KNOWN ISSUES
-------------
We have had problems with some ATI Rage chipset 3D cards.  On the problem cards 
the 2D window never closes after a mission is started, making it impossible to 
play the game.  There is no known workaround or fix.

On the system tested, the Matrox Productiva G100 hard locks on the main menu.  
There is no known workaround or fix.

The following cards had problems with polys dropping out of the ship models 
during combat:

Diamond Stealth II G460
Trident3D *
ATI 3D Rage Pro *

* Note: These cards as tested were below the 8MB minimum video memory 
specification for Klingon Academy.  These issues may not be present in cards 
that utilize the same chipset but meet the 8MB video card memory requirements.

On the Matrox G400, there is a minor graphics problem where the mouse cursor 
appears as a black box during certain in-game dialog sequences.  Also, there may 
be some white dots that appear on the screen in the 3D game window.

The art for the Damage Control Station indicates the Repair Macros are linked to 
the F9 - F12 Keys.  This is incorrect.  Due to a conflict in the game code the 
F9 - F12 Keys do not function in the solo player game.

On rare occasions, the AI appears to shut off.

In Demo Mission 1, it has happened on occassion that you complete the "Destroy 
All Romulans" objective but the mission does not end.  There is a workaround.  
If your First Officer does not report that "All enemy resistance has been 
eliminated." several seconds after the destruction of the Romulan command 
cruiser, press ESC to go to the in-game menu, click on CONTINUE. This should 
trigger the ending movie for the mission.




-----------------------
 Last Minute Notes:
-----------------------

*	This interactive demo is intended as a stand-alone, solo-play version of 
Klingon Academy with the following features:

	Quick battle scenario editor with two different ships and four star
	systems featuring 3 different terrains.

	2 demo-only solo-play missions. These missions were created solely for
      this interactive-demo, and are considered to be 'reduced' from the full
	version.

	Quickstart tutorial teaching the basics of commanding warships in
	Klingon Academy. 


*	Quick battle and the solo-play missions are designed and balanced for 
varying difficulty. Quick battle (when the player commands the Klingon 
battlecruiser) is the easiest battle scenario when the odds are even. Demo 
mission #1, "Incursion", is the next hardest, providing a medium-grade challenge 
at a default difficulty setting. Finally, Demo mission #2, "A Dish Best Served 
Cold", is the hardest. It is designed to provide a tough challenge on the lowest 
difficulty setting, and an extremely tough challenge at the hardest difficulty 
setting. For tips and clues for any of the above scenarios, check the Klingon 
Academy questions forum at: http://feedback.interplay.com/klingon/

*	There will be a multiplayer version of this demo approximately 30 days 
after the release of the solo play only version.

3.1 INTERFACES
--------------

3.1.1 Head Up Display (HUD)
---------------------------

3.1.1.1 TARGET ANALYSIS (STARSHIPS)
When you target an enemy vessel and have sufficient sensor efficiency, the 
information in this display will fill in, the higher the sensor efficiency, the 
more information that is displayed.

CLASS/NAME DISPLAY
Depending upon the sensor efficiency this field may read "Unknown", or list the 
class of the vessel, or even the specific name of the vessel.

WIRE FRAME
This is a graphical representation of the targeted starship, and is a general 
indicator of its hull integrity.  As the target is damaged, this wire frame gets 
darker and darker.  When the target is nearing destruction, it will begin to 
flash.  Ships that are lifeless hulks display as dark gray.

SHIELD INDICATORS
These represent the strength of the various shield facings of the target.  The 
number is the shield strength of the target expressed as a percentage.  The 
remainder is a graphical representation of relative strength.  These indicators 
darken as the shields get damaged, then begin flashing just before they drop.  
Downed shield facings display nothing.  The sections surrounding the wire frame 
represent the forward, aft, port, and starboard shields.  There are two segments 
represented by half circles.  The upper half-circle is the dorsal, or top 
shield, the lower half-circle is the ventral, or bottom shield.

ARMED STATUS
This indicator appears if the target vessel's weapons are armed.

ECM INDICATOR
This indicator appears if the target vessel has activated ECM.

EXTERNAL SYSTEMS STATUS
This is a list of the systems on the target vessel that can be directly targeted 
by your ship's weapons.

DISTANCE TO TARGET
This shows the distance to target.

TARGET SPEED
This shows the speed that the target is traveling at.  A negative number 
indicates the target is moving in reverse.


3.1.1.2 TARGET ANALYSIS (PLANETS)
NAME DISPLAY
Depending upon the sensor efficiency this field may read "Unknown" or list the 
name of the planet.

DISTANCE TO PLANET SURFACE
This shows the distance to the surface of the planet.

PLANETARY INFORMATION/SUBTARGETS
This shows any library data known about the planet, or displays any targets of 
interest on the planet's surface.


3.1.1.3 SHIP STATUS
This shows the pertinent information about your own vessel.

NAME DISPLAY
This is the name of your vessel.

EXTERNAL SYSTEMS STATUS
This is a list of the systems on the your vessel that can be directly targeted 
by an enemy ship's weapons.

WIRE FRAME
This is a graphical representation of the your starship, and is a general 
indicator of its hull integrity.  As the target is damaged, this wire frame gets 
darker and darker.  When your ship is nearing destruction, it will begin to 
flash.

SHIELD INDICATORS
These represent the strength of the various shield facings of your ship.  The 
number is the shield strength of the target expressed as a percentage.  The 
remainder is a graphical representation of relative strength.  These indicators 
darken as the shields get damaged, then begin flashing just before they drop.  
Downed shield facings display nothing.  The sections surrounding the wire frame 
represent the forward, aft, port, and starboard shields.  There are two segments 
represented by half circles.  The upper half-circle is the dorsal, or top 
shield, the lower half-circle is the ventral, or bottom shield.

TRACTOR BEAM INDICATOR
This indicator appears when the tractor beam is receiving power.  The indicator 
brightens as the tractor beam charges up, and becomes bright red when full 
charged.  If the target vessel is within tractor beam range the indicator turns 
yellow.  When the tractor beam is on, the indicator will flash.

CURRENT SPEED
This displays your current speed as a numerical value.  Negative speeds indicate 
traveling in reverse.  

IMPULSE THROTTLE
The impulse throttle is made up of several parts.  The triangular pip on the top 
indicated your desired speed.  The meter fills in with yellow indicating your 
current speed.  The triangular pip on the bottom indicates the maximum speed 
attainable with the power currently allocated to impulse movement.

