+\*fINTRODUCTION\fR
+.pp
+Well, the federation is once again at war with the Klingon empire.
+It is up to you,
+as captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise,
+to wipe out the invasion fleet and save the Federation.
+.pp
+For the purposes of the game
+the galaxy is divided into 64 quadrants
+on an eight by eight grid,
+with quadrant 0,0 in the upper left hand corner.
+Each quadrant is divided into 100 sectors
+on a ten by ten grid.
+Each sector contains one object
+(e.g., the Enterprise, a Klingon, or a star).
+.pp
+Navigation is handled in degrees,
+with zero being straight up
+and ninety being to the right.
+Distances are measured in quadrants.
+One tenth quadrant is one sector.
+.pp
+The galaxy contains starbases,
+at which you can dock to refuel,
+repair damages, etc.
+The galaxy also contains stars.
+Stars usually have a knack for getting in your way,
+but they can be triggered into going nova
+by shooting a photon torpedo at one,
+thereby (hopefully) destroying any adjacent Klingons.
+This is not a good practice however,
+because you are penalized for destroying stars.
+Also, a star will sometimes go supernova,
+which obliterates an entire quadrant.
+You must never stop in a supernova quadrant,
+although you may "jump over" one.
+.pp
+Some starsystems
+have inhabited planets.
+Klingons can attack inhabited planets
+and enslave the populace,
+which they then put to work building more Klingon battle cruisers.
+\".bp
+.ce
+\*fSTARTING UP THE GAME\fR
+.pp
+To request the game, issue the command
+.sp
+.ti +15
+.ft B
+/usr/games/trek
+.ft
+.sp
+from the shell.
+If a filename is supplied,
+a log of the game is written onto that file.
+(Otherwise, no
+file is written.)
+If the
+``\fB\-a\fP'' flag is stated before the filename,
+the log of the game is appended to the file.
+.pp
+The game will ask you what length game
+you would like.
+Valid responses are "short", "medium", and "long".
+You may also type "restart",
+which restarts a previously saved game.
+Ideally,
+the length of the game does not affect the difficulty,
+but currently the shorter games tend to be harder than the longer ones.
+.pp
+You will then be prompted for the skill,
+to which you must respond
+"novice", "fair", "good", "expert",
+"commodore", or "impossible".
+You should start out with a novice
+and work up,
+but if you really want to see
+how fast you can be slaughtered,
+start out with an impossible game.
+.pp
+In general,
+throughout the game,
+if you forget what is appropriate
+the game will tell you what it expects
+if you just type in
+a question mark.
+\".bp
+.ce
+\*fISSUING COMMANDS\fR
+.pp
+If the game expects you to enter a command,
+.hc ^
+it will say ^"Command:\ "
+and wait for your response.
+Most commands can be abbreviated.
+.pp
+At almost any time you can type more than one thing on a line.
+For example,
+to move straight up one quadrant,
+you can type
+.ti +12
+move 0 1
+.br
+or you could just type
+.ti +12
+move
+.br
+and the game would prompt you with
+.ti +12
+Course:
+.br
+to which you could type
+.ti +12
+0 1
+.br
+The "1" is the distance,
+which could be put on still another line.
+Also, the "move" command
+could have been abbreviated
+"mov", "mo", or just "m".
+.pp
+If you are partway through a command
+and you change your mind,
+you can usually type "-1"
+to cancel the command.
+.pp
+Klingons generally cannot hit you
+if you don't consume anything
+(e.g., time or energy),
+so some commands are considered "free".
+As soon as you consume anything though -- POW!

+.bl "Status Report"
+Mnemonic: status

+This command gives you information
+about the current status

+YELLOW -- low on energy
+GREEN -- normal state
+DOCKED -- docked at starbase
+CLOAKED -- the cloaking device is activated

+Position -- Your current quadrant and sector.
+.qq
+Warp Factor -- The speed you will move at
+when you move under warp power
+(with the
+.ul

