How to play:
As a Star Ranger, your job is to patrol the galactic frontier and
protect the colonies from raiders and the forces of the evil dracon
empire.
As you patrol each sector you, will face many dangerous enemies.
each wave will have its own unique attack strategy geared to confuse
you and destroy your ship. You need to adapt to their fighting
method quickly or they will kill you.
NOTE: you have a limited fuel supply that has to last you until
you reach your mother ship and you will have to destroy five
waves of enemies to get there. Once you reach your mother ship,
you will receive bonus points for any fuel you have left.
BEWARE: Your lasers heat up each time you fire them, and need to
cool off to avoid overheating. If you fire too many shots too
quickly, your lasers will overheat and you won't be able to fire for
20 seconds while they cool down.
