    To be honest, I don't keep track of systems because I'm more into travelling from system to system randomly.

    What you have in the navigation screen is the possibility to introduce coordinates. Therefore, you could keep track of good systems that interest you by making a spreadsheet with columns for the name of the system (this one is not needed, but just in case you want to keep a record of it), coordinates X, Y and Z, another column for items with good buying prices and another one for items with good selling prices.

    Makes sense.
    #Suggestion: Is there a way to create an account so you can play the same game account on multiple devices? I like to use iPad at home and iPhone out and about.

    Nope, but you can transfer the savegame archives using iTunes archive share. Connect your iPhone to iTunes, find Stellar Horizon in the archive sharing and click on it. The two archives you have to copy from one place to another are called something like stellarHorizonHisto.dat and stellarhorizonsave.dat. I can't remember the names well, but if you search this thread (or my posts in it), I posted them recently, so they should be a few pages back.

    This is not the best solution because it takes more time than having an online savegame system as the games from ButterScotch to move between devices, but it is far better than not being able to transfer the savegame at all (and Marsaults doesn't need a dedicated and expensive server for savegames either ;)).

    Hmm. Maybe if he hooked the game up to Apple Game Center it would work? It's a shame to have such a good game that most people would end up playing separate games on each device.

    It would work, but i don't have the knowledge yet! For the moment, as explained by VirtualBoy, the only way is to use iTunes and copy the 2 files from one device to the other.
    Maybe one day i will improve that.

    As long as Game Center works, it would work, but it Apple introduced a GC bug again and took 2.5 years to fix it (as it already happened), you wouldn't be able to play the game... I think there's no perfect solution to this, but for now iTunes works to transfer savegames, although you have to invest 5-10 minutes to do so (turn on computer, plug device 1, transfer archives, etc.)

    This system has good prices (yellow) if you want to buy gold and platinium. It had 36t of platinium with a 5k/t benefit compared to mean price, and 20t gold at around 3k/t benefit. Maybe you're near enough to visit it ;)

    Coordinates (X,Y,Z) are (176,1389,-255)

    I was able to scan and mine minerals fine. Was attacked by some ship. Next ship I was able to scan. And seemed like I was mining but the mineral wouldn't disappear after. And nothing showed up in my cargo. Hmm. Just thought. Is it possible cargo was full? I thought I had been able before to mine even though I was full. Here's some SS 's. Nope. Ss won't load. Just a large word saying CANCELED appears. Anyway. What do u think?

    Sorry for my lack of knowledge: what does SS stand for? As for the cargo issue, I think it could be full. You can click on "System" and check if it's full in the first page you see. Near the "fine" button is the information.

    I've found that in the last version, manual landing on space stations doesn't work: the light which should turn from red to green (on the top right of the central "auto" button) doesn't change in the latest update. I've already reported it to Marsaults so that he fixes it.

    Also, has anyone found any monoliths since the last update? Or I'm having bad luck, or something is wrong.

    Yes. Ss is screen shot. Mine wouldn't load.

    Regarding Monoliths. Do you have to roam all over a planet to find one or are they usually close to your landing site? And when you find it what do you do with it?

    Ah, okay, thanks!

    Monoliths are usually near your landing site. At the bottom left oval you get like a sound scanner and a number. You've got to get that number to 100. You usually begin seeing the monoliths at around 65-70. You know you're going the right direction because at S1 (speed 1, the button a bit to the right in the middle which changes between S0 and S1 when pressed), the counter increases by 4.0 (or near 4.0).

    You don't do anything with them. When you get to them you get a message saying "new monolith found" and if you're lucky, it will give you a coordinate number for a legendary system. When you have the three coordinate numbers of a legendary system, you can lock them using the input coordinates feature in the navigation menu to go and visit them and find something special not seen in normal systems.

    It is possible your cargo is full. A message that will indicate if it is the case will be introduced in the next release.
    Concerning screenshots, I have the same problem with the toucharcade app.

    What I do to post screenshots with the TA app is first attach the screenshot, and after write the message and finally click on "submit reply". This way, the image attachment works 75% of the times.

    Getting an iPhone SE. I'm so excited how much faster it will run on the se! Can't wait for animal life! I'm sure more species will come! And maybe even move! Thank you Maursalt. (How would you like to be addressed. By Maursalt, Maursalts or your first name). Btw, when will the update be life. The next couple of days?
