Wow, so cool. Brings back so many memories. This is a way better version. Torpedo targeting was such a drag in the original. I love the new targeting bar.
I can't remember, were you able to destroy a starbase in the original? (I thought you could in the spirit of screwing yourself, but I don't recall an instant death or other repercussions.)
In this new version, I got into a battle with a Klingon in the same sector as a starbase, and fired off a torpedo ("accidentally") at the starbase to see what happens. It simply says you missed.
Yes you are right. You can actually destroy a starbase with a torpedo in the original game. I didn’t port this ‘feature’, since I could not imagine Kirk & crew destroy a starbase. But I should handle the case you just described in a better way
I was just playing the original AppleTrek on archive a month ago.
Man that interface was not good. I had so much more patience as a bored kid. The key is computer-storing a move and then firing a torp manually (computing the angle I didn't know how to do until trig).
The best was suckering them into firing at themselves.
