ARENAMATCH

The object of the Arena Match is simple, kill your opponents before they can get you. You gain points by killing opponents and lose points every time you are killed. The game ends when one player has accumulated a certain number of kills (usually 20) or the time limit has expired (usually 30 minutes). The game Host can change these values.

Before you enter the game, you can choose any ship, weapons and system upgrades that you want. Once in the game, it is every pilot for themselves. Keep an eye out for Power-ups that you can pick-up and quickly refresh your ship's systems. You can also repair your ship and replenish your systems if the sector has a Repair Dock to land on (fly level over the repair platform and when you see "Cleared to Land" press ENTER).

HOW TO PLAY BASEWARS

Objective: Be the first team to advance to Technology Level 10, then destroy the enemy starbase.

Basic Steps:
1. Collect crystals and kill enemy fighters to gain credits.
2. Fly through the green spheres at your home starbase to drop off your credits and raise your base's tech level.
3. As your base's tech level increases, you'll want to upgrade your weapons.
4. When your base's Tech Level reaches 10, equip your ship with Helios Rockets to destroy the enemy's life support plant.
5. Every time you drop off crystals or make a kill, your rank goes up. The higher your rank, the better your ship becomes.

DESCRIPTIONS

Crystals: Explore the region by flying through TCG gates to enter
new sectors. In some sectors, you'll find CRYSTALS you can
collect for credits. Collect the crystals by flying into them.
When the display at the top of the screen reads "Credits: 100%"
your hold is full, and it's time to fly back home and drop the
credits off. The crystal's color denotes its value in credits.
 
Tech Level: As you gain experience for your starbase by turning in
credits, the base's Technology Level will increase. This
accomplishes two things: 1) It adds to your starbase's automatic
defenses; and 2) It makes more advanced weapons and systems
available to be mounted on your ship when you dock at your
starbase. Your base gains points towards new technology levels
whenever you drop crystals off at the CREDIT REPOSITORIES.
 
Upgrade Your Weapons: When you dock with your starbase, you
can access a menu that lets you replace your current
weapons and system upgrades with more advanced ones. You
dock by flying close to a LANDING PAD, leveling off, and
hitting the Enter key where you see the "Cleared to Land"
message. When you're satisfied with your changes, hit the Escape
key to exit the menu and leave the landing pad.
 
Life Support Plant: The large dome at the "top" of a starbase is
its LIFE SUPPORT PLANT. The Life Support Plant is only
vulnerable to attack by Helios Rockets, which become available
for mounting on your fighter when your base reaches Technology
Level 10. It takes several direct Helios Rocket hits to destroy
a Life Support Plant, so a coordinated strike involving several
heavy fighters is your best bet. When the enemy's Life Support
Plant is destroyed, the game is won.
 
Rank: As you rise through the ranks by killing bad guys and turning
in credits, your fighter will perform better (faster energy
recharge, higher top speed, etc). Rank also affects the number
of points you receive for killing an enemy fighter; the higher
his rank, the more points you receive.
