It seems like a cool little game.

I have an issue with being unable to ready the text that has gone by, is there a command to scroll up in the command box? (Or at least to display information in small pieces, like /p for dos?) I searched around in the manual a little and was unable to find any mention of this, but I only searched a little. It is kinda silly to type "help" and need help reading the help since it is too long so it all scrolls off except a small bit. LOL

Thanks in advance.

I used to play this game all the time. I got so good that I could send one StarFleet Dreadnaught up against 8 Klingon Dreadnaughts ans survive with little or even somtimes (very rarely) no damage. k:

Oh, and to se the rest of the text on the screen, type in "text", and for most of the commands you don't ahve to type in the full command, just using the first three letters is usually enough. like when you're targeting a particular ship.

I think i remember using the same glitch, perhaps using a negative warp beyond the posted limits... i remember the original, dont know if they fixed it in this version. but you could evade a ship at warp -100 and its effectively pursuing them at warp 100, no heat to engines.. used effectively, could warp in, fire phasers, and be far out of their reach, while charging phasers, go in and swoop again... i didnt see mention of the little weapons called probes, i used them extensively while warping in and out since they delivered lots of damage and could be prematurely detonated with a wide beam phaser... oh yea... i sent like the smallest federation ship against 8 klingon dreadnaughts, would come out battle scars, but came out alive

As far as I can tell it's not possible to slow down the passage of text when you enter a help command. The guide is pretty much the only set of instructions available, as I couldn't find the full manual anywhere on the internet.

No, you can't slow down the passage of text when you enter the "help" command. What you need to do is type in "text" and that will hide the graphical display and show all text.

If someone needs help with this, I'll do what I can, it's been a while since I played but I can remember most of the commands and what they do.

email is ********@****.**

No, I think I have it understand it now.

Thanks for your help runescope. The text command is exactly what I needed.

Hehe, 1 dreadnought vs. 8 eh? I will have to try that just to see how much I get stomped. Definately doesn't sound like a good tutorial battle. :blink:

Well, I must admit, I WAS exploiting a small glitch in the game to do it.

It's been a decade or so since I played it, but the trick is to run away while zigzagging, but not running away fast enough for them to give up the chase. That way, they're running into your torpedoes, while you are running away from theirs (and can dodge them).