WEAPONS INDICATORS
Here, icons represent all weapons in the forward arc of your starship.  Each 
type of weapon gets a different icon, and each weapon tube or emitter gets its 
own icon.  For example, if a ship has 2 photon torpedoes tubes, there would be 
two icons of the same type here, the type representing the fact that they are 
photon torpedo tubes and the number indicating there are two separate launchers.  
As the weapons charge up, the icons get brighter.  When fired, the icons go dark 
and then brighten up as they recharge.  If the target is capable of being hit by 
an individual weapon, the icon turns green.  Destroyed weapons show up as dark 
gray.


3.1.1.4 MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY
The Multifunction Display can be configured to show a variety of information.  
Only one function can be active at any given time.

MISSION OBJECTIVES
This function will display the current mission objectives and their completion 
status.

MISSION CLOCK
This indicates how much time is left for you to complete your mission.  If you 
do not check in at the mission rendezvous point before the timer expires your 
mission is a failure.  In the Academy, you face dismissal from the 
Academy.  In actual service, you may face demotion...or worse.


3.1.1.5 TARGET ASPECT ANGLE
This window displays a real-time rendered full color model of the target vessel.  
This window shows the target's aspect angle relative to your own as well as 
visible damage.


3.1.1.6 SENSOR (RADAR) DISPLAY
This display shows the currently selected radar display.  A single letter is 
listed below the sensor display indicating the range setting of the sensors.   
In all modes, known enemy vessels will appear as red dots, friendly vessels will 
appear as green dots, and unidentified vessels will appear as gray dots, and 
heavenly bodies will appear as gray dots.  Ships that are detected while cloaked 
will appear as a blinking white dot.

ELLIPTICAL RADAR
The sensor display is divided into four quadrants, indicating forward, aft or 
rear, port or left, and starboard or right.  Any given blip will be located in 
one of these quadrants indicating what side of your ship it is on.  A blip may 
be attached to a stick, if the blip is attached to the top of the stick it is 
above you, if it is on the bottom of the stick it is below you.  The length of 
the stick is an indication of how far above or below you the blip is.  Blips 
with no stick are level with your ship.

FORE / AFT BORE-SIGHT
The sensor display consists of two circles, one depicting all vessels in front 
of the player's ship, and the other depicting all vessels behind the ship.  
Objects above, below or on the sides of the player's ship appear at the outer 
edges of the displays.  If this mode is selected, the aft display is located in 
the upper left corner of the HUD while the forward display remains in the upper 
right.  The target aspect angle display moves to the upper center of the HUD.

TARGETED SHIP INDICATOR
When you target an object, a target indicator is placed upon that object's 
graphic.  This indicator is composed of three arrows.  When you lock the 
targeted object, the three arrows become outlined.  The arrows making up the 
targeting indicator are yellow-orange if the enemy is outside of primary weapon 
range, dark red if the enemy is within primary weapons range, and bright red if 
within range of the secondary weapons.


3.1.1.7 MISCELLANEOUS HUD INDICATORS
TARGETING RETICLE
The targeting reticle indicates the direction of travel for the starship as well 
as the aiming point if in manual targeting mode.

TARGET DIRECTION INDICATOR
A small red triangle moves around the targeting reticule that always points to 
the center of the Targeted Ship Indicator, indicating which direction you should 
turn to acquire the target.

TRACTOR BEAM DIRECTION INDICATORS
Similar to the Target Direction Indicator, a small triangle moves around the 
targeting reticule indicating the direction of a tractor link.  If you 
established the tractor link, the triangle is blue color.  If you are being 
tractored, the triangle is yellow.  These indicators indicate which direction 
you should turn to face the target of your tractor beam in the case of a blue 
triangle, or to face the enemy that has you in a tractor beam of their own.

MAGNIFICATION INDICATOR
Near the targeting reticule, a small text readout will appear of the 
magnification of the main view screen is set to any level other than normal.


3.1.1.8 EMERGENCY MANEUVERS
Through the VOS or via hotkeys you can send an immediate command to the Helmsman 
to perform a dangerous emergency maneuver.  By pressing Emergency Full Turn, the 
ship will be allowed to make sharp turns in excess of its design specifications.  
By pressing Emergency Full Stop, the ship will come to a complete stop very 
quickly and will transfer movement power to shields.  By pressing Emergency Full 
Reverse, the ship will almost immediately stop and begin accelerating in 
reverse.  All of these emergency maneuvers place a significant strain of the 
ship's superstructure and engines, and may cause a breakdown to occur.


3.1.2 GUNNERY CHAIR
-------------------
The gunnery chair allows you to take command of the various weapons arcs of your 
starship.  Depending upon your gunnery mode, you may rotate the gunnery chair or 
have the chair automatically adjust to bring your weapons to bear on enemies on 
all sides; port, starboard, and aft as well as forward. (See section 2.3.3) The 
interface of the Gunnery Chair is mostly identical to the Head Up Display (HUD) 
with the omission of the Target Aspect Angle Display (Picture in Picture) and 
the conversion of the standard radar into the Gunnery Radar or Strip Radar.

GUNNERY RADAR DISPLAY (STRIP RADAR)
The Gunnery Radar is divided into five sections.  The center section defines the 
area of the forward weapons arc.  To the left of the forward weapons arc is the 
area of the port arc.  To the right of the forward weapons arc is the starboard 
arc segment.  The two small sections at the extreme left and right of the strip 
represent the aft arc.  The small rectangular box represents the area you are 
currently viewing.  The thick dashed line running horizontally through the radar 
strip represents the horizontal plane of your ship.  Targets above this line are 
above your ship, and targets below the line are below your ship as well.  The 
thinner dashed lines above and below the horizontal centerline indicate the 
maximum elevation/depression of the gunnery chair.  As in the HUD radar modes, 
known enemy vessels will appear as red dots, friendly vessels will appear as 
blue dots, and unidentified vessels will appear as gray dots, and heavenly 
bodies will appear as gray dots or circles.  Ships that are detected while 
cloaked will appear as a blinking white dot.

WEAPONS INDICATORS
Below each arc segment of the Gunnery Radar are icons that represent all weapons 
in the arc section above them.  Each type of weapon gets a different icon, and 
each weapon tube or emitter gets its own icon.  For example, if a ship has 2 
photon torpedoes tubes, there would be two icons of the same type here, the type 
representing the fact that they are photon torpedo tubes and the number 
indicating there are two separate launchers.  As the weapons charge up, the 
icons get brighter.  When fired, the icons go dark and then brighten up as they 
recharge.  If the target is capable of being hit by an individual weapon, the 
icon turns green.  Destroyed weapons show up as dark gray.


