Plot
Penetrate 5000 Microns of the enemy's vortex field. Reach the command centre and destroy it. How far can you penetrate?
Enemy defences will try to eliminate you as you penetrate deeper into the field. You must keep an eye on your energy banks at all times. If you energy banks should become depleted then you will lose control of your craft. If however they are at a very low level, then your craft will become unstable and very hard to pilot. To recharge you energy banks you must destroy the enemy fuel depots. You will start the game with 1 ship and a shield at every 10,000ptrs. The game ends when your energy banks are depleted or when you have no shields left. Each time you are hit your shield level will drop by 1. When you shield level reaches zero your craft will be destroyed. Running into the vortex field will destroy your craft and end the game.
