-------------------------------.... THE
IMPORTANT PARTS TO RECOGNIZE ARE AS FOLL
OWS:.. 1) WHERE IT SAYS "TARAZED" ON
THE EXAMPLE... THIS IS THE STAR S
YSTEM YOU ARE FIGHTING OVER. IGNORE..
THE "K" AND "BROWN", THEY ARE JUST
FOR ASTRONOMICAL USE.. AND MEAN N
OTHING IN THE GAME... 2) THE NAMES AT
NUMBERS (1)-(4)... THE TWO HIGHL
IGHTED NAMES ARE THE PLAYER WHO ARE IN..
COMBAT... 3) THE WORDS "GOOD"
AND "POOR" ON THE EXAMPLE... THE
SE ARE A PRETTY GOOD INDICATION OF EACH
PLAYER'S.. CHANCES OF WINNING. TH
E LEFT COLUMN IS PLAYER #1 AND THE..
RIGHT COLUMN IS PLAYER #4. IN THIS E
XAMPLE, PLAYER #1.. WILL MOST LIK
ELY EASILY BLOW PLAYER #3'S SHIPS AWAY..
. 4) THE NUMBERS AND/OR DOTS ON THE G
RID... FIRST OFF, A SET OF DOTS (
. .) IS JUST SSG'S WAY OF.. PUTTI
NG A ZERO THERE. NOW, EACH BOX CONTAINS
TWO SETS OF.. NUMBERS (OR DOTS).
THE TOP NUMBER SHOWS THE NUMBER OF..
NORMAL FUNCTIONING SHIPS THAT PLAYER
HAS IN THE AREA... THE LOWER NUMB
ER IS THE NUMBER OF DAMAGED SHIPS OF THA
T.. TYPE THE PLAYER HAS IN THE AR
EA. NATURALLY, NORMAL SHIPS.. WIL
L FIGHT BETTER THAN DAMAGED SHIPS.....NO
W A LITTLE MORE ON COMBAT, THE MORE ENEM
Y SHIPS YOU DEFEAT IN..COMBAT, THE MORE
POINTS YOU GET (I.E. IF YOU DEFEAT 4 MAR
K I'S..AND A MARK II, YOU GET MORE POINT
S THAN DEFEATING A PAIR OF MARK..I'S ALO
NE). MARK IV'S ARE THE MOST POWERFUL SHI
P AND SO ON UP..THE LIST, UNTIL YOU HIT
THE TRANSPORTS WHICH HAVE ALMOST NO..FIG
HTING CAPABILITY. YOU PRESS SPACE TO FIG
HT A ROUND OR ESC TO..WIMP OUT AND RETRE
AT. COMBAT CONTINUES UNTIL ONE SIDE RETR
EATS OR..IS DESTROYED. KEEP PRESSING SPA

AT YOU'LL BE SEEING MOST OF THE TIME IS
THE MAIN MAP. THIS ON..THE SCREEN DURING
MOST OF THE PRODUCTION AND MOVEMENT PHA
SES. THE..GRAPHIC DISPLAY SHOWS A PORTIO
N OF THE GALAXY MAP. THE CIRCULAR..TYPE
PATTERNS WHICH CHANGE SHAPE ARE STAR SYS
TEMS. THE..NON-CHANGING SHAPES ARE DUST
CLOUDS. THE SOLID BLOCK IS YOUR..CURSOR.
THE SHAPES THAT RESEMBLE THE ENTERPRISE
AND KLINGON..VESSELS ARE TASK FORCES. E

IT..SHOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS:....
STAR SYSTEM: # : PLANET

TARAZED : 4 : HOSTILE : 15: 90: 5
.. K : BROWN : :
: : :....WHERE IT SAYS "TARAZED" W
ILL BE THE NAME OF THE STAR SYSTEM...AGA
IN, IGNORE "K" AND "BROWN". THE THREE LI
NES UNDER "PLANET",.."POP", "IND", AND "
SOC" WILL BE INFORMATION ON THE PLANETS.
.BELONGING TO THIS SYSTEM (THERE MAY BE
FROM 0-3). UNDER #, WILL..BE THE NUMBER
OF THE PLANET FROM ITS SUN (THIS HAS NO
REAL USE IN..THE GAME). PLANET WILL SHOW
THE RELATIVE LIFE-SUPPORTING..CAPABILIT
IES OF THE PLANET. PRIMARY IS THE BEST I
N THE SYSTEM,..SECONDARY IS NEXT, TERTIA
RY IS THE THIRD BEST IN THER SYSTEM,..WH
ILE HOSTILE MEANS THE PLANET HAS AN ENVI
RONMENT THAT WILL NOT..SUPPORT LIFE, SO
IF YOU TRY TO COLONIZE IT, YOUR COLONIST
S ARE..HISTORY. POP IS THE MAXIMUM NUMBE
R OF COLONISTS THE PLANET WILL..SUPPORT.
YOU CAN EXCEED IT, BUT DON'T BE SURPRIS
ED IF THEY START..DYING OFF. IND IS THE
MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF INDUSTRY THE PLANET WI
LL..SUPPORT. YOU CAN'T EXCEED THIS ONE.
SOC IS THE SOCIAL LEVEL OF..THE PLANET (
MAXIMUM). I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE SOCIAL
LEVEL DOES,..BUT YOU CAN ALSO EXCEED TH
IS ONE, BUT TRY NOT TO, OR THE PLANET..W
ILL BEGIN TO LOSE PEOPLE.....WHEN YOU HA
VE THE PLANET DATA ON THE SCREEN, YOU CA
N PRESS RETURN..TO SET UP THAT PLANET'S
PRODUCTION IF YOU ARE IN THE PRODUCTION.

