- How to play:
- As a Star Ranger, your job is to patrol the galactic frontier and
- protect the colonies from raiders and the forces of the evil dracon
- empire.
-
- As you patrol each sector you, will face many dangerous enemies.
- each wave will have its own unique attack strategy geared to confuse
- you and destroy your ship. You need to adapt to their fighting
- method quickly or they will kill you.
-
- NOTE: you have a limited fuel supply that has to last you until
- you reach your mother ship and you will have to destroy five
- waves of enemies to get there. Once you reach your mother ship,
- you will receive bonus points for any fuel you have left.
-
- BEWARE: Your lasers heat up each time you fire them, and need to
- cool off to avoid overheating. If you fire too many shots too
- quickly, your lasers will overheat and you won't be able to fire for
- 20 seconds while they cool down.