3.1.3 ENGINEERING
-----------------
The Engineering Screen is the master power grid for the starship.  The power 
controls from every officer's station (interface screen) are duplicated here so 
you can more effectively manage his ship's power.  From this screen the player 
can review his starship's overall power allocation at a glance, and can prepare 
power allocation macros that will redirect power to all ship stations with a 
single keystroke or verbal order.

3.1.3.1 MASTER POWER GRID
POWER ALLOCATION CONTROLS
By using power controls you can indicate how much power you want a system to 
receive.  There are four types of power controls used on the different bridge 
stations.  The control utilized by most systems is the power booster.  The power 
booster control consists of an "On / Off" button followed by a slider and an 
efficiency percentage.  Pressing the On button will allocate the minimum amount 
of power necessary to activate the system.  Once activated, the efficiency 
percentage for the system will be displayed.  Damage, crew experience and 
staffing level, elite officers can modify the efficiency of a system, and the 
amount of power allocated to the system.  The efficiency of the Sensor, Tractor 
Beam and Transporter systems are further modified by the following factors 
external to the ship: range to the currently selected target, ECM of that target 
and terrain effects.  Once a system has been turned on, you may increase the 
effective efficiency of the system by using the slider to allocate more power to 
that system.  The slider range is from 1 unit of power up to 50% of the ship's 
original total power output.  The impact of additional power to a system's 
effective efficiency is determined by a formula unique to each system.  By 
experimentation you can figure out how power affects each system.

The control utilized in Helm section consists of a power slider with the 
markings of a throttle gage.  Moving the slider along these gages will allocate 
the necessary power to move at the indicated speed.  The control utilized in the
Medical section consists of an on / off button followed by a three position 
toggle switch and an efficiency percentage.  The toggle switch will alternate 
between "Standby," "Medical Alert" and "Emergency."  Once activated, sickbay 
will automatically stabilize the condition of any current casualties and reduce 
the number of incoming casualties.  All levels of medical power will heal crew 
during the time spent in warp travel, but at the higher the levels more crew 
will be returned to active duty upon arrival at your warp destination. In the 
Weapons section are controls for the tractor beam, cloaking device, shields and 
all weapons systems.  Of these, the tractor beam utilizes the power booster 
control described above, and the cloaking device is controlled by a single on / 
off switch.  The cloaking device switch will engage the cloak and automatically 
divert power from systems that will not function while cloaked, such as ECM, 
Tractor Beam, and Shields.  The ship's shields and weapon systems are each 
controlled by an on / off button next to a small triangular button and a row of 
LED lights.  Shields and weapons aboard a starship are grouped into banks, with 
a single bank for each firing arc.  The row of LED lights indicate that status 
of each bank of that system, yellow representing basic charge, orange 
representing a weapon overloaded or a shield reinforced up to 150%, and red 
representing a weapon overloaded or a shield reinforced over 150%.  If a bank is 
not powered no indicator will display.  Pressing the small triangular button 
next to the resource will replace the LED lights with a Bank Preferences window.  
Within this window, the player may elect to turn off or overload an individual 
bank. Listed within the window will be the name of each bank (arc) and a button 
that cycles between three settings: off, charge, and overload.  When this button 
is set to the overload position, a second button will appear which will cycle 
between the following overload settings: 125%, 150%, 175%, and 200% (for shields 
this represents reinforcement).  Pressing the On button for shields or a weapon 
system will activate all banks.

POWER ALLOCATION PRIORITIES
To the right of each control on the Engineering screen is the system's priority 
number.  You may assign a priority level to a given system by clicking on the up 
or down buttons next to the priority number.  By assigning a priority number to 
a system, you indicate the order you would like each system to receive power in 
case of a power shortage. Systems with a low allocation number (such as 1) will 
receive power before resources with larger numbers.  The priority assigned to a 
resource must be between 1 and 9.  Multiple resources may share the same 
priority value.

POWER LOSS
Should the ship be damaged and its reactor output reduced, the Chief Engineer 
will use the Priorities given by the player to decide which resources to shut 
down, and which resources to keep powered.  When power is later restored or made 
available when the player shuts down a resource (or it gets blown up), the Chief 
Engineer will attempt to utilize the newly available power to replenish 
resources he previously had to shut down.


3.1.3.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION DISPLAY
This display shows the distribution of power aboard your starship.  It is 
divided into two sections, the Available Reserve Power section and the Power 
Consumption section.  As power is consumed, the Available Reserve display drains 
and the Power Consumption display fills.  As power is made available, the Power 
Consumption display drains and the Available Reserve display fills.   The sum of 
both sides is equal to the total power output of the starship.

AVAILABLE RESERVE POWER
The Available Reserve Power meter provides a general indication of how much 
power is immediately available for use without diverting power from other 
resources as well as an indication of how much of that power is coming from what 
power generator.  The meter appears as a stack of colored triangles.  The 
triangles come in three colors: yellow for warp, red/orange for impulse, and 
dark red for auxiliary.  As power is allocated to ship resources, these colored 
triangles will drain.

POWER CONSUMPTION
This meter indicates what percentage of the current reactor output is being 
consumed by three groups of systems: movement (helm), weapons, and operations 
(all other stations).  The meter appears as a stack of colored triangles.  The 
triangles come in three colors: yellow for movement, red/orange for operations, 
and dark red for weapons.  As power is allocated to ship resources, these 
colored triangles will drain.


3.1.3.3 POWER ALLOCATION ORDERS
The Power Allocation Orders section is where you can save power allocation / 
priority settings as a macro that can be called up at the touch of a button.  To 
save the ship's current power allocation setting, you need only push the save 
button followed by the macro number he would like to save it as.  The save 
button will remain depressed and lit until you select the macro number to save 
it as.  By clicking on the macro name you can change the name of the macro.


3.1.3.4 SELF DESTRUCT
On the Engineering screen, there is a pair of sliding covers surrounded by a red 
outline.  Clicking on these covers will cause them to open, revealing the self-
destruct button beneath.  The panel will close automatically should you choose 
to reconsider your decision.  Pressing the self-destruct button begins an 
irreversible ten-second counter after which the ship will explode.  A ship 
cannot self-destruct if its warp core has been ejected or its warp engines are 
totally destroyed.  Because of the power needed to initiate a sufficient core 
breach, the cloaking device of a self-destructing ship will automatically 
deactivate.


3.1.4 DAMAGE CONTROL
--------------------

3.1.4.1 DAMAGE CONTROL BOARD
SYSTEMS
This column is a list of all the systems aboard the ship that can be damaged and 
that might require repairs at some point.

