Out of curiosity - did you read the book before playing the game? I'm asking because as I said in my comment - I really loved the game, but I do wonder if knowing the secret of Regis, The Invincible and its sister ship made it easier to play and overlook some of the mechanical problems(which in my opinion really weren't that much of a deal, I think I got lost driving the rover once but like, meh).
