GAME QUESTIONS ANSWERS

1. Should I kill my enemies?
When firing a phaser at a person, never use the kill setting - it will lower your score dramatically. Stun all living creatures. Save the kill setting for inanimate objects such as rocks and doors.
2. I have 2 different tricorders. How do I know which one to use?
Use the medical tricorder on all things organic, and use the science tricorder on EVERYTHING.
3. What's the deal with commendation points?
The more commendation points you rack up, the more praise you get from Starfleet at the end of the game. They'll look down on you if you have anything less than about 23 points, and they'll probably relieve you of command for having anything less than 17 or 18.
4. I'm given choices of things to say. How should I talk?
Typically, talking rudely or arrogantly to people is a good way to get your score lowered. Think of what the "real" Kirk would say; try to handle all situations as diplomatically as possible. If you can't find a nice thing to say (and you can't not say anything at all), pick what sounds the nicest.
5. Can I shoot the equipment?
NEVER use phasers on machinery! EVER!!!!
6. How do I escape from the jail cell?
It is possible to convince the guard to let you out. Remind him of his father. If all else fails, find the weak part of the wall. Use Spock on that part of the wall.
7. Can I play the game in multiplayer? No. Unfortunately, the game does not support multiplayer.
8. I'm terrible at chess. How do I beat the chess program?
After using Spock on the chess board, the best course of action is to not take the completely aggressive or defensive moves. You will always be giving a choice of three moves, one of the moves is too aggressive, and the other is too defensive. Pick the remaining move.