EFFICIENCY RATING
The percentage given for each resource is a measure its damage status, with 100% 
being fully functional.  Next to the percentage is a one-word description, 
summing up roughly how damaged that particular system is.  These are in 
ascending order from the worst: Destroyed, Extensive, Critical, Heavy, and 
Minor.  Undamaged systems simply show a dash.  Occasionally this description is 
replaced with a button labeled "Bank".  This is a Banked system and is discussed 
in the Banked Systems section below.

PRIORITY SLIDERS
These sliders are used to divide up the resources given to damage control among 
the various ship systems.  Each slider represents up to 25% of damage control 
resources, meaning that at no time may you have more than 4 sliders set to 
maximum.  If the slider is set all the way to the left, or at 0, the system will 
never receive any repairs.  If you increase one slider, all other sliders will 
decrease automatically.  To prevent this automatic decrease, you may lock in the 
resource allocation level by clicking on the lock button next to the slider you 
wish to lock.  If a system is fully repaired, the resources given to it are 
automatically redistributed to the systems that are still damaged.  This 
eliminates wasted resources, and some micromanagement.

BANKED SYSTEMS
Some damage control sliders, such as those for shields and weapons do not 
represent a single resource, but a bank of resources.  In these cases, the 
Efficiency Rating represents the average efficiency of all resources within the 
bank and the total repair time provided is the sum of the repair times for all 
resources in the bank.  By pressing the Bank Button, the window on the lower 
right will display the repair status, priority sliders, and total repair times 
for each system in the bank.

TOTAL REPAIR TIME
This column displays estimates of the time required for the systems to be fully 
repaired.  Undamaged systems display a dash.

PERMANENT DAMAGE
Occasionally a system will suffer some damage that cannot be repaired fully in 
the field.  This is especially true in cases where a portion of the ship has 
been blown off or gutted out, such as the loss of a weapon tube or a warp 
nacelle.  In this event, when the system is repaired as much as possible, the 
Total Repair Time field is replaced with word MAX, indicating it can receive no 
further repairs.  When MAX is reached the system is treated as if it were fully 
repaired and resources assigned to it are automatically redistributed as normal.


3.1.4.2 POWER ALLOCATION SLIDER
At all times damage control is functioning at some level aboard your ship.  This 
is an indication that your crew is diligently working on the repairs they can.  
By activating the Damage Control system you are assisting the damage control 
teams by providing them with power for temporary force fields, to shore up 
damaged bulkheads, contain plasma leaks, etc.  The more power allocated, the 
higher this rate is increased.  Any power allocated to damage control over this 
minimum power will reduce the time required to complete repairs.  This slider is 
similar to the power allocation slider on the Engineering screen.  By increasing 
or decreasing the slider, you can change the power request for Damage Control.  
Unlike the slider on the power allocation screen, this slider does not enable 
you to set the power priority of Damage Control.  Instead, a priority override 
button is next to the slider.  By pressing the priority override button, the 
power priority of the selected resource will temporarily be set as the highest 
priority.  This insures that the item receives the power it is requesting.  Only 
one resource at a time may be on priority override.


3.1.4.3 REPAIR ORDERS
The Repair Orders panel enables you to save your current damage control settings 
as a macro.  To save the current power settings, all a player must do is click 
the Save Orders button, followed by one of the macro buttons.  By double 
clicking on the name of the macro, the player can rename it.  The player can 
then automatically change his damage control preferences by pressing one of the 
macro buttons or calling the macro from the Tactical HUD.  A damage control 
macro will remember the settings of the sliders, whether a slider is locked or 
not, and the settings of the banked sliders.  The macro does NOT remember or 
change the actual amount of power allocated to the Damage Control System itself; 
that is handled by the engineering screen.


3.1.5 HELM
----------

3.1.5.1 SECTOR / SYSTEM MAP DISPLAY
This section of the interface consists of a main view window, a "Center" button, 
a collection of 6 buttons labeled "Rotation", a collection of 6 more buttons 
labeled "Position", a button labeled "System", and a button labeled "Sector".

VIEW WINDOW
The default item displayed in the view window is the Sector map of your theater 
of operations, or the area in which the campaign you are currently involved with 
is taking place.  All the local star systems are shown as white dots on the 
grid.  You may click on any square on the grid, which will plot a course for 
those grid coordinates and display them, along with the destination name and ETA 
at the current warp speed.  You may only warp to grid coordinates containing a 
white dot.
The other item that displays in the view window is a cubic 3D-map of the star 
system you are currently in.  This map is accessible by clicking on the "System" 
button.  Course plotting on this map is handled either by clicking on a body in 
the map cube or by using the 6 "Position" buttons.  The 6 "Rotation" buttons are 
used to rotate the System map for better viewing.  You may return to the Sector 
map at any time by clicking on the "Sector" button.

CENTER
This button is used to reset the 3d-map of the system you are in to its starting 
position.

ROTATION
This group of 6 buttons is used to rotate the 3d-map of the system you are in.  
The directional arrows control pitch and yaw while the + and - buttons zoom in 
and out.

SYSTEM
Sets the view window to display the 3D-map of the system you are in.

SECTOR
Sets the view window to display the 3D-map of the Sector map of your theater of 
operations, or the area in which the campaign you are currently involved with is 
taking place.

POSITION
This group of 6 buttons is used to move the Course Destination cursor around on 
both maps.  In the System map, the directional arrows move the cursor forward, 
backward, left and right while the + and - buttons change the cursor's altitude.  
In the Sector map the directional buttons move up, down, left, and right.  The + 
and - buttons are not used.


3.1.5.2 MISSION LIST
This scroll box displays a chronological list all systems involved in the 
current mission.  Systems can be added to or removed from this list as events 
transpire within the mission.


3.1.5.3 SECTOR / SYSTEM LIST
When the System Map is active this scroll box will display an alphabetical list 
of all stellar objects within the system and will be labeled 'System List.'  
When the Sector Map is active, it will display an alphabetical list of all 
systems in the sector and will be labeled 'Sector List.'  When the System List 
is active you may also look up a system by typing its name.


3.1.5.4 WARP THROTTLE
From the warp throttle, you can set your starship's warp speed.  The warp 
throttle is made up of a speed meter, a power meter, and two slider controls.

SPEED METER
The speed meter indicates two pieces of information.  The meter fills in with 
yellow up to the currently set warp speed.  The numbers to the right of the 
meter demarcate the different Warp Factors.

POWER METER
The power meter fills in with yellow to indicate exactly how much power is 
currently reserved for warp travel.

SPEED SETTING SLIDER
This slider knob controls the desired speed of warp travel.  Note that the 
slider may not be moved above the maximum speed attainable at the current power 
level.

POWER ALLOCATION SLIDER
This slider is similar to the power allocation slider on the Engineering screen.  
By increasing or decreasing this slider, you can change the power request for 
warp travel.


