SPACE WAR STRATEGY TIPS
After you master controlling your Star Ship, you're ready to develop game strategy. The following tips should help you begin your competitive strategy for Space Shuttle and Space War games.
SPACE WAR
•Change your Star Ship's position as soon as the game is in the Start position. The initial location of the Star Ships makes it easier for players to score a direct hit.
•Keep close surveillance on your opponent's missile supply gauge. Plan your shots so that your opponent deletes his missile supply first, leaving no defense against your missiles.
•Note that missile supplies are automatically replenished only when BOTH players have used all their missiles. Use this feature to you advantage when these three variables occur at once:
o Your opponent has no remaining missiles. o You have remaining missiles.
o You are playing in a galaxy with a Starbase.
Leave your opponent without a chance for resupplying missiles by obtaining all of your missiles at the Starbase BEFORE your supplies are completely depleted.
SPACE SHUTTLE
The easiest way to match you Star Ship's speed with the Space Module speed it to first, stop your ship. Point it in the DIRECTION the module is travelling. Apply thrust until the Star Ship and the Space Module are moving at the same speed. Then move the Star Ship towards the Space Module.
To efficiently make your Star Ship contact the Module:
•Your Star Ship must travel at the same speed as the Space Module.
•Your Star Ship must travel in the same direction as the Space Module.
Now point your Ship at the Module and apply thrust.
