2)Introduction
==============
This is my second FAQ and the first, that is relating the Space Combat
Simulation genre. This FAQ was created for Tachyon: The Fringe game on medium
difficulty mode; the only thing, that may change are a little changes in
tactics and strategy for defeating your enemy. If anyone wants to add something
to this FAQ, please, post this on my
e-mail, but you can also contact me at following
e-mails: maxdemobster@yahoo.de , sturmtiger@mail386.com , orion.45@hotmail.com
and you will be credited.
Also when you post an e-mail and if you want to be listed in credits, include
your name and e-mail (not necessarily); if you don`t include this, I will
assume that you don`t want to be listed. I won`t submit any of your e-mail
without your permission and will remove it at your request.
And if you have gotten that information from anyone else, CREDIT THEM.
And keep on mind, that wherever are SPOILERS, I have wrote a NOTIFICATION below
the title (i.e. there may be some spoilers in Characters section, so just below
the title, there is a notification).

stated in Credits section.

story, as the humanity would be living in that >> future > Sol war of freedom  No more
wars, only peace  mother > Rust Belt  Poison is in the small bottles  Sol war of freedom
Profit equals the
worth.  the robot  inside  nose rack  zero points > green > ship minigun
