Warp Factor X

Warp Factor X is a 1-player strategy game for the TRS-80 CoCo.

The player attempts to defeat the Klingon empire by defending and recruiting planets and space stations, as well as destroying the Klingon vessels. Played via menu structures, the player controls a spaceship armed with phasers and photon torpedoes. The ship has short and long-ranged sensors for detecting vessels, starbases and planets. The player must optimize shield deployment and enact repairs to the systems of the vessel. Ships can also be repaired at friendly space docks and planets. The player must locate and build alliances with neutral planets, and must conquer Klingon starbases and planets, to convert them to the Federation. The player uses their impulse engines to travel within sectors, and their warp engines to travel greater distances.

To beat a scenario, the player must explore 2 quadrants consisting of 9 sectors, and must destroy all Klingon starbases, all planets must be allied with the Federation, and all Klingon vessels must be destroyed. The player statistics are saved across multiple games, and starts with the rank of Cadet. The goal is to become the Captain of the U. S. S. Enterprise.
