Does this game have voice sound (and other questions)?

[jake21]

I purchased this game (kind of lost - havent' really figured out how to play effectively after a couple of hours - could also use a online manual that can be read from another computer - drop a note if one is available).

Anyways I have a couple of questions:
a) Does this game have voice sound? (i.e, when i goto govt i see lips moving but hear no voices - just music et all).
b) Is there an online that can be read while playing the game (another computer for example)
c) Is the reboot another game or is the game automagically enhanced ?
(i.e, how do i pick if i play space ranger 2 reboot or just space ranger 2)
d) Any suggestions for space combat? (there is some option that can be changed in the option screen but not sure I understand it)
e) How do I search for better equipment other than flying to world after world and checking what they have ?
(mostly I'm trying to do missions to make money and avoid combat but every now and then I get sucked (or suckered) in and then quickly die )
f) How do i leave items on a planet and how do i pick them up - according to the information screen i left an engine on earth but no idea how i did it or how to reclaim it.

For some reason this game seems a bit less intuitive to me than king bounty - btw I have the english stardock version which includes reboot but not printed manual)
