I certainly wouldn't. It would be an old game returning home to the
Berkeley world, and I also used to play it a lot on the HP-2000.
The 'ol HP 2000 access, now that brings back memories... Did you know
I once wrote an entire multi-user BBS (emeryville's HP-BBS) in HP
basic? But I digress.. :)

> Trek73 is a computer-simulated battle based on the famous
> Star Trek television series and the game Star Fleet Battles. Via
> computer terminal, you can clash with enemy battle cruisers, such
> as Klingon D-7's and Romulan Sparrowhawks, and use the same stra-
> tegies that Captain Kirk has used. Like Kirk, you control a
> Federation vessel similar to the Enterprise; a computer program
> directs the enemy. Victory can fall into several categories:
>
> Decisive Victory -- You completely destroy or cripple the

> Tactical Victory -- You out-maneuver the enemy using high-
> speed escapes, corbomite bluffs, `play dead' tactics; or the
> enemy surrenders.
>
> Moral Victory -- You surrender or self-destruct and destroy
> each other.
>
> All distances are measured in megameters, one million meters
> (abbreviated `M'). Speed is expressed in `warp factors'. Each
> warp factor equals 100M per second. All angles are expressed in
> common degrees from zero to 360, measured counter-clockwise from
> the x-axis, similar to reading a protractor. Only two dimensions
> are used.
>
> Play is as follows:
>
> 1. You issue one of a number of commands (fire phasers,
> change course, launch antimatter pods, surrender, etc.) by typing
> the appropriate code number into the keyboard;
>
> 2. The enemy, under programmed instructions, issues a simi-
> lar command;
>
> 3. Both your commands are executed (phasers are fired,
> probes are launched, damages are assessed, courses changed, etc.)
> while the vessels move through space;
>
> 4. Unless certain end-game conditions are met (you destroy
> the enemy, the enemy destroys you, your out-maneuver the enemy,
> you both destroy each other, or one party surrenders) the above
> steps are repeated.

> Detailed Descriptions of Each Command
>
> What follows is a detailed description of each command.
> Each command is referred to by a number from 1 to 30. After the
> name of the command is given, a synopsis of the arguments the
> command requires is given, if any. These arguments can be
> entered on the command line, separated by a space, if you wish.
> For instance, to fire phasers 1 through 4 with a spread of 15,
> you could type '1 1234 15' on the command line.
>
> 1. Fire Phasers.
> [Phasers] [Spread]
> Phasers are pure energy units which emit a beam similar to
> lasers, but of a pulsating nature which can be `phased' to inter-
> fere with the wave pattern of any molecular form. Phasers get
> their power from phaser banks, which in turn, derive their power
> from the ship's engines. Each phaser bank is capable of holding
> a charge of 10 units. When firing, these banks discharge, simi-
> lar to batteries, to spread their destructive power through
> space. After discharging, these banks are then recharged by the
> engines. Each phaser can be set to automatically track a target
> or can be manually rotated. Unless engineering is jettisoned
> (code 21), phasers only fire from 0-125 and 235-360 degrees,
> relative to the ship's course. In other words, each vessel has a
> 110 degree blind side in back of it in which phasers cannot fire.
> If phasers fired into this blind side, they would destroy the
> ship's engineering section.
>
> The Captain also designates a wide or narrow phaser beam: a
> wide beam to disrupt many targets; a narrow beam to inflict max-
> imum damage on a single target. The maximum spread of phasers is
> 45 degrees, the minimum is 10 degrees. The total beam width is
> twice the designated spread.
>
> The firing percentage of each bank is preset to 100. In
> other words, the bank fully discharges when firing. This can be
> changed, however, using code 22.
>
> The maximum range of phasers is 1000M; the maximum hit fac-
> tor is 45 with a ten degree spread, 10 with a forty-five degree
> spread. Phaser hit factors are calculated by the following for-
> mula:
>
> hit = (bankunits)(firing%)sqrt(1-range/1000)(45/spread)
>
> Phasers fire in .2-second intervals starting with bank one.
> Phasers inflict heavy damage and casualties, but do not destroy
> shields as much as antimatter explosions do.
>
> A phaser is unable to fire if damaged, if firing into your
> blind side, or if completely discharged.

