Level and Weapon Info
Following will be a list of the level numbers from the level select screen. Here is a legend on how to read the following list.
- T: This means there is a hidden time limit within this level. Beat the
level with greater than 40% accuracy and within the time limit to unlock
secrets, such as levels, medals and awards.
- NT: This means there is a hidden timer on the mission, but it doesn't unlock
anything except a bit of Praise by Worf. Not worth the effort.
- S: This is a secret level, unlocked by doing something in another level.
Usually they are unlocked via the previous level (ex. 5 unlocks 5a and 5b),
except for 13c which is unlocked a different way. If there is no S, then the
level is unlocked naturally as the game progresses. All a, b, c levels are
optional.
- M: In this mission you have the opportunity to win a Medal. There is usually
a T next to this as that is the way to win it, DO IT FAST! Getting all 5
unlocks a secret.
- W: There is a hidden weapon on this level, somewhere. Find it and tractor it
aboard.
- TB: Use your tractor beam on an object to unlock a secret.
Here is the level list. If there is nothing next to the level number, then there is nothing to do
except beat the level itself (which isn't always easy to do).

Secret Weapons, and How to get them.
4a: Enhanced Polaron Beam. While defending the ship, a com-channel will open
up with an alien proclaiming, "We are the rightful masters of the Universe (a
friend of He-man, no doubt), you shall be eliminated…blah, blah, blah." When
you see that, a group of three fighters warp in and are heading straight for
the front of the big ship. One of them, AND ONLY ONE, is flashing red. You
will have about 10 seconds from the time he appears until he whusses out and
warps away. Needless to say, you need to missile his ass to death, however,
you can blow up dropped weapons, so don't shoot two many. It's a pretty
useless and weak weapon anyway.
5a: Photonic Missile. Holy cow is this one rough. But the weapon is soooooo
sweet. One shot of this bad boy and any small fighter is toast. Its fast
and homes in too. Anyhow, when you blow off the one shell of the spine
vessel, it tosses out this power-up. However, where? Well, its not close to
the ship at all, its almost out of reach of the actual rapid fire weapon he's
blazing away with. It is closer to the end that is firing than it is to the
end that is not firing (of course). Very hard to find but well worth it.
6a: Enhanced Trilithium Warhead. When the Borg are attacking the Typhon,
look for a small asteroid near the big one. Blow it up. Pick up crappy non-
homing, weak weapon. As the Borg would say, "using it against us, is
futile", as they slap the crap out of you.
13: Plasma Burst: Bah, another crappy weapon. At the second split inside the
cube, its down the path to right if the turrets are on the floor. It's right
dead center of the tube, but is kind of transparent and hard to see in the
dark.
13b: Anti-matter salvo. Damn bugs. When the median vessel releases those
stupid crates, it's announced over your com-system. When the second wave is
released, go blow them up. One of the crates has this weapon in it. Editors
note: (I think many of these weapons are a trick as all the crappy weapons
are just tossed out with the garbage by the enemy, like this one and the one
in the Borg cube, and the one in the asteroid. They want you to use these
crappy weapons against them because they know it won't hurt them. It's a
trick I tell you, a trick! The good weapons you have to fight for like the
one below and the one at the Spine ship).
14: Enhanced Pulse Phaser. YOU MUST GET THIS WEAPON! This is the best
primary in the game. The flashing red dude from 4a must have lived, because
he is back, and he brought friends. Fighters come warping in out of
everywhere. While flying straight, look at your radar, most of them are in
front, but there are a few that warped in surrounding you in back but in a
scattered formation. Remember the color of missiles on your radar? Well,
look at one of the enemies that warped in behind you that appears to be
firing a whole cluster of them at your ass. Well, that's him! Lock and
load, because he doesn't chicken out this time, and watch that you don't blow
this weapon up by accident with a big missile. My game was prone to lockup
after kicking the crap out of this level. Once it is over and the cut-scene
of the Typhon leaving the atmosphere starts up, just start banging the X
button to skip it and get to the stats.
Weapon Tips
1. Generally homing secondary weapons are weaker, dumb fire are stronger.
One Quantum Torpedo won't even take out the weakest of enemy craft, use 3
instead. Don't fire Quantums at close range, and don't even waste them
against large ships.
2. Some weapons are better against shields than hulls. The Polaron Beam will
take down a big ship's shields in seconds.
3. Beam weapons are generally stronger but either have a shorter range or a
slower fire rate (as in the case of the Compression Phaser).
4. On larger ships, look for the flashing on an opponent's hull to determine
if you are hitting the right spot. If their health bar doesn't seem to be
going down, you are using the wrong weapon or hitting the wrong spot. Change
your tactics.
5. Some weapons are better against certain enemies than others. Usually a
"stolen technology" weapon is the most effective against those it was stolen
from.