S OF THE PHASE, YOU CAN..PRESS E TO GET
A BETTER INSIGHT ON THIS PLANET'S DATA A

.. =============================
===========....HIGH POINTS OF THIS ARE:.
. TARAZED IS STAR SYSTEM NAME... UNDER
PLANETARY SYSTEM ARE THE PLANETS FOR TH
IS STAR SYSTEM... THERE ARE TWO FOR T
HIS EXAMPLE. UNDER EACH, YOU SEE THE OWN
ER.. OF THE PLANET (* IS NO OWNER), I
TS INDUSTRY / MAXIMUM.. INDUSTRY, POP
ULATION AND SOCIAL LEVEL DONE THE SAME W
AY. YOU.. ALSO GET THE PDB (PLANETARY
DEFENSE BUDGET), IN OTHER WORDS,.. H
OW MANY RP'S YOU'RE SPENDING ON DEFENSE.
....THIS CHART ALSO APPEARS DURING THE P
RODUCTION PHASE, AND I'LL..REFER BACK TO
IT THEN..... PRO
DUCTION PHASE.... THIS IS WHERE YOU USE
THE RESOURCES OF YOUR COLONIES TO BETTE
R..YOUR GAME SITUATION. I ASSUME YOU CAN
MOVE THE CURSOR TO THE..PLANET WHICH YO
U'RE GOING TO PRODUCE OUT OF AND HAVE HI
T RETURN..TO START PRODUCTION. WHAT YOU
WILL GET ON THE SCREEN IS A..COMBINATION
OF THE SCREEN I HAVE SHOWED FOR THE E C
OMMAND (SEE..ABOVE) AND A LOWER SCREEN W
HERE YOU CAN SELECT HOW YOU WANT TO..BUD
GET YOUR RP'S. MOST OF THE CATEGORIES AR
E SELF-EXPLANATORY,..BUT HERE ARE A FEW
ANYWAY. EXPLORERS, WHO KNOWS? I HAVE NEV
ER YET..FOUND A USE FOR THEM. PLANET ENV
IRONMENT KEEPS YOUR POPULATION..FROM DYI
NG OFF AS QUICKLY. SHIP DEVELOPMENT IS U
SED TO ADVANCE..THE TYPES OF SHIPS YOU C
AN BUILD. THE MORE YOU PUT IN, THE FASTE
R..YOU CAN BUILD MARK II'S, III'S, AND I
V'S. SERVICE POPULATION IS..HOW MANY PEO
PLE YOU WANT TO SUPPORT. THE NUMBER DEFA
ULTS TO..POPULATION VALUE, SO IF YOU ARE
OVERPOPULATED AND WANT TO KILL..OFF SOM
E PEOPLE, REDUCE THIS NUMBER... IN THE
UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THE LOWER SECTION
OF THE SCREEN,..YOU WILL GET A READOUT O
F FOUR ITEMS: GLOBAL RP'S, PLANET RP'S,.
.REMAINING RP'S, AND RP'S USED. RP'S USE
D AND REMAINING ARE PRETTY..OBVIOUS. GLO
BAL RP'S ARE NATURAL RESOURCES, ONCE YOU
USE THEM,..THEY DO NOT REPLENISH THEMSE
LVES. PLANET RP'S ARE WHAT YOUR..INDUSTR
Y PRODUCES, SO BY BUILDING MORE INDUSTRY
YOU GET MORE..RP'S. THESE ARE REPLENISH
ED. A WORD OF WARNING: YOUR REMAINING RP
..READOUT INCLUDES GLOBAL RP'S, SO IF YO
U WANT TO KEEP SOME GLOBAL..RP'S AROUND,
LEAVE SOME RP'S UNUSED... USE RETURN T
O GO THROUGH THE CATEGORIES AND TYPE A N
EW NUMBER..TO CHANGE ONE. AFTER YOU HAVE
ENTERED ALL YOUR VALUES, PRESS ESC..TO
CONFIRM THEM AND GO BACK TO THE MAP. YOU
CAN ALSO USE THE KEYS..N, TO CHANGE THE
NAME OF THE STAR SYSTEM, OR L, TO GO BA
CK TO THE..MAIN MAP WITHOUT ACCEPTING TH
E VALUES YOU ENTERED... WHEN YOU ARE DO
NE ALL PLANETS, USE CTRL-E E TO END THE
PHASE..... MOVEM
ENT PHASE.... AGAIN, MOVE THE CURSOR ON
TO THE TASK FORCE YOU WANT TO MOVE AND..
HIT RETURN. YOU WILL GET A STATUS LINE L