> STAR TREK

>
> The Enterprise is equipped with six torpedo tubes, which, as
> phasers, can be set to automatically track a target or be manu-
> ally rotated. Unless engineering is jettisoned, tubes only fire
> from 0-135 and 225-360 degrees. Each tube fires all its
> antimatter pods, which are temporarily held suspended in a
> magno-photon force field. Photon torpedos can be fired directly
> at an enemy, laid out as a mine field, or scattered in an
> attacker's path as depth charges.
>
> Tubes must be loaded (code 9) prior to firing. Each tube
> will be automatically loaded with 10 units or whatever remains in
> the engines, whichever is less. Normally, torpedos are launched
> at warp 12 in .2-second intervals, beginning with tube one. Pho-
> ton torpedos have a proximity fuse of 200M. All of these values
> can be changed by using code 22.
>
> Torpedos must be launched with care since the antimatter
> pods which are fired can never be recovered. It is suggested
> that you not fire more than four torpedos at any one time, since
> a certain number of them do miss, or are destroyed by the enemy
> firing phasers at them. It is also suggested that you fire them
> at distant targets, beyond 1100M, to avoid the explosion radii of
your own weapons. Hit factors resulting from antimatter explo-
> sions are calculated as follows:
>
> hit = 5(#podscontained)sqrt(1-range/(55(#podscontained)))
>
> The maximum hit factor of an antimatter device is five times
> the number of pods contained (in the case of torpedos, 50); its
> explosion radius is 50 time the number of pods contained (in the
> case of torpedos, 500). Antimatter explosions heavily weaken
> shields but do not damage equipment as much as phasers do. This
> formula also applies to vessels, engineering sections, and
> antimatter probe explosions.
>
> Tubes are unable to fire if damaged, if firing into your
> blind side, or if unloaded.
>
> 3. Lock Phasers.
> [Phasers] [Target Name]
> Phasers locked on an enemy vessel will automatically aim
> towards it. Although phasers may track a vessel which is in the
> firing blind side, they will not fire unless engineering is jet-
> tisoned. To fire at vessels behind, simply change course at
> least 50 degrees. Once a phaser is locked, it is not disengaged
> until the target is destroyed (in which case it is then rotated
> to zero degrees relative), relocked, manually over-ridden, or
> damaged.
>
> 4. Lock Tubes.
> [Tubes] [Target Name]
> Tubes lock and unlock in the same manner that phasers do.

> [Phasers] [Bearing]
> Manually rotating phasers disengages any previous locks and

> 6. Manually Rotate Tubes.
> [Tubes] [Bearing]

> charge/discharge rates (normally +10) of all phasers.

> 8. Tube Status.
> Tube status reports the control, deployment, tube levels,

> speed is warp nine, the enemy's is warp eleven.
>
> 17. Damage Report.
> This report informs you of certain equipment status. A mal-
> functioning computer (very rare) make orders 3 (lock phasers), 4
> (lock torpedos), 14 (pursue), 15 (run), 27 (initiate self-
> destruct), and 28 (abort self-destruct) impossible to execute.
> You will be required to manually rotate phasers and torpedos, and
> manually change course and speed. Damaged sensors (rare) makes
> orders 13 (position report) and 18 (scan) impossible. A damaged
> probe launcher (sometimes) prevents you from launching probes. A
> disabled warp drive (common) slows your speed and maneuverabil-
> ity. See order #20 about jettisoned engineering section. When

> The synopsis of this command can be confusing. The first
> set of numbers gives the drains for each shield. All four shield
> drains can be specified, but if a star is used immediately after
> a shield drain (eg, 19 0.5 1*), then the remaining shields will
> all be given a drain equal to the number preceding the '*'.

> dix 2. Dilithium crystals produce energy much like generators.
> This power is then used to maintain warp speeds, recharge
> antimatter pods in the engine reserve, recharge phaser banks, or
> maintain shield power. Your initial regeneration is ten, how-
> ever, shields normally drain four units and engines burn one unit
> per each warp-second.
>
> Shields can be thought of as electro-magnets. The more
> energy put into them, the stringer their force field becomes.
> Therefore, a shield's overall percentage is calculated by the
> following formula:
>
> shield percentage = (energy in)(effective %)
>
> Notice that dropping power to a shield has the same effect
> as having it hit. Notice also that if your regeneration drops
> below four, you may have to discharge your phaser banks to main-
> tain full shield power.
>
> Phaser banks, similar to batteries, not only discharge (when
> firing), but also recharge. Initially, they are set to recharge
> fully in one second (+10) so that you can continually use them.
> However, they can discharge fully (-10) in one second to provide
> extra power to shields, warp engines, or engine reserve.
>
> Under most conditions, you need not concern yourself with
> power distribution unless some special need arises. Distribu-
> tion, for the most part, is automatic. Regeneration is calcu-

> Trek73 was programmed on a Hewlett-Packard 2000C system by
> William K. Char, Perry Lee, and Dan Gee. In January, 1973, Mr.
> Char started with a few ideas and five months later, in May,
> introduced $SPACE, his first version.
>
> Space had only 14 commands and comprised one 10K program.
> Response was so great that new ideas flooded in and in June, work
> on Trek73 was begun. Over 70 recordings of past shows were
> reviewed to reconstruct dialogue and vessels. On October 8,
> 1973, Trek73 was introduced.
>
> In 1984, Dave Pare at Univeristy of California at San Diego
> and Chris Williams at the University of California at Berkeley
> independently translated the BASIC code into C to run under BSD
> UNIX.
>
> In April 1985, Jeff Okamoto and Peter Yee, both at the
> University of California at Berkeley combined the two versions
> into one, fixing bugs and adding new commands. The user-settable
> options were also added.
>
> Ideas and bug reports should be sent to:
> ARPA: okamoto@BERKELEY and yee@BERKELEY
> UUCP: ..!ucbvax!okamoto and ..!ucbvax!yee
