About this game

Visual Star Trek puts navigation, combat and resource management on a single command screen. The galactic map is at the upper left, the local sector scan at the upper right, and status panels below report events. The bundled notes were written by a player in 1991 rather than the unidentified author, so they are a practical guide to this archive's interface.

Left-click a destination on the galactic map for a long-range course. On the sector scan, right-click to travel and left-click a target to fire torpedoes. The same mouse button therefore performs different actions in different panels. Hover over icons for explanations before activating them.

Clicking the energy bar fires phasers. The notes warn that using more than 2,500 energy can overheat them. Dock beside a starbase to replenish supplies, and avoid firing at friendly bases or planets.
