Career Mode

The Take on Mars career mode is where the player takes on the role of a vehicle operator aiming to complete scientific missions at the surface or orbit of Mars, Deimos, Moon or Earth. They player will only be given missions that can be completed with the vehicles and instruments currently available to them, making technological progression and research an important part of the game in order to unlock more missions.

Intro
When you start a new career you will start automatically in the Mars 3 lander.

After you complete the Mars 3 mission you will be taken to the Mars-x control room. You will then be asked if you want to play real time or game time. Real time will mimic the actual rotation of Mars. You will however NOT be able to accelerate time. This can be frustrating if you have a operation that takes 9 hours. Game time is the exact opposite of real time. Both time modes DO NOT simulate communication delays OR 2 year launch windows. You will then be shown a short tutorial. After completing the tutorials click on the map to get started. Default map view will show you Mars with many landing points. Select one ( you will want to chose one that is in the sun light).
