc. 8 Weird Worlds
 UPGRADES
Each ship has a number of ship system slots visible on their silhouettes in the
STARMAP VIEW. Slots come in four flavors, one for each type of ship system, and
each is shaped differently.
Triangular slots are for weapons.
Circular slots are for general ship systems like combat computers, shields and
sensors.
Square diamond-shaped slots are for combat thrusters.
Trapezoidal shield-shaped slots are for star drives.
Starships may be upgraded by swapping out old systems for newer, more advanced
and more powerful ones. This is a very important thing to do. A properly-equipped fleet
is essential to achieving the best success, and highest scores, in the game.
Note that installations use up time depending on how advanced, powerful, rare or
exotic the system being installed is.
REPAIRS
If a ship system is highlighted in red, click it to repair it. If a ship's hull integrity bar is
visible and red, click it to repair it. Repairs take time. More advanced or complex
systems take longer to repair. Repair is automatic in combat but only if the proper ship
systems have been installed.
SHIP FORMATION
To evoke the ship formation window, click the circular icon just to the right of the ship
silhouette -the one with three triangles. Yeah, that's the one.
The ship formation window looks similar to the RADAR display and can be used to
arrange the starships in your flotilla any way you like. To do this, click and drag each
ship into position.
To select a leader, click on a ship then click LEADER. When you begin combat, all
ships will be set up to escort your leader.
Note that when you select a leader, the order of the ship selection icons at the top of
the screen change appropriately.

ENCOUNTERS
STARS & PLANETS
Each time you visit a star system, an exploration window will popup and display the
star your flotilla is currently in orbit around and the most interesting planet located
there.
RADAR CONTACT
Often, a star system is already occupied by one or more alien flotillas, preventing you
from exploring the system. Your ship's hyperwave radar will display the number of
flotillas encountered, the number of alien vessels in each flotilla, their relative sizes
and the names of the alien races involved (if you have met them before).
If you wish to initiate combat, press ENGAGE on the radar window. If not, click
AVOID.
ITEMS & LIFEFORMS
When you visit a star system, you may find an artifact, technology, lifeform, or other
items of interest there, that may be transferred to your cargo hold.
EVENTS
When you visit a star system, you may find or trigger an event. Some events are
benign, others are dangerous, but many are helpful, like finding an opportunity to
expand your flotilla by hiring a mercenary.
Note that some particularly important events may interrupt the game at any time.
MERCS & SIDEKICKS
As you explore Sector Prime you will have opportunities to hire mercenaries and
rescue spacecraft to increase the size of your flotilla. If payment is required, select an
appropriate item and give it to the mercenary. He, she or it will join your flotilla and be
controllable by you. You will see its ship icon appear next to your starship icon at the
top of the screen on both the STARMAP VIEW and the BATTLE VIEW.
Note that the player flotilla can include up to five spaceships, including the one
chosen at the beginning of the game.

protective force of starships or by more diplomatic means.
The status of any ship in combat can be easily checked. Mouseover a ship. A window
will open displaying the silhouette of the ship, shield and hull damage bars and ship
system locations. As the ship takes damage in combat, ship systems can be damaged

COMBAT SIMULATOR
The COMBAT SIMULATOR is evoked from the MAIN MENU. It allows you to fight
battles and practice your tactical skills against up to three opposing sides.
The simulator operates exactly like the COMBAT VIEW battles in the game. Refer to
the COMBAT VIEW section above for commands and other details.
When you start the simulator you will open RIPCORD'S FLIGHT SCHOOL, a screen
for selecting ships and allies for yourself and your AI opponents.
The first row of slots is for player ships. Up to five ships may be chosen. Note that the
first ship slot denotes the LEADER (flagship). Also note that this flotilla may be
comprised of ships from multiple races.
Rows two, three and four are for enemy flotillas. Each row represents the flotilla of any
one alien race.
To add ships to flotillas, mouseover the sliding race selection window and choose a
race by clicking its picture. When you do, the race's particular selection of ships will
appear in the same window. Choose a ship, click it and it will be added to the flotilla.
Note that you may add up to 16 starships of any particular type to flotillas two, three
and four. Also note that although these flotillas default as enemies, you may set them
to be friendly if you wish.
GAMEPLAY TIPS
1. Be wary of battles until you have increased the size of your flotilla and upgraded
your ships.
2. Always make sure that you have a STAR DRIVE installed on your ship(s). Note that
the speed of a flotilla is derived by an average of the speeds of all installed star drives
on your ships.
3. Avoid nebula areas completely until you have nebula drives (or another more exotic
drive). Nebula areas will slow a flotilla to a crawl and eat up valuable mission time
without the proper star drive technology.
4. In combat, weapon and shield quality is important but remember that combat
computers, electronic countermeasures (ECM) and thruster quality are equally
important to success in battles.
5. Always keep a cheap item or two on hand to purchase mercenaries. (On the other
hand, if a merc is given a ship system he or she does not possess, or a better one
than one he or she already possesses, the system will be automatically installed. It
may also be switched around later, aha!)
Shrapnel Games, Inc. 15 Weird Worlds
6. Use the Klakar like a bank and safety deposit box. Once you obtain a Klakar
beacon you can summon them at any time. They don't care about what objects are
worth, so trade your expensive but nonuseful items for cheaper ones as protection
against thieves, saboteurs and bad luck in combat.
Note that if an item is stolen, it may reappear and be available to you again at any
place where items are traded.
7. If you have the Klakar trade beacon or know where their home world is, always
trade cheap items for better ones with them one last time before you end a mission
and RETIRE.
8. If you survive a battle but one or more ships in your flotilla were lost, keep in mind
that some items aboard those ships may survive and appear on the planet popup. If
so, the item(s) may be reacquired.
9. Be sure to mount shields in rearward system slots. Forward ship system slots
usually take damage first during starship combat. In other words, the position of each
system slot on your ship is actual.
10. The ability to destroy incoming missiles and torpedoes is called point defense.
Guns,like railguns and cone cannons, operate as point defense weapons and are
more useful than they may first appear.
11. Lookout Frogs are wily and the Toy Robot is not a toy.
12. There is a way to see cloaked ships.
13. The Limited Vacuum Collapser is actually useful.
14. In Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space, time is the ultimate adversary.
15. If you have a ram-hardened ship in your flotilla, equip it with a good shield and a
cloaking device. They'll never know what hit 'em.
