Product Information
The galaxy is overrun with enemy fighters, and we need your help to protect our starbases from these deadly invaders. Your ship has a limited amount of energy, so you must complete your mission as quickly as possible. <br><br>Warp travel will be necessary to reach the far corners of the galaxy. Your viewpoint will be first-person and navigation is achieved via the Mission/Attack Control Computer (MACC), which is called up using the color/black-and-white switch.<br><br>Be advised: Energy is expended during warp travel, when you fire your laser and when you are hit by a meteor or enemy fire. You can refuel and recharge your ship by docking with a starbase.<br><br>There are four different mission levels to choose from: Ensign, which contains 9 enemy fighters that move at normal speed; Leader, which contains 17 enemy fighters that move at 1.5 times normal; Wing Commander, which contains 23 enemy fighters that move at 2 times normal speed; and StarMaster, which contains 31 enemy fighters that move at 2.5 times normal speed. <br><br>You will earn 100 points for each enemy killed, and are penalized 500 points for each starbase destroyed, 100 points for each time you dock with a starbase and 1 point for each stardate elapsed. <br><br>Activision awarded the following patches to pilots who achieved high scores: 3,800 points earned Ensign; 5,700 earned Leader; 7,600 earned Wing Commander; and 9,000 earned StarMaster.Product Identifiers
