PLAYING THE GAME
The VIDEO SEQUENCE appears between missions updating you on the story line as it continues to unfold, (scenarios will vary, contingent upon the course of action you elect to pursue.) At the beginning of your first mission, your WINGMAN, MANIAC, appears on the COMMUNICATION DISPLAY, (bottom left corner of the screen), and issues you a challenge, (training sequence.) To accept the challenge press the L2 BUTTON to highlight AFFIRMATIVE then press the L1 BUTTON. Once battle has begun press the L1 BUTTON to drop the COMMUNICATIONS DISPLAY and raise the SHIELD DISPLAY, (reflects damage to your shields and armor during battle.) You can check your position relative to that of other ships in the sector on the ACTION SPHERE, (press the START BUTTON.) You can zoom in or out on the ACTION SPHERE by pressing the R BUTTONS. Your RADAR SCOPE appears on the bottom center portion of the screen. Colored blips appearing on the RADAR SCOPE designate the following: RED- ENEMY FIGHTER; BLUE- FRIENDLY FIGHTER; ORANGE- ENEMY CAPITAL SHIP; PALE BLUE- FRIENDLY CAPITAL SHIP; YELLOW- MISSILE; WHITE- NEXT NAVIGATION POINT; and PURPLE- EJECTED PILOT. The display on the bottom right corner of the screen shows the CURRENT TARGET ID AND PROFILE, (your computer will automatically target the nearest enemy however you may cycle through available targets by pressing the TRIANGLE BUTTON.) The distance of the current target from your ship appears above the TARGET ID display. A vertical display on the right side of the TARGET ID display shows how much damage has been inflicted on the target during battle. Your GUNSIGHT appears fixed in the center of the screen. The display on the upper right corner of the screen shows the GUNS currently equipped, the number of DECOYS you have remaining (press the O BUTTON to drop DECOYS to draw enemy missiles away from your ship), and the number of MISSILES you have remaining. A GUN POWER METER, (arched meter), appears on the right side of the screen, (when this meter is drained you will lose your guns until the meter has recharged itself.) Your FUEL GAUGE appears on the top of the screen. A SPEED DISPLAY and corresponding SPEED METER, (arched meter), appears on the left side of the screen. When you come under fire by actual PIRATES, press the TRIANGLE and SELECT BUTTONS to instruct MANIAC to BREAK FORMATION AND OPEN FIRE, (he will launch an independent attack upon the pirates.) An INERTIAL TARGETING & TRACKING SYSTEM, (yellow cursor), is used to lock in on enemy targets. When you have a lock on an enemy ship the ITTS turns GREEN, (aim for this cursor.) When you get a MISSILE LOCK on an enemy ship, a BLUE RECTANGLE will surround the target and you will hear a CHIME indicating that you are clear to fire missiles, (missiles will not fire until you have a lock on your target.) When you complete a mission you will need to vector to your next NAVIGATION POINT. Press the SELECT BUTTON to engage your AUTOPILOT and travel between NAVIGATION POINTS. When you ACTIVATE THE MAIN TERMINAL at CONFED HEADQUARTERS you may use the DUTY ROSTER command to SAVE your game or LOAD a previously saved game.
