A planetary Quasar Cannon has two firing levels, both
expressed in the percentage of stored Fuel Ore to use to
power the Quasar Blast. The first, Sector reaction level,
determines how hard a trader will be hit for just entering
the sector. Usually this is kept fairly low, and inflicts
one battle point per three units of Ore expended. The
second, Atmosphere reaction level, specifies how much of the
remaining ore is to go into firing on one who tries to
actually LAND on the planet. This shot is much more
effective, doing one battle point per unit of ore expended.
There is an oddity in that the sector firing uses all the
fuel ore you expect it to, but the atmosphere shot only takes
HALF the expected amount...
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
