Super Star Trek

Grand Scale Edition — LCARS Interface | Tutorial & Command Reference

1. Starting a Mission

The mission selection screen appears when the game loads. Choose by difficulty:

Mission	Difficulty	Objective	Time
Patrol Sweep	Recruit	Clear 20×20 region	80 stardates
Colony Rescue	Ensign	Reach [50,50], clear, dock	50 stardates
Freighter Escort	Ensign	Protect 5 freighters to [75,75]	70 stardates
Borg Hunt	Lieutenant	Destroy all Borg cubes	60 stardates
Starbase Siege	Lieutenant	Relieve 3 besieged starbases	55 stardates
Total Annihilation	Admiral	Eliminate every hostile	90 stardates

Start with Patrol Sweep — no Borg or Dominion, generous time, plenty of starbases.

2. LCARS Interface

The screen uses the LCARS (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System) interface from Starfleet vessels.

Header bar — live readings: Stardate, energy, shields, torpedoes, enemy counts, score, position
Left sidebar — BLUE sensors · RED combat · GOLD navigation/ship · ORANGE general
LRS grid — 10×10 surrounding quadrants; click to warp
Sector grid — 10×10 current sector; click empty squares to move
Status/damage — right panel shows all ship systems
Ship's Log — crew communications and combat results (Spock=blue, Scotty=gold, Uhura=pink, Sulu=cyan)

3. Navigation

Warp between quadrants

Set the Warp slider (1–9) in the orange nav bar at the top.
Click any quadrant in the LRS grid or open 🌌 Galaxy for the fullscreen map.
After arrival, SRS and LRS run automatically.

Impulse move within a sector

Click any empty square in the sector grid. Costs a small amount of energy.

Quick navigation

→ Nearest Base — warps directly to the nearest starbase
→ Enemy — warps to the nearest hostile quadrant

4. Combat

Phasers

Click Phasers. A slider appears — set energy and click FIRE. Energy is divided among all visible enemies. Power falls off with distance.

Borg adaptation: Each phaser hit on the same Borg cube is 25% less effective than the last. Switch to torpedoes after 2–3 hits.

Torpedoes

Click Torpedo. Choose mode:

Single Target — click any sector square to fire toward it
Spread All — fires one torpedo at every visible enemy simultaneously (costs one torpedo per target)

Torpedoes ignore distance and Borg adaptation. Always effective. Cloaked Romulans can be hit by torpedoes.

Shields

Click Shields. Drag slider to set energy level. Shields below 50 allow enemy boarding. Scotty auto-raises shields when under attack if the generator is undamaged.

5. Starbases and Docking

Starbases appear as ⬡ in the sector. Move the Enterprise adjacent to one — docking is automatic. Full restoration of energy, torpedoes, crew, all damage, and boarders. Use → Nearest Base to navigate there quickly.

6. Boarding Parties

When shields are below 50 and an enemy is within 2 squares, they may board.

Race	Boarding Effect
Klingon	Hull damage each turn
Romulan	Sabotage 2 ship systems
Borg	Assimilate crew — boarding party grows
Ferengi	Steal energy from ship
Dominion	Seize weapon control for 2 turns

Click Repel Boarders to engage security teams. May need multiple uses. Crew at zero = ship lost.

7. Emergency Systems

Emergency Repair

Click Emerg Repair. Select the damaged system from the picker. Cost: 150 + (damage × 50) energy. Reduces damage by 1–2 turns. Enemies may attack during repair.

Emergency Tug

Click Emerg Tug. The tug is hailed by subspace radio (works from anywhere, even with destroyed warp engines). Arrives in 2–5 stardates and tows you to the nearest starbase. One use per mission.

8. Probes

Click Probe (5) — button pulses cyan. Click any quadrant on LRS or Galaxy Map to launch. Costs 50 energy. Reports enemy counts, starbase, black holes, and freighters without warping. 5 probes per mission.

9. Scoring
