I posted on LucasArt's forum regarding how to get a new manual. Jason over there responded...here are the instructions.

I just got done archiving a old sound card manual. I used OCR on it and the final file size for 50 pages was like 3MB. Granted, I couldn't do quite that well with a 180pg manual with lots of art, but it would definitely be less than 50MB and would look a LOT better TF, PM me if you would like to do some temporary manual lendage. I'm also going to try to hunt down the game for cheap, but that seems to be nearly impossible these days. (Or, maybe, I'll just hunt down the friend I borrowed the manual to years ago )

There are like 176 pages! That's a lot of text It would be best to just rescan the whole thing. I wish I could get my hands on the real manual.

Well, the manual that's on eMule is 50MB. I used some Acrobat magic to shrink it to 21MB. Problem is it's basically a compilation of scanned images, not OCR'ed text. Makes it really big. If I had the manual I would probably try to rescan it but I don't have it so this is the best I can do.... It would be great to have you guys host it though.

About the manual. Please try to get it off emule first before using the hosted server I have it on. If you have the manual, you could help share it on emule. That would help others get it too. So, emule link: ed2k://|file|Star.Wars.Rebellion.Manual.pdf|54878397|D1959EA01BD6F467D29A7B9504B4F53F|/ http://www.emule-project.net/ Hopefully we can get it hosted on SWR.Com here and all problems getting the file will be solved.

Hey my fellow Rebellion zealots! I found this bargain over at Amazon that I needed to share. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0761510281/qid=1083734319/sr=8-3/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i3_xgl14/002-1792984-0443256?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 Food for your hungry Rebellion appetites! I got mine already. Pretty good info. Book is larger than the KOTOR guide but smaller than the TIE Fighter guide (yeah, I rock for having a TIE Fighter guide.) The Rebellion guide is just chocked full of cool reading and strategies. Honestly the online FAQs are probably better strategy guides due to their ongoing development, but this book is in real paper form and has pictures and stats and more and more, etc! Can't go wrong for what they are charging!

Thanks for replying to both of my pesterings. I'll take a look at your tips later on today. I THINK the only model I'm having trouble with is this winged MC80. Not positive though since I don't have a good tactical battle to test with that has all the ships in it (have a saved one by chance?)

Does anyone have a saved game which happens to have all the ships in the game about to face each other in tactical mode? This would be a awesome way to test model additions.

If I install the Winged MC80 into the Calamari Cruiser slot, the game crashes when it tries to load tactical mode. Anyone else get this? I'm using the model installer to install it.

Ok people, I found it on eMule. 56MB of Rebellion goodness. So if you know how to use eMule/eDonkey, here's a ed2k link: ed2k://|file|Star.Wars.Rebellion.Manual.pdf|54878397|D1959EA01BD6F467D29A7B9504B4F53F|/ There are only a few sources but I will be permanently sharing it when I have emule running so just be patient with it.

I lost my game manual years ago. Well, I miss it. And, well, I can't seem to find the game for cheap anywhere and sure don't want to invest another $30-40 in it! I know there is a PDF out there of the manual but I can't find it. Anyone have it?
