If the outpost is destroyed the game ends.
Use the gun turrent to protect the outpost. Use the left
and right arrow keys to rotate and aim the gun turrent. Press the spacebar
to shoot the gun.
Hold the spacebar down for auto-fire
.
Computer controlled missile turrents are attached to the outpost
and provide support. Additional missile turrents are awarded after each stage.
Fleet Command has dispatched support ships however they will
not arrive until later stages. Like the missile turrents, support ships
are computer controlled. Additional ships with increased power will arrive
in later stages.
The outpost and all ships have a hull rating. The outpost and
some ships are also equipped with shields. Damage is first inflicted on the
shields. Once the shields are down damage is then inflicted on the hull.
When the hull is knocked out the outpost or ship is destroyed. At the end
of each mission all remaining ships are auto-repaired which provides upto a
50 % repair in both shields and hull. |