3.1.5.5 IMPULSE THROTTLE
From the impulse throttle, you can set your starship's impulse speed.  The 
impulse throttle, like the warp throttle, is made up of a speed meter, a power 
meter, and two slider controls with one important difference.  The power meter 
does not go all the way to the bottom, but instead ends at the "Stop" 
demarcation on the large meter, because "Stop" is the speed setting that 
requires no power.  If the power slider is set high enough the Speed Setting 
slider can be moved below the "Stop" demarcation to start the ship traveling in 
reverse.

SPEED METER
The speed meter indicates two pieces of information.  First, it fills in with 
orange to indicate the desired speed set.  The meter fills in with yellow up to 
the currently actual impulse speed.  To the right of the meter are various 
throttle level marks, ranging from Full to Stop and as low as -1/4 impulse, or 
1/4 impulse in reverse.

POWER METER
The power meter fills in with yellow to indicate exactly how much power is 
currently reserved for impulse movement.

SPEED SETTING SLIDER
This slider knob controls the desired impulse speed.  This slider may be moved 
in either direction above or below the "Stop" demarcation, as long as sufficient 
power is allocated.  Note that the slider may not be moved above the maximum 
speed attainable at the current power level.

POWER ALLOCATION SLIDER
This slider is similar to the power allocation slider on the Engineering screen.  
By increasing or decreasing this slider, you can change the power request for 
impulse movement.


3.1.5.6 CURRENT LOCATION INFORMATION WINDOW
This window displays information about the ship's current location including 
system name and coordinates.


3.1.5.7 PLOT COURSE WINDOW
This window displays information about the ship's selected location including 
system name, coordinates and an ETA to the system at the current warp speed.  If 
the "System Map" is being displayed, this window will provide information about 
the selected stellar object.


3.1.5.8 HELM ORDERS
Whenever you are in the Gunnery Chair, the AI helmsman will take over flying the 
ship so your ship will not be an easy target for enemies.  The helm orders 
control enables you to determine how the helmsman will fly the ship.  By 
selecting evasive maneuvers, the helmsman will fly in such a way as to make the 
ship difficult to hit.  Pursue Target will instruct the helmsman to fly in such 
a way as to bring the forward weapons to bear on the target vessel.  If the 
target is destroyed, the helmsman will pursue the next target.  Maintain Course 
instructs the navigator to keep his "hands off" the controls and allow the ship 
to continue in a straight line.


3.1.5.9 MISSION CLOCK
The ship's mission clock is a counter that begins at the start of every mission.  
It measures the time the player has been on the mission in weeks, days, hours, 
minutes and seconds.  The clock advances in real time, except when the player is 
in warp.


3.1.5.10 ENGAGE
Below the warp and impulse throttles is the Engage button.  Pressing this button 
will cause the ship to enter warp, leaving its present location and moving to 
the selected location listed in the Plot Course Window, be it in-system or out.  
Upon clicking the engage button you will be automatically returned to the HUD 
view in the case of in-system warps, or to the external warp viewpoint in the 
case of out system warp.  Note that in-system travel always occurs at Warp 
Factor 1. 


3.1.6 MEDICAL
-------------
STARSHIP PERSONNEL SPECIFICATION
At the very top of the Medical screen are a wire frame of the ship and a text 
description of its class, recommended complements of crew and marines and its 
maximum crew complement.

CREW & MARINE STATUS
This readout displays the health status and experience of all the ship's crew 
and marines.  Crew Experience is a text description of the crew's experience 
rating using the following classifications and colors:

Experience Class	Color Code
Incompetent	      Red
Trainee	      Yellow
Average	      Green
Veteran	      Purple
Legendary	      Gold

Staffing Level is a percentage number that indicates whether sufficient 
crewmembers are available to effectively operate the starship, based upon the 
number of Active Duty Crew.  Crew Health Meters indicate the number and 
percentage of the ship's crew and marines that are healthy and on active duty, 
wounded, in critical condition, or dead.  The number to the left of each meter 
displays the total number of crew in that condition, while the meter displays 
that number as a percentage of total crew.


ELITE OFFICERS
If you accomplish great exploits one of your officers may prove to be cut above 
the rest.  There are various possible elite officers, and each has a beneficial 
effect on some aspect of your ship's operation.  The officers and their effect 
on your ship are left for you to discover.  Should you obtain an elite officer, 
he will be displayed in this area.


POWER ALLOCATION LEVEL
This toggle operates in the same fashion as the power allocation toggle on the 
Engineering screen.  By changing the setting here you can change the power 
request for sickbay.  Unlike the toggle on the power Engineering station, this 
toggle does not enable you to set the power priority of sickbay.  Instead, a 
priority override button is next to the toggle.  By pressing the priority 
override button, the power priority of the selected resource will temporarily be 
set as the highest priority.  This insures that the item receives the power it 
is requesting.  Only one resource at a time may be on priority override.  If 
sickbay is powered it does two things for you.  First it will stabilize and heal 
wounded crew and marines during warp travel.  Second, it will reduce casualties 
incurred during battle while it is powered.  This second function of medical 
only applies to casualties incurred on your ship.  Marines that are wounded 
aboard and enemy vessel during a boarding engagement are not protected.  Each 
level of sick bay power allocation increases these two effects, with the 
downside of a significantly larger power cost.


3.1.7 PULL-DOWN MENU
--------------------
The pull down menu allows you to directly access all the Bridge Station 
Interfaces.  To access the pull down menu, you must already be at one of the 
Bridge Station Interfaces.  Simply move the mouse cursor to the top of the 
screen and the menu will appear.  Just click on the button labeled as the one 
station you wish to go to.


3.1.8 VERBAL ORDERS SYSTEM (VOS)
--------------------------------
Across the bottom of the Tactical HUD and Gunnery Chair displays is a numbered 
list of your officers.  By pressing a number from the keyboard this list will 
disappear and the officer chosen will be listed on the lower left corner of the 
display.  Above the officer title, a list of the orders that you can give to 
that officer will appear.  The list will temporarily be displayed over your 
ship's status indicators.  When you select an order from this list, that order 
will be displayed at the bottom of the screen next to the officer's name as if 
building a sentence.  If the order does not terminate at that selection, the 
next level of the menu tree will replace the existing list.  Once the player has 
selected a menu option that terminates that branch, Torlek's voice will be heard 
barking out the command and the crewman will respond.  Once you have given an 
order from the verbal order system, the order will be carried out immediately.  
Options that lead to a further menu tree are differentiated from options that 
terminate by a dash placed after the option text.  For example, Boost Sensor 
Power is displayed as "Boost Sensor Power-", indicating that there is an 
additional menu level.  Therefore the order sequence to increase power to the 
Sensors to 50% of your total ship's power would read: "Science- Boost Power to 
Sensors - to 50% Total Ships Power."

