Room 1 - Obstacles

Gate to Room 2 is 4k North of entry gate. At 2k North there is a horizontal row of moving Obstacle moons. If you pass within 100 distance of one it gives forced thrust and -50% speed for 5 seconds. This room is bounded; if you pass 1.5k distance from the midline while between the gates you receive forced thrust and -90% speed for 10 seconds.


Room 2 - Direction and Misdirection

Gate to Room 3 lies south. In this room there are 2 moons orbiting a point 4k south of the entry gate at a radius of 1500. The moon named Direction has a gate beneath it that leads to Room 3, the other, Misdirection, has a gate that leads you to the north gate of Room 2. Direction orbits clockwise while Misdirection orbits counterclockwise. To quickly find direction press Shift+Control and then Shift+Q. This room is not bounded.

Room 3 - Blue Gremlin Mine

Gate to Room 4 is 6k North of entry gate. In between the gates there are up to 8 Blue Gremlin racing mines that are randomly placed every 45 seconds. If you pass within 310 distance of one it shoots you imparting a tweak of forced thrust and -95% speed for 5 seconds. This room is bounded; if you pass 1.5k distance from the midline while between the gates you receive forced thrust and -90% speed for 10 seconds.

Room 4 - Stealthed mobile gate

Gate to Room 5 lies northwest. In this room the gate to Room 5 is orbiting a point 3162 northwest of the entry gate at a radius of 2000. The gate orbits clockwise through the also clockwise orbits of several dark suns. Now would be a good time to equip a more powerful radar to find the stealthed gate. This room is not bounded.

Room 5 - Key in the Mines
