There are 6 demo missions. The difficulty of your task grows gradually from the first mission to the last one. To help you become familiar with keyboard commands and to train you fly your fighter with comfort and confidence, missions' options for your fighter were set as follows:

| Mission # | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
Invulnerability |  |  |  |  |  |
Unlimited cannons energy |  |  |  |  |  |
Unlimited missiles aboard |  |  |  |  |  |
No fighter collisions |  |  |  |  |  |

Mission 1. After start press R. The enemy fighter named EF-1 will become your target. Try to stay close on its tail. Hold the distance 0.06-0.08 km. Fire when the aim is displayed in yellow. Turn MFD on by pressing I if you wish. MFD in demo version has only one regime enabled - target view. The target can also be seen on your 2D map as red triangle and on your radars as large red point.

Mission 2. Here you have to resist the enemy wing of fighters. Pursue and destroy them one by one. Enemy crafts have different characteristics, namely interceptor is faster and more maneuverable than fighter, which, in turn, excels bomber at that characteristics. On the other hand, bomber carries most heavy weapon. You will see how these enemy crafts behave and learn about Imperial fighters' peculiarities. It is highly recommended to toggle to helmet view by pressing NumDel or J4.

Mission 3. This mission allows you to see all the fighters of the FurtherTime. Here a wing of the Outer Republic fighters fights against a wing of the Imperial fighters. You may choose to fly your fighter or just to observe the battle from different cameras available after turning on your autopilot system (A). Camera F3 can show you any fighter. By pressing F3 choose any desirable fighter, then use NumPad keys to position the camera. Camera F5, being turn on right after F3, shows both the chosen fighter and its target, so you can watch their duel.

Mission 4. In this mission you will face a mid-size Imperial ship - frigate. Though it is really a big target, you should not underestimate it. Laser batteries of the frigate are very precise and destructive weapon. Watch your shield system while flying near it! After eliminating all the mines protecting the enemy frigate let your fighter fly away and turn on F4 camera to see how frigate will defend itself against missile attack of your bombers.

Mission 5. This mission will show you the Outer Republic fighters' peculiarities. Any fighter of the coalition (and also yours) has a shield system, protecting it from cannons of the enemy crafts. If you are good pilot it won't be an impracticable task for you to make some series of precise shots, weakening target's shield. When shield is off, any one hit damages the craft.

Mission 6. This mission requires you to act as faster as possible. Here you are to save your own coalition frigate named R-Frig. If you are lucky and have destroyed the enemy wings of fighters and bombers, try such an interesting thing as docking with the frigate. To do so, target it and press D. You will be given a path, and R-Frig will turn docking illumination on. Then follow indication on your HUD. When the last waypoint is passed, frigate automatically docks your fighter. It is recommended to switch to an external camera (F3 or F4) to see how your fighter is being docked. If you want to take-off, press D again to break docking and then press A to turn autopilot off.
