	4. What's the latest version? The official patch is 1.04. However, there is a patch 1.05 out there. You can see the version number in the lower right hand corner of the "main menu". There are FOUR versions, depending on which version is on the CD and where you got it. Download them here.
	5. Is there a demo for Star Trek DS9 Dominion Wars? No.
	6. My box did not come with Star Trek: Starship Creator Warp II! The non-US version (different distributor) did not include this bonus disc.
	7. What resolution settings can be used in Dominion Wars? The game ONLY runs at 800x600.
	8. How do I import ships from Creator: Warp 2? Warp 2 ships may only be imported into multiplayer games. Ships saved from Warp 2 into the default directory (see the manual for the correct path) will appear in the Fleet Set-up screen of multiplayer games that allow Warp 2 ships. Scroll through the list of selectable ships, and all the Warp 2 ships will appear towards the right side of the ship listing. Captains are imported in the same way as ships
	9. Can I play the movies outside the game? The game uses the popular BINK video format. You can download a player from www.radgametools.com. The movies are on the CD in the VIDEO subdirectory and should also be in the install directory on the HD.

GAME QUESTIONS ANSWERS

	1. How do I activate devices on my ships? Some devices will be activated immediately once you enter the game, others, such as the Quantum Torpedo upgrade, you will need to click on in order to "apply" the upgrade. To do this, select the ship with the upgrade, then click the cargo button. You will see a small picture of the device. Right-click on the device to apply it. Your ship will now have that enhancement active!
	2. Can I save my fleet setup? Hit EXIT button. The menu should pop up allowing you to save.
	3. I can't figure out the save interface! Click on one of saved games (or even AUTOSAVE). Hit backspace- key until the name at the bottom box is gone. Enter new save game name (no space allowed). Hit enter-key to save. To overwrite existing game, don't change the name. WARNING: overwriting existing game may CRASH the system. Delete extra saves when you exit the game.
	4. What do the different crews do? Security: capture enemy ships, or guard against capture. Engineering: repair damage to ship (cannot repair destroyed components) Command: allow ship to go above 1/4 impulse.
	5. What are those "medals"? They add a slight bonus to each captain in the different areas. I didn't find them to have any significant effect. I also don't see how captains receive them. They seem to be random depending mainly on the number of kills.
	6. My shields drop for no reason! You probably entered a nebula. The computer should have warned you "entering nebula". Shields don't work in the nebula. Sometimes ion storm is also referred to as a nebula.
	7. One of my ships just stopped responding to commands! If you captured enemy ship(s), this can sometimes happen. The only way to regain control is to destroy the captured ship(s) until you are back to six ships (or less).
	8. What is that triangle with rounded corners on the screen/map? That's one of your objectives. Remember the briefing screen?
	9. What's that tall thin box with a little head and tail on the screen/map? That's a patrol point. You have to reach (fly near) all of them in the mission to accomplish one of the objectives, usually patrol.
	10. Some of my ship's items are inoperative no matter the number of engineers! Destroyed items cannot be repaired.
	11. I can't issue accurate movement orders by clicking in the 3D screen! Try clicking the location on the mini-map (scanner map) instead. Zoom in to be more precise.
	12. My captured ships won't go above 1/4 impulse! You need to beam over some Command (red) personnel.
