|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When the eject warning light comes on you had better eject quick!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You have a choice of missles
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dumb-fire : Point it and shoot, it has no homing capability
|
||
|
|
Heat-Seeking : Locks onto any heat source, foe or friendly!
|
||
|
|
Image Recognition : You must keep the target in view for a few seconds while
|
||
|
|
the missle memorizes the ship type you are attacking
|
||
|
|
Friend or Foe missle : Lock onto the nearest enemy ship, it is a smart missle
|
||
|
|
and identifies enemy ships due to the different signals
|
||
|
|
they broadcast, however if a friendly ship's Comm is
|
||
|
|
damaged, it may home in on them.
|
||
|
|
Laser Cannon : Lasers don't do a lot of damage, but they are reliable and
|
||
|
|
will kill many enemy ships.
|
||
|
|
Mass Driver Cannon : Medium range/ medium damage, a good weapon.
|
||
|
|
Neutron Guns : These do heavy damage, but they are close range only, they
|
||
|
|
also overheat and use a lot of power.
|
||
|
|
Porcupine Mines : These have a limited homing capability but only have to
|
||
|
|
get close to explode, if you are being tailed, just drop
|
||
|
|
one and he either gets out of the way or is blown up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All capital ships have turrented guns and will shoot a lot of flak, only the
|
||
|
|
most maneuverable ship can make it past them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This game will use Expanded memory if you have some, the game will play if you
|
||
|
|
have none, but some options are not implemented without it, the game can play
|
||
|
|
a bit slower as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need a minimum of 535k free and about 500k of Expanded memory for full
|
||
|
|
gameplay, the Expanded memory is used mainly to speed-load images while play-
|
||
|
|
ing. QEMM is listed as a great Expanded Memory Manager.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Radar Display :
|
||
|
|
Outer ring : space behind you
|
||
|
|
Inner ring : space in front of you
|
||
|
|
remember, this is now three-dimentional, you can go up/down left/right. the
|
||
|
|
big white + in space is where your waypoint is, steer toward it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And last but not least, some hints.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The name of the game is to follow your wingman (or he follows you) if you two
|
||
|
|
separate you will both be in trouble, even when the enemy is in sight you
|
||
|
|
should finish your main objective (in that area) before you attack them, this
|
||
|
|
of course will not work if THEY attack you! Each enemy is different and has
|
||
|
|
different tactics.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
one quick item, you will be called to protect a transport ship or Tiger's Claw
|
||
|
|
(your base ship) do not engage oncoming ships until they are within 5000 meters
|
||
|
|
from the ship you are protecting, not 5000 meters from YOU!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hope this gets you started, there was a book that explained the details,
|
||
|
|
history etc..