Many menus require you to choose a power level, speed or number of crew from a 
whole range of different possibilities.  In these cases, the option that most 
closely represents the ship's current status is highlighted.  For example, if a 
ship had 9% of its total power allocated to communications, then the option '10% 
Total Ship Power' would be high-lighted on the power allocation menu for 
communications.

If a menu option is unavailable or not possible, then it will gray-out.  
Pressing the number of a menu item that is grayed-out will do nothing, not even 
registering as a keystroke and taking you out of the menu.  For example, as 
weapons systems are destroyed or go off-line it will no longer be possible to 
power them, so these options will gray-out in the Verbal Order menu.
Some options support two separate functions that are displayed based on the 
ship's status.  For example, when the cloaking device is turned off, the option 
under the Weapons officer would read "Activate Cloaking Device", but when it is 
turned on, the option would read "Deactivate Cloaking Device".  


3.1.9 ESC MENU
--------------
Hitting the ESC key from the HUD activates this menu during game play.  The game 
is paused while you are on this menu.  Hitting ESC while on this menu will 
return you to the game.

OPTIONS
This button pulls up the options menu in exactly the same fashion as the Options 
button on the main menu.  From here you may adjust various game settings during 
the course of a mission.

CONTINUE
This button will return you to the game.

RESTART
Clicking this button restarts the current mission from the beginning.

EXIT
Clicking this button will ask for a confirmation before returning you to the 
main menu.


========================
4.0 WEAPONS DESCRIPTIONS
========================

-------------------
4.1 ASSAULT PHASERS
-------------------
Nickname: "Super Phasers"
Range: 30,000k
The Assault Phaser is a really heavy phaser.  So heavy, in fact, that only large 
bases and battleships can carry them.  They are the pinnacle of destructive 
power, easily piercing the shields of all but the most powerful starships and 
destroying weaker vessels outright.  Both the Klingon Empire and the Federation 
employ the Assault phaser.

Large bases (Starbases and Battlestations) have great power output capacity and 
large amounts of space that allow them to use their assault phasers as a primary 
weapons system.  This makes a base very difficult to attack and destroy and 
virtually impossible to capture.

The ship-mounted versions can only be mounted spinally, where the hull of the 
ship is built around the weapon system rather than fitting the weapon into a 
hull.  This limitation in mounting gives them an extremely limited firing arc, 
but provides structural support and space for the necessary systems.  Other 
drawbacks to these weapons are that power reactors for ships are unable to 
provide an efficient charge for the weapon, and that hull design and materials 
technology can barely provide sufficient structural support.

The basic lack of power on ships equipped with these weapons means that the 
weapon must take quite a bit of time storing energy in capacitors attached to 
the weapon's energy system.  This limitation reduces the firing rate of the 
Assault Phaser to a fraction of that of a base mounted weapon.  An additional 
effect is that the ship suffers a brief general power brown out after firing the 
weapon.

Vessels equipped with Assault Phasers suffer from structural and system stresses 
when firing the weapon.  Each firing of the weapon could lead to a catastrophic 
systems failure.


-------------------
4.2 CLOAKING DEVICE
-------------------
The Romulans gave the Cloaking Device to the Klingon Empire in the initial 
technology exchange when their alliance was first formed.  Since then, it has 
proven to be an effective weapon, becoming standard equipment on all new ships, 
and all old ships have been refitted with them.

The Cloaking Device masks the vast majority of electromagnetic emissions of a 
starship using one.  This includes the visible light spectrum as well as a host 
of other subatomic and subspace emissions.  It grants a much greater chance of 
gaining surprise and the ever-important first strike in combat, by allowing the 
cloaked ship to stealthily approach hapless and unwary enemies.  However, it is 
by no means foolproof.  As fast as improvements can be made to cloaking 
technology, the non-cloak using governments develop ever more powerful sensors.  
This upward spiraling arms race dynamic keeps the cloak from achieving status as 
a true invisibility shield, but the benefits granted, even by an imperfect 
cloak, are well worth further development of the system.
A Cloaking Device , when activated, renders the ship virtually invisible to 
visual scanning.  Only a slight visible distortion betrays the presence of a 
cloaked vessel.  For visual scanning, a cloaked ship almost invariably escapes 
detection by all but the most observant enemies.  While the cloak is nearly 
perfect against visual scanning, sensor technology has progressed to sufficient 
levels to allow for the intermittent detection of a cloaked vessel.   This 
intermittent sensor anomaly increases in frequency and duration for the 
searching ship based on range and power to the sensors, making the preferred 
tactic of the cloaked vessel to choose the attack run path from longer ranges, 
close range as fast as possible, decloak, and fire.
Despite the fact that the cloak is a highly effective weapon, it does have 
drawbacks.  While the cloak is activated, weapons fire is impossible.  The 
Cloaking Device must be disengaged in order to fire the ship's weapons.  
Weapons may maintain charging status, so they may be fired as soon as the cloak 
is disengaged, but firing while cloaked is not possible.  Also, the tractor beam 
may not be engaged while cloaked and any existing tractor beams emitting from 
the ship will disengage.  This does not break tractor links established on the 
cloaking vessel by an enemy ship.  Finally, the cloaking field interferes with 
transporter function to such an extent that transport is impossible while the 
cloaking device is engaged.


-------------------
4.3 DISRUPTOR BANKS
-------------------
Range: 15,000k
This is the standard primary weapon of the Klingon and Romulan Empires.  The 
disruptor mechanism creates a hyper-energetic particle stream that cannot be 
contained for more than a few milliseconds.  The containment field is ejected 
from the disruptor emitter and as the field decays the contained energy is 
released, disrupting whatever matter it contacts.


---------------------------------------------------------
4.4 FREQUENCY-MODULATED MESON PARTICLE ACCELERATOR (FMPA)
---------------------------------------------------------
Nickname: "Meson Gun" or "Shield Breaker"
Range: 15,000k
The Frequency-Modulated Meson Particle Accelerator, as it is called, is a 
closely guarded secret of the Klingon Empire.  Only the Klingon researchers who 
developed it know the principles behind it.  It utilizes a top-secret technology 
to create finely adjustable meson particle streams that are directed at the 
target vessel.  These mesons collect around the outer portion of the target 
starship's shields, and due to the frequency modulation, the mesons pool in the 
weakest areas of the shield.  Eventually, the shields build up a tremendous 
amount of meson energy along their entire surface.  This energy is then 
subjected to a quick pulse of Eichner radiation that causes it to detonate, 
damaging all of the target ship's shields with the most damage being applied to 
the weakest shield segment.