+command).
+.qq
+Total Energy -- Your energy reserves.
+If they drop to zero,
+you die.
+Energy regenerates,
+but the higher the skill of the game,
+the slower it regenerates.
+.qq
+Torpedoes -- How many photon torpedoes you have left.
+.qq
+Shields -- Whether your shields are up or down,
+and how effective they are if up
+(what percentage of a hit they will absorb).
+.qq
+Klingons Left -- Guess.
+.qq
+Time Left -- How long the Federation can hold out
+if you sit on your fat ass and do nothing.
+If you kill Klingons quickly,
+this number goes up,
+otherwise,
+it goes down.
+If it hits zero,
+the Federation is conquered.
+.qq
+Life Support -- If "active", everything is fine.
+If "damaged", your reserves tell you
+how long you have
+to repair your life support
+or get to a starbase
+before you starve, suffocate,
+or something equally unpleasant.
+.qq
+Current Crew -- The number of crew members
+left.
+This figures does not include officers.
+.qq
+Brig Space -- The space left in your brig
+for Klingon captives.
+.qq
+Klingon Power -- The number of units
+needed to kill a Klingon.
+Remember, as Klingons fire at you
+they use up their own energy,
+so you probably need somewhat less
+than this.

+The units digit tells the number of stars,
+the tens digit the number of starbases,
+and the hundreds digit is the number of Klingons.
+"*" indicates the negative energy barrier
+at the edge of the galaxy,

