Ah Tom, i didn't realize the phasers and such had different ranges, but that
does make sense, I'll have to give the game a try and see how it works.
Even so though, i deffinately would like to see more tactical ship to ship
combat, eg, different targiting stratogies to hit the enemy's power source
or weapons, or to take down their shield to beam a team across.
We see in the series that different combat tasks take very different tactics
and power (indeed you'll probably know far more about this than I do), and
I'd really appreciate a mission based startrek game that focused on this.
For instance, finding an enemy in an asteroid field where lots of floating
debris would make torpedos less useful and scanners work only at short
range.
You could either blow the asteroids away and hope to hit the enemy before
they hit you, attempt a long range scan (but with lowered shields), or hunt
carefully with your phasers.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
Actually, there are times you can attack first in Trek 2000, and a lot
of it depends on luck and range. Enemies tend to wait until they are
in close before attacking. If you fire torpedoes into the Klingons
while they are out of disruptor range you can damage, cripple, and
even destroy a few before they get into disruptor range.
The best way to initiate this kind of attack is to scan, find out what
targets you want, and to then change your warp speed so you don't come
into enemy weapons range first. If you plan it right you might be out
of disruptor and phaser range, but in close enough to hit them with
photon torpedoes.