-----------------------
4.5 GORN PLASMA TORPEDO
-----------------------
Nickname: "Gorn Plasma"
Range: 12,500k
The Gorn have developed a plasma torpedo independently of the Romulans.  While 
it is based off of very different scientific principles than the Romulan 
version, the results are virtually identical.  The Gorn torpedo homes in on its 
target in the same fashion as the Romulan version, but its warhead strength is 
never greater than its equivalent Romulan light plasma torpedo counterpart.


------------------------------------------------
4.6 GRAVIMETRIC HARMONIC RESONANCE CANNON (GHRC)
------------------------------------------------
Nickname: "Resonator Cannon"
Range: 7,000k
The Gravimetric Harmonic Resonance Cannon or Resonator Cannon is an offensive 
weapon derivative of the tractor beam developed by the Gorn.  The cannon's beam 
strikes the target ship and begins to push and pull the hull in a rapid 
modulation.  This vibration eventually reaches the harmonic frequency of the 
hull and causes structural fatigue and damage.  Resonator Cannons do quite a bit 
of physical damage to the target ship's hull, but also dramatically increase the 
target's system stress level giving the weapon a chance to cause the target to 
tumble out of control.

One other strange side effect of the design of this weapon is its ability to 
negate any tractor beam holding the firing ship.  All tractor beams holding the 
firing vessel are immediately broken, but the firing vessel must allow the 
weapon to fully recharge before firing again.


-------------------------------------------------------
4.7 GRAVITON DENSITY DISTORTION SPHERE (GDDS) GENERATOR
-------------------------------------------------------
Nickname: "GDDS" or "Grav Sphere"
Range: N/A
The Graviton Density Distortion Sphere Generator was developed by the Gorn Star 
Kingdom during its many wars with the Romulan Star Empire, and is used as an 
effective means of attacking slow moving vessels.  During the war that saw the 
first use of the GDDS by the Gorn, Romulan troops captured a ship equipped with 
one of these devices for study.  The Romulans towed said vessel to a research 
facility far from the Gorn border in what was then one of the farthest frontiers 
of their empire. Unknown to the Romulans, this frontier was to soon become fixed 
as their border with the Sha'kurian people.  Not long after research began on 
the enigmatic Gorn device, the Romulans made a regrettable first contact with 
the Sha'kurians.  Romulan expansionist dogma clashed violently with Sha'kurian 
territoriality causing a second front to open for the Romulans.  During the 
fighting, a Sha'kurian raiding force captured the research station and the GDDS 
as well.  The Sha'kurians proved to be highly adept at adapting the Gorn device 
to their own purposes and have been fielding them ever since.

Though the two races, the Gorn and Sha'kurians, have nearly identical GDDS 
technology, they have developed radically different tactics for their use.  The 
Gorn normally mount these devices on the larger vessels in the Gorn Royal Navy 
because their ramming capability suits the tremendous mass and great speed of 
large Gorn starships.  The Sha'kurians, however, utilize the defensive 
capabilities of the GDDS to a far greater extent than the Gorn and thus greatly 
increase the survivability of their carrier forces.
The GDDS disperses a spherical field of gravitons in rapidly varying density 
around the vessel using it.  This field remains active until the stored energy 
within the field is expended. This field prevents the generating ship from 
suffering the effects of collisions, thereby allowing the generating vessel to 
act as a ram. The GDDS field impacts ships, asteroids, projectiles, and other 
physical objects as a normal collision with the field absorbing any impact force 
that would normally have been done to the generating vessel. However, impact 
absorption weakens the field, reducing its overall strength. Once the field's 
integrity is fully compromised, the field is deactivated and any extra collision 
damage is directed to the hull of the GDDS using ship.  Once the GDDS 
deactivates, the field cannot be activated again until the gravimetric 
capacitors completely recharged.

The GDDS is not an invulnerability shield, however.  Phasers and normal 
disruptors pass through the GDDS field unaffected.  In addition, two weapons 
have a tremendous negative reaction to the graviton field generated by the 
GDDS.


-----------------------------------------------
4.8 PHASE-INDUCED BIPOLAR COMPRESSION DISRUPTOR
-----------------------------------------------
Nickname: "Heavy Disruptor"
Range: 12,500k
This is essentially a grossly overpowered medium range version of the standard 
disruptor weapon of the Klingon Empire.  The Tholian Incursion Reaction Forces 
also use this weapons system, although it is not known whether they researched 
themselves or stole it from the Empire. By using a bipolar energy field, the 
disruptor energy is collected and compressed into a large energy packet.  The 
packet is subjected to a quantum energy bombardment that causes the packet to 
slightly shift its phase.  By purposely leaving a portion of the bipolar energy 
field weaker, the phase shift will cause the energy packet to exit the 
compression unit in a controllable direction.

The energy packet is a small torpedo-like projectile that is less powerful than 
a standard photon torpedo, but can be fired more rapidly and does not require 
any sort of expensive casings, as do the photon torpedoes.

These weapons are usually employed as a prelude to an actual torpedo strike, 
weakening the target's shields as well as causing some internal damage for the 
heavier pounding of the antimatter torpedoes.


----------------
4.9 PHASER BANKS
----------------
Range: 15,000k
A common primary weapon throughout the Alpha and Beta Quadrants is the phaser.  
The phaser is a beam of cohesive energy, similar to a Laser but rapidly pulsing.  
This pulsing is so rapid as to be invisible to the eye.  While the behavior of 
the phaser is identical from race to race that uses them, the technology driving 
them is radically different producing a different look for each group.


---------------------
4.10 PHOTON TORPEDOES
---------------------
Range: 10,000k
The photon torpedo is the mainstay secondary weapon of the Federation and the 
Klingon Empire.  These torpedoes are high velocity projectiles, with a 
matter/anti-matter warhead as its payload.  The onboard deuterium and anti-
deuterium are kept separate until the detonator systems activate, due to impact 
or reaching their pre-programmed maximum range.  At the moment of detonation, 
magnetic fields direct much of the force of the explosion in a similar fashion 
to shaped charges of conventional chemical explosives in order to inflict as 
much damage to their targets as possible.


