EGA Trek (WARNING: This will make the game extremely easy)
Speaking of points for rescues, if your ship is destroyed then do you lose them all? Or does it still score you for these behind the scenes? It should still score them? I think? Might have to doublecheck that one. It happened to me the other day, looks like it doesn't. :( Furthermore, falling into ...

Re: Computer Damaged; Manual Only
Does anyone know how to use the manual coordinates DeltaX and DeltaY? I've never been able to figure it out. Doesn't seem to correspond to the grids at all. At least not the traditional way you would think of x and y axis'. It's pretty frustrating when your computer gets damaged and you find out a ...

When you move to a new quad, the positions of objects in the quad are re-randomised. I guess the idea is that the warp engines can't be used to navigate with precision, and so the reshuffling is a way of making you need the impulse engines to get the needed precision to position yourself next to a b...

But even after a StarBase has given a distress signal, in some cases even after the date I was told it would last till has passed, it seems I can still rely on its protection. Yes, if you're physically present in the quadrant the Starbase will persist indefinitely, even past when it would otherwise...

Re: EGA Trek (WARNING: This will make the game extremely eas
If your ship is in really bad shape, go Warp 1 to a nearby quadrant, and your ship should be in much better shape, even if they tractor beam you back to where you came from. This trick backfired when I tried it yesterday. Basically, my life support got damaged to 0% en route, and by the time I arri...

...did Nels ever make a version... Long shot, but does this mean you might know the author? Any chance he could be politely pestered for source code, or to see if a modern version could be adapted and compiled? It's one of three my favorite games from that era, along with Sopwith and Trek. I wouldn...

I remember that in some earlier versions of EGA Trek, you could spend time repairing while there are Mongols in the quadrant, and they wouldn't attack you. But in later versions it will just ask you what you want to concentrate repairs on and then exit the transaction. Something else I've noticed is...

Death Ray -- four (five?) possible outcomes. 1) If I remember correctly, sometimes you'll fire it and nothing happens... this one I'm unsure about. 2) It explodes, destroying the ship. 3) It misfires, mutating part of your crew and leaving you dealing with goofy status messages and viewscreen displ...

I played this game in my youth, and have recently got back into playing it on DOSBox! Tip 1 - strikes me as cheating. Possibly a bug, but they might have decided to leave it in as an Easter egg. Does it work on all versions of the game? Tip 2 - just happens to be one that I discovered the other day!...