+"///" means that that is a supernova quadrant
+and must not be entered.
+.bl "Damage Report"
+Mnemonic: damages
+Shortest Abbreviation: da
+Consumes: nothing
+.FF
+.pp
+A damage report tells you what devices are damaged
+and how long it will take to repair them.
+Repairs proceed faster
+when you are docked
+at a starbase.
+.bl "Set Warp Factor"
+Mnemonic: warp
+Shortest Abbreviation: w
+Full Command: warp factor
+Consumes: nothing
+.FF
+.pp
+The warp factor tells the speed of your starship
+when you move under warp power
+(with the
+.ul
+move
+command).
+The higher the warp factor,
+the faster you go,
+and the more energy you use.
+.pp
+The minimum warp factor is 1.0
+and the maximum is 10.0.
+At speeds above warp 6
+there is danger of the warp engines
+being damaged.
+The probability of this
+increases at higher warp speeds.
+Above warp 9.0 there is a chance of entering
+a time warp.
+.bl "Move Under Warp Power"
+Mnemonic: move
+Shortest Abbreviation: m
+Full Command: move course distance
+Consumes: time and energy
+.FF
+.pp
+This is the usual way of moving.
+The course is in degrees and the distance is in quadrants.
+To move one sector specify a distance of 0.1.
+.pp
+Time is consumed proportionately to
+the inverse of the warp factor squared,
+and directly to the distance.
+Energy is consumed as the warp factor cubed,
+and directly to the distance.
+If you move with your shields up
+it doubles the amount of energy consumed.
+.pp
+When you move in a quadrant containing Klingons,
+they get a chance to attack you.
+.pp
+The computer detects navigation errors.
+If the computer is out,
+you run the risk of running into things.
+.pp
+The course is determined by the
+Space Inertial Navigation System
+[SINS].
+As described in
+Star Fleet Technical Order TO:02:06:12,
+the SINS is calibrated,
+after which it becomes the base for navigation.
+If damaged,
+navigation becomes inaccurate.
+When it is fixed,
+Spock recalibrates it,
+however,
+it cannot be calibrated extremely accurately
+until you dock at starbase.
+.bl "Move Under Impulse Power"
+Mnemonic: impulse
+Shortest Abbreviation: i
+Full Command: impulse course distance
+Consumes: time and energy
+.FF
+.pp
+The impulse engines give you a chance to maneuver
+when your warp engines are damaged;
+however, they are incredibly slow
+(0.095 quadrants/stardate).
+They require 20 units of energy to engage,
+and ten units per sector to move.
+.pp
+The same comments about the computer and the SINS
+apply as above.
+.pp
+There is no penalty to move under impulse power
+with shields up.
+.bl "Deflector Shields"
+Mnemonic: shields
+Shortest Abbreviation: sh
+Full Command: shields up/down
+Consumes: energy
+.FF
+.pp
+Shields protect you from Klingon attack
+and nearby novas.
+As they protect you,
+they weaken.
+A shield which is 78% effective
+will absorb 78% of a hit
+and let 22% in to hurt you.
+.pp
+The Klingons have a chance to attack you
+every time you raise or lower shields.
+Shields do not rise and lower
+instantaneously,
+so the hit you receive
+will be computed with the shields
+at an intermediate effectiveness.
+.pp
+It takes energy to raise shields,
+but not to drop them.
+.bl "Cloaking Device"
+Mnemonic: cloak
+Shortest Abbreviation: cl
+Full Command: cloak up/down
+Consumes: energy
+.FF
+.pp
+When you are cloaked,
+Klingons cannot see you,
+and hence they do not fire at you.
+They are useful for entering
+a quadrant
+and selecting a good position,
+however,
+weapons cannot be fired through
+the cloak
+due to the huge energy drain
+that it requires.
+.pp
+The cloak up command
+only starts the cloaking process;
+Klingons will continue
+to fire at you
+until you do something
+which consumes time.
+.bl "Fire Phasers"
+Mnemonic: phasers
+Shortest Abbreviation: p
+Full Commands: phasers automatic amount
+ phasers manual amt1 course1 spread1 ...
+Consumes: energy
+.FF
+.pp
+Phasers are energy weapons;
+the energy comes from your ship's reserves
+("total energy" on a srscan).
+It takes about 250 units of hits
+to kill a Klingon.
+Hits are cumulative as long as you stay
+in the quadrant.
+.pp
+Phasers become less effective
+the further from a Klingon you are.
+Adjacent Klingons receive about
+90% of what you fire,
+at five sectors about 60%,
+and at ten sectors about 35%.
+They have no effect outside of the quadrant.
+.pp
+Phasers cannot be fired while shields are up;
+to do so would fry you.
+They have no effect on starbases or stars.
+.pp
+In automatic mode
+the computer decides how to divide up the energy
+among the Klingons present;
+in manual mode you do that yourself.
+.pp
+In manual mode firing
+you specify a direction,
+amount (number of units to fire)
+and spread (0 -> 1.0)
+for each of the six phaser banks.
+A zero amount
+terminates the manual input.
+.bl "Fire Photon Torpedoes"
+Mnemonic: torpedo
+Shortest Abbreviation: t
+Full Command: torpedo course [yes/no] [burst angle]
+Consumes: torpedoes
+.FF
+.pp
+Torpedoes are projectile weapons -- there are no partial hits.
+You either hit your target or you don't.
+A hit on a Klingon destroys him.
+A hit on a starbase destroys that starbase
+(woops!).
+Hitting a star usually causes it to go nova,
+and occasionally supernova.
+.pp
+Photon torpedoes cannot be aimed precisely.
+They can be fired with shields up,
+but they get even more random
+as they pass through the shields.
+.pp
+Torpedoes may be fired in bursts of three.
+If this is desired,
+the burst angle is the angle
+between the three shots,
+which may vary from one to fifteen.
+The word "no"
+says that a burst is not wanted;
+the word "yes"
+(which may be omitted
+if stated on the same line as the course)
+says that a burst is wanted.
+.pp
+Photon torpedoes
+have no effect
+outside the quadrant.
