Dragon Startrek

Dragon Startrek is a 1-player strategy game for the Dragon 32/64.

The player controls the USS Enterprise, tasked with destroying all the Klingon vessels lurking in a 10 x 10 sector map. The vessel is controlled by rotating and applying thrust. The ship is armed with phasers that are used to destroy enemy ships. Taking damage from Klingon vessels and firing phasers depletes energy. The player manages shield control and photon torpedoes. Maintaining shields costs energy, but the ship will be quickly destroyed by hostile vessels if inactive.

The warp drive is utilized to move between sectors, while galactic search allows scanning of nearby sectors. Status reports allows evaluation of ship damage. When ship sections become damaged they are inoperable until sufficient time has passed to enact repairs.

Sectors can contain starbases which allow the player to replenish energy, stars which are unnavigable, black holes which instantly move the ship to another sector, and planets which can be landed on for mining. Radio pulsars make sectors unscannable from a distance, while sectors with a nova constantly deplete shields. Meteors pose dangers to navigation, but these can be destroyed by photon torpedoes.
