1You are placed in the role of James Tiberius Kirk, captain of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701. 2* The Enterprise is a big spaceship with a lot of systems and equipment. Everything on your ship uses energy to function. 3* This energy is taken from the WARPCORE energy buffer. The Warp core generates energy by a matter-antimatter reaction producing a huge amount of energy. 4* Under normal circumstances more than enough to power everything on your ship and enough to make a warp jump through multiple sectors. 5* However If the WARPCORE is damaged the energy output will decrease. 6* Energy is also needed to maintain a containment field around the WARPCORE. If the warpcore is damaged and there is no energy left the warpcore will fail. 7* Resulting in the destruction of your ship ! 8* Damaged systems can be repaired at the Engineering screen. The repair crew can only fix one item at a time. 9* At a federation starbase repairs can be made much quicker. 10* The Navigation screen shows the Known universe, revealing more when new sectors are explored or when scanned with a probe (probes not implenemted yet) 11* 12* The game is far from finished yet. However you can already explore a HUGE universe 13* with Klingon and Romulan empires. For testing purposes A Klingon Task force will invade your home sector at the start of a game. 14* To disable this.. go to Universe.cpp and comment out: 15* 16* a_Sector.m_nKlingonBC = 2; 17* a_Sector.m_nKlingonBOP = 2; 18* a_Sector.m_nFederation1 = 3; 19* 20* In Universe::GenerateHomeSector(Sector & a_Sector). 21* 22* 23* \section COMBAT 24* The Enterprise has 2 weapons, Photon torpedoes and Phasers. 25* PHOTON TORPEDOES torpedoes explode when they hit something resulting in massive damage over all systems. 26* The damage is not dependent on the distance, there is only a maximum range. 27* you only have a certain amount of torpedoes, they can be replenished at a starbase only ! 28* When COMPUTER and SENSORS are in good shape, they will precalculate a firing solution for a selected target. 29* 30* PHASERS only consume energy. Over time, the Phaserbanks are charged with energy from the warpcore buffer. 31* The damage a phaser does is dependend on the distance to the target. The further away, the less damage. 32* PHASERS are much more precise and can take out one single system. 33* 34* The Enterprise is also equipped with shields. When hit, the shield energy will drop using energy to block the incoming weapon. 35* The shieldsystem will immediately begin to recharge the shield, taking energy from the WARPCORE buffer. 36* If the shieldsystem is damaged,it will become less efficient in charging the shield. 37* (Converting Warpcore energy into shield energy will be less efficient) 38* 39* 40* \section CONTROLS 41* 42* The standard controls are: 43* 44* Arrow UP ---> Speed up 45* Arrow DOWN ---> Slow Down 46* Arrow LEFT ---> Turn Left 47* Arrow RIGHT ---> Turn Right 48* TAB ---> Fire front photon tube 49* L SHIFT ---> Fire aft photon tube 50* SPACE ---> Fire Phaser 51* 1..5 ---> Warp 1 tm Warp 5 52* T ---> target nearest enemy 53* F ---> target nearest friend 54* D ---> Dock at starbase (when in range) 55* R ---> Release from dock. 56* F1 ---> Main screen 57* F2 ---> Engineering 58* F3 ---> Astro Navigation 59* 60* F5 ---> Navigation Exploration 61* F6 ---> Navigation Tactical mode 62* F7 ---> Navigation Political mode 63* 64**/