+.bl "Onboard Computer Request"
+Mnemonic: computer
+Shortest Abbreviation: c
+Full Command: computer request; request;...
+Consumes: nothing
+.FF
+.pp
+The computer command gives you access to the facilities
+of the onboard computer,
+which allows you to do all sorts of fascinating stuff.
+Computer requests are:
+.in +8
+.qq
+score -- Shows your current score.
+.qq
+course quad/sect -- Computes the course and distance from wherever
+you are to the given location.
+If you type "course /x,y"
+you will be given the course
+to sector x,y in the current quadrant.
+.qq
+move quad/sect -- Identical to the course
+request,
+except that the move is executed.
+.qq
+chart -- prints a chart of the known galaxy,
+i.e.,
+everything that you have seen with a long range scan.
+The format is the same as on a long range scan,
+except that "..." means
+that you don't yet know what is there,
+and ".1." means that you know that a starbase
+exists, but you don't know anything else.
+"$$$" mans the quadrant
+that you are currently in.
+.qq
+trajectory -- prints the course and distance
+to all the Klingons in the quadrant.
+.qq
+warpcost dist warp_factor -- computes the cost in time and energy
+to move `dist' quadrants at warp `warp_factor'.
+.qq
+impcost dist -- same as warpcost for impulse engines.
+.qq
+pheff range -- tells how effective your phasers are
+at a given range.
+.qq
+distresslist -- gives a list of currently distressed
+starbases
+and starsystems.
+.in -8
+.pp
+More than one request may be stated
+on a line
+by separating them
+with semicolons.
+.bl "Dock at Starbase"
+Mnemonic: dock
+Shortest Abbreviation: do
+Consumes: nothing
+.FF
+.pp
+You may dock at a starbase
+when you are in one of the eight
+adjacent sectors.
+.pp
+When you dock you are resupplied
+with energy, photon torpedoes, and life support reserves.
+Repairs are also done faster at starbase.
+Any prisoners you have taken
+are unloaded.
+You do not receive points
+for taking prisoners
+until this time.
+.pp
+Starbases have their own deflector shields,
+so you are safe from attack while docked.
+.bl "Undock from Starbase"
+Mnemonic: undock
+Shortest Abbreviation: u
+Consumes: nothing
+.FF
+.pp
+This just allows you to leave starbase
+so that you may proceed on your way.
+.bl "Rest"
+Mnemonic: rest
+Shortest Abbreviation: r
+Full Command: rest time
+Consumes: time
+.FF
+.pp
+This command allows you to rest to repair damages.
+It is not advisable to rest while under attack.
+.bl "Call Starbase For Help"
+Mnemonic: help
+Shortest Abbreviation: help
+Consumes: nothing
+.FF
+.pp
+You may call starbase for help via your subspace radio.
+Starbase has long range transporter beams to get you.
+Problem is,
+they can't always rematerialize you.
+.pp
+You should avoid using this command unless absolutely necessary,
+for the above reason and because it counts heavily against you
+in the scoring.
+.bl "Capture Klingon"
+Mnemonic: capture
+Shortest Abbreviation: ca
+Consumes: time
+.FF
+.pp
+You may request that a Klingon surrender
+to you.
+If he accepts,
+you get to take captives
+(but only as many as your brig
+can hold).
+It is good if you do this,
+because you get points for captives.
+Also,
+if you ever get captured,
+you want to be sure that the Federation
+has prisoners to exchange for you.
+.pp
+You must go to a starbase
+to turn over your prisoners
+to Federation authorities.
+.bl "Visual Scan"
+Mnemonic: visual
+Shortest Abbreviation: v
+Full Command: visual course
+Consumes: time
+.FF
+.pp
+When your short range scanners are out,
+you can still see what is out "there"
+by doing a visual scan.
+Unfortunately,
+you can only see three sectors at one time,
+and it takes 0.005 stardates to perform.
+.pp
+The three sectors in the general direction
+of the course specified
+are examined
+and displayed.
+.bl "Abandon Ship"
+Mnemonic: abandon
+Shortest Abbreviation: abandon
+Consumes: nothing
+.FF
+.pp
+The officers escape the Enterprise in the shuttlecraft.
+If the transporter is working
+and there is an inhabitable starsystem
+in the area,
+the crew beams down,
+otherwise you leave them to die.
+You are given an old but still usable ship,
+the Faire Queene.
+.bl "Ram"
+Mnemonic: ram
+Shortest Abbreviation: ram
+Full Command: ram course distance
+Consumes: time and energy
+.FF
+.pp
+This command is identical to "move",
+except that the computer
+doesn't stop you
+from making navigation errors.
+.pp
+You get very nearly slaughtered
+if you ram anything.
+.bl "Self Destruct"
+Mnemonic: destruct
+Shortest Abbreviation: destruct
+Consumes: everything
+.FF
+.pp
+Your starship is self-destructed.
+Chances are you will destroy
+any Klingons
+(and stars,
+and starbases)
+left in your quadrant.
+.bl "Terminate the Game"
+Mnemonic: terminate
+Shortest Abbreviation: terminate
+Full Command: terminate yes/no
+.FF
+.pp
+Cancels the current game.
+No score is computed.
+If you answer yes,
+a new game will be started,
+otherwise trek exits.
+.bl "Call the Shell"
+Mnemonic: shell
+Shortest Abbreviation: shell
+.FF
+.pp
+Temporarily escapes to the shell.
+When you exit the shell
+you will return to the game.

+\*fSCORING\fR
+.in +4
+.pp
+The scoring algorithm is rather complicated.
+Basically,
+you get points for each Klingon you kill,
+for your Klingon per stardate kill rate,
+and a bonus if you win the game.
+You lose
+points for the number of Klingons left
+in the galaxy
+at the end of the game,
+for getting killed,
+for each star, starbase, or inhabited starsystem
+you destroy,
+for calling for help,
+and for each casualty you incur.
+.pp
+You will be promoted
+if you play very well.
+You will never get a promotion if you
+call for help,
+abandon the Enterprise,
+get killed,
+destroy a starbase or inhabited starsystem,
+or destroy too many stars.
