Airshack Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) I'm having a tough time trying to break out of the 4k range. Pro Tip: Shoot one single blue spaceship on the second screen to break out of the 4K range. <insert snicker> Edited September 17, 2017 by Airshack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) I shoot them all.I touch all bases in Sector1.I try not to ever touch any after that unless I really have to.I kill all NOMADS.I get swarmed.I die.I did make it into the 500k range once. didn't screenshot, it wasn't over 600k.I hope to eat lunch soon. Let's see how I feel after that. Edited September 17, 2017 by Sinphaltimus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airshack Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 When they begin to swarm you just hold the fire button down and rotate into them -- don't run or introduce any forward velocity. If you do they'll chase you and rear-end you -- poof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airshack Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) NOMAD: He's not a formidable boss. Just rotate with forward velocity while holding down the fire button. I don't think NOMAD has ever killed me??? Edited September 17, 2017 by Airshack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airshack Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Nice! Past 500k a lot depends and where the ships are placed to begin each round. Edited September 17, 2017 by Airshack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I did this on real Iron - I rather like it on the TI with an atari joystick better than emulation with an X-Box360 controller. But my hand cramps up badly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airshack Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 jwild's play style is interesting. I believe I hear keyboard controls and zero use of Photons! Wow! How? This game is a wonderful pick for the competition. It's certainly fun to play. Prime Directive: Easy to learn, difficult to master. Satisfied! Of course, we love to dissect the gameplay 35 years later... Issues I see: 1. The "3D" first-person viewer at the bottom is pretty much useless, and it's painfully 2D. No up/down. 2. You can kick ass without using Photons? WTF? Seems Photons should be necessary to kill certain enemies. 3. Firing Photons requires stopping forward motion. 4. No control over sector navigation. 5. It's not Star Raiders. Ha! 6. The boss level with Nomad is easy like an intermission sequence. 7. No enemy explosions? 8. I believe the arcade version had a third sequence where you navigate through an asteroid field? Not here. So... which feature(s) would you guys add if you were brainstorming for Star Trek 2?

Airshack Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) For he remainder of the month I have zero access to my rig with its magic blue joystick. I'm done as well so at least I got to raise the bar for a while:) Good luck y'all! Edited September 18, 2017 by Airshack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinphaltimus Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 good grief! lol. i better get the old hand crampers out and work up my score more. That's precisely why I'm out. By the time I got the high score I got, my hands were screaming for me to stop and quit gaming forever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
