DrMooCowz Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Are you suggesting that you just sit in 1910 and farm the non-boss planes? The rule used to be no farming, but I don't know what the current rules are. For the sake of sanity and having a life, I would suggest this is the least effective way to get a high score. I agree that it would be super boring and wouldn't want to do this myself(aka ), but I think the way the scoring is programmed in the game there isn't an incentive to try to progress to the deeper levels since the ships are worth the same amount. Unless there's something beyond the 2001 era and can shoot the boss ships constantly at 3000 points each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, you can farm points this way. I will have to find my old thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a thought I had after reading the manual. I agree with you that I don't want to use that technique either, since it sounds like it's just "not fun" to even play it. I wish the game was either something like... the higher level you are, the more points basic ships are worth. Or once you've blown up the required amount of ships to move to the next era, all the enemies become the boss ship so that you don't have any choice but to progress if you want more points.

StanJr Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 27600. The most minor of improvements. The HSC has become cutthroat in my absence.

voodoo_chilly Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Off topic a little, but I see we have Activision games coming up soon. WIth all the Dragster/Todd Rogers drama recently, I would like to give this Dragster game a try. Of course I can do it in my spare time, but since it's "in the news" lately, I thought it would be interesting to see what players here could come up with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 38900 I'm likely done this week. This is near my personal best and I may not get any more time to play. I have less than no interest in playing Dragster, today or ever. Miserable game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
