There are actually several ways, it's just not practical. There
are many ships (klingons and a ccouple tholions) that don't
attack until they're right next to you.

Yes, I meant final conflict when I was talking about the
defiant's cloaking
device, sinse the rules for that game are the same in the way you
move and
attack. there is I believe no way at all to get the first move in
original
Trek 2000 at all!
eware the grue!

Your thinking of the wrong game, the one you discribed with
final
conflict.

Hi tom.
that's fairly awsome, actually I've not played the game in a
while myself
so
probably ought to give it another bash.
My only problem however with the game, and indeed with trek
2000, is that
the enemy always gets the first hit in, sinse the enemy come
into range on
your turn but fire on there's, which means that ninety percent
of the time
it's better to get around one of your starbases and fire away
rather than
use a direct attack in open space, indeed the only ship that can
attack an
enemy first is the Defiant with the cloaking device.
This is another reason I'd like to see a trek game with a single
ship,
sinse
that leaves room for more tactical combat, sinse afterall there
were
situations when starfleet had to fire first, such as when
combating the
borg.
all the best,
Dark.

Hi all,
After I posted the Trek 2000 soundpack I decided to install the
game,
and play it with the soundpack. Even after all these years of
not
playing Trek 2000 I can say I've still got the touch. That is
I'm
still a seriously competent Starfleet commander and all around
good
guy.
I started up the game on the Bring Them On level expecting
myself to
be a bit rusty. I was, but not enough to effect the outcome of
the
war.
I Started out by pulling my fleet together so I could hit the
enemy as
a single attack fleet. Unfortunately, that didn't quite happen
as I
had intended. It so happened that a Tholian starbase was not
more than
10 units from Starbase 2 and three Tholians moved in to position
to
hit Starbase 2. U.S.S. Enterprise and Yorktown showed up in time
to
keep them from destroying the station and we made short work of
the
three Tholian creeps who thought they'd kick off the enemy
offensive
by taking out a Federation Starbase.
Enterprise took up station near Starbase 2 while Yorktown
started
pumping phasers into the Tholian station. As expected two
Tholians
broke off their attack to save the Tholian station which was a
faint
on my part. Their mistake. I dropped a mine and warped out of
range of
their weapons. A move later both Tholian ships and the station
were
turned into space dust.
The third Tholian moved in and attacked Enterprise and hit it
with a
Tholian web. Enterprise crippled the ship with 4500 units of
phaser
energy, and Yorktown finished him off with another 4000 units or
so.
Meanwhile Defiant managed to run head long into the main enemy
battle
fleet. Three Romulans, a Tholian, and four Klingon ships. Let's
just
say Defiant smoked two of the Romulans, but with that kind of
odds
Defiant's days were numbered. The other ships moved in and blew
Defiant to pieces.
Fortunately, Valiant wasn't far away and caught the enemy attack
fleet
unaware and blew away a Klingon ship, damaged a second, and one
of the
Romulan ships took some minor damage from phaser fire. To finish
the
job I dropped a mine and ran back to Starbase 1 for resupplies.
Well, after a move or so the mine went off, destroyed the
Romulan,
toasted two Klingons, and damaged the fourth Klingon, the fourth
Romulan, and Tholian. This not only knocked down their forces
it gave
Valiant time to reach the Starbase and reload up on energy,
photons,
and prepare to meet the battle fleet head on if need be.
Given these odds I dispatched Yorktown to Starbase 1 to back
Valiant
up. Unfortunately, it never made it. For reasons unexplained the
enemy
fleet didn't chase Valiant to Starbase 1 and chose to intercept
Yorktown as she made her way to Starbase 1. They got in some
lucky
shots, and Yorktown died from a well placed ambush. Now, by this
time
I'm boiling with a desire for revenge.
I wait on station for the enemy fleet to arrive. Not surprising
it was
something of a slaughter. I blew away the last romulan and
smoked the
Klingon ship as they came in. I kept my energy levels at maximum
waiting for the final Tholian to fall into my trap. He did.
He trapped Valiant in a web, and knocked her shields down. In
return
both Valiant an Starbase 1 opened fire on the Tholian ship.The
Tholian
ship blew apart in a spectacular explosion and the war was over.
Oh, I may have been rusty, but I'm still master of the game. In
total
it took me 28 moves to grind the enemy fleet down to size and
eliminate all 12 enemy ships and one station. Given a few more
moves I
still had enough firepower to smoke some of the other enemy
starbases
too. The funny thing is most of the enemies were dispatched and
destroyed by the U.S.S. Valiant. One single ship took out four
Romulans, Four Klingons, and a Tholian ship. Without a doubt
that
makes Starfleet the best military fleet in the Alpha Quadrant.