-----------------------------------------
4.11 TRILITHIUM DEPLETED PHOTON TORPEDOES
-----------------------------------------
Nickname: "Heavy Photon"
Range: 10,000k
In their never-ending quest for more destructive weapons Klingon researchers 
developed a method of boosting the destructive output of photon torpedoes.  The 
process, known as trilithium depletion, increases the damage capability of 
photon torpedoes by 100%.  Trilithium depletion does have drawbacks, however.  
The depletion process during the manufacture of the weapon is time consuming and 
very expensive, not to mention dangerous.  Many munitions factories have 
suffered premature detonations of these devices during the manufacturing process 
and were severely damaged.  Nevertheless, because of the intense cold war with 
the Federation, the Klingon Empire uses these torpedoes on several classes of 
Klingon warships.  Ships equipped with these torpedoes must be outfitted with 
special munitions storage modules and the torpedo itself is built only to fire 
from a specific type of reinforced photon launcher.  This eliminates the risk of 
foolish captains attempting to use the heavy torpedo munitions in a standard 
torpedo launcher.


-----------------------------------------------------
4.12 ROMULAN HEAVY, MEDIUM AND LIGHT PLASMA TORPEDOES
-----------------------------------------------------
Range: 12,500k
After a long period of isolationism, the Romulan Star Empire debuted a new and 
devastating weapon, the plasma torpedo, in a test of Federation resolve.  The 
weapon performed beautifully under combat conditions, though the participants of 
the mission did not return.  Though the plasma torpedo was highly effective, its 
power requirements were enormous.  It soon became apparent that lower powered 
versions of the torpedo were in order, thus the medium and light variant were 
born.  These medium and light torpedo launchers are used to better balance a 
ship's performance versus its firepower, and to increase combat longevity.

=================
6.0 SPACE TERRAIN
=================

---------
6.1 STARS
---------
A stellar corona has a high amount of radiation and heat.  Merely being within a 
corona will begin to damage your starship's shields and hull due to the intense 
heat.  Movement within the corona only exacerbates the situation.  The radiation 
is blocked by the shield systems of your vessel, but if a shield fails the 
radiation pours in and begins to poison and kill off your crew.  These radiation 
casualties only increase as more shields fail.  Within the stellar corona 
several of your ship's systems are affected.  Another side effect is that beam 
weapons such as phasers or disruptors receive a large boost in damage power due 
to the interaction of the weapon fire with the corona's high-energy plasma.  
However, secondary and heavy weapons tend to loose significant amounts of 
warhead strength.  Advanced weapons such as the QCB, GHRC, GDDS and the Tholian 
Web suffer from problems in maintaining the necessary containment fields and are 
thus nearly ineffective.

Tactical Notes:  Try to strike a balance between maintaining a high combat 
stance and running increased levels of medical power, damage control and shield 
reinforcement.


-----------
6.2 PLANETS
-----------
Class L and M worlds tend to have fairly thick atmospheres, the upper reaches of 
which may be used tactically in combat.  While in a planetary atmosphere, high 
velocity movement can cause friction damage to your shields and hull, but this 
can be a small price to pay for the benefit of the natural ECM that the terrain 
provides ships within it.  This natural ECM can spell the difference in a 
confrontation.  While in a planetary atmosphere, warp drives cannot be engaged 
else the immense speed would rip the hull of your ship apart.  The planetary 
atmosphere affects some weapons and systems.  Some, such as the Tholian Web and 
the GDDS cannot function within an atmosphere, while others, like the Tractor 
Beam, require more power to remain at their effectiveness levels in deep space.  
Ships with the AMFP are advised not to fire them within the atmosphere as some 
of the ejected antimatter detonates close to the firing vessel, causing damage 
to the firing ship as well as the target.

Tactical Notes: Keep aware of where you are at all times.  The planetary 
atmosphere's useable area is quite thin in comparison to other terrains.  Too 
high and you loose the benefits; too low and you die.  To this end, maintaining 
the power to travel at half-impulse while keeping your velocity at half to one-
quarter impulse speeds will assist you in remaining within the useful region.


--------------
6.3 GAS GIANTS
--------------
Gas Giants are large planets made up of various high-density gasses compressed 
by the planet's gravity.  Within the Gas Giant, the gasses flow in currents and 
eddies which create massive turbulence for ships traveling within them and the 
thickness of the gas greatly obscures vision.  This high gas density creates the 
largest amount of friction against starship hulls of any of the known space 
terrains, making high velocity movement within them immensely dangerous at best.  
The compression of the atmospheric gasses creates bizarre ionization patterns 
and electromagnetic anomalies as well as the hazards to movement.  This property 
of the Gas Giant creates heavy interference with a ship's sensors, making all 
ships within even more difficult to detect than even a cloaked vessel.  These 
ionic and electromagnetic anomalies also interfere with the establishment of a 
proper warp field, thus rendering warp travel impossible until leaving the Gas 
Giant's effects.  Systems such as the Tractor Beam and the Tholian Web have 
greatly reduced effect as well, again due to the variable energy flux within the 
gas.  In combat, the thick gas dissipates the necessary cohesion of a ship's 
beam weapons systems, greatly reducing their effectiveness in combat.  However, 
the density of the atmosphere improves the damage output of secondary and heavy 
weapons by adding additional pressure and stress to the hull ruptures caused by 
their impact.  This great benefit does come at a price, however.  Each firing of 
a secondary or heavy weapon within a Gas Giant causes some feedback damage to 
the firing ship, making accuracy count all the more.

Tactical Notes:  The targeting systems aboard your starship have great 
difficulty in compensating for the turbulence in the terrain when projecting a 
firing solution.  Because of this, it would be wise to avoid targeting an 
enemy's subsystems, as the turbulence will cause you to miss more often than is 
tactically advisable.


-------------------
6.4 PLANETARY RINGS
-------------------
Planetary rings are mostly composed of very fine micro-particles in slow orbit 
around their host planet with quite a few large asteroids orbiting at great 
velocities.  These large asteroids are a very dangerous navigational hazard, 
requiring starship captains to be thoroughly aware of their surroundings to 
avoid painful if not fatal collisions.  The micro-particles on the other hand, 
though they are small enough not to pose a danger to your ship's hull, they do 
have other, more interesting, effects.  The particles act to disperse shield 
energies, making it extraordinarily difficult to keep them raised.  Similarly, 
the particles dissipate other types of cohesive energy as well.  Sensor signals 
become refracted and garbled creating moderate natural ECM effect for all ships 
within the ring.  Tractor Beams and Transporters also suffer from reduced 
effectiveness due to signal dissipation, thus requiring additional power to 
maintain nominal efficiency levels.   In combat, all weapons systems are of 
reduced effectiveness within the ring, although this is mitigated somewhat by 
the shield instability.

Tactical Notes:  Maintain good speed and be very aware of your surroundings 
within the ring.  If you know where all the large rocks within the area are, you 
may be able to use them to your advantage while avoiding them yourself.
