Classic Text Game:
Each game starts with a different number of Klingons, friendly Starbases and stars, spread throughout the galaxy that is arranged as an 8 by 8 grid of "quadrants" and each quadrant is further divided into an 8 by 8 grid of "sectors".
The Enterprise's surroundings are displayed in the default short-range sensors and issuing the library computer long-range sensor scan command. The Enterprise can move around the galaxy using Impulse Drive or Warp Engines using polar coordinates directions.
The Enterprise is protected by shields and can attack Klingon warships using either Phasers or Photon torpedos. Movement, combat and shields all drain the energy supply of the Enterprise, which can be resupplied again by docking to a Starbase. Issuing tactical commands takes up some game time, closing on the limit imposed at the start of the game.
The game ends when the Enterprise is destroyed, all Klingons are destroyed, or the time limit runs out. A score in the form of a ranking is presented at the end of the game, based on energy usage, damage taken and inflicted, and any remaining time.
Recent changes: Fix sound volume changing from 100% to 99%, hope it fixes Huawei Honour sound.
Fix exceptions around text input of speed, direction and shields controls. Fix reporting of exceptions to Analytics to fix crashes. Improve consistency in text messages. Save font size changes immediately. How is font size issue on Nexus 5 device?

Not All There I played a text based game in the late 70's on the mainframe computer at the University of British Columbia. This game is missing about 90% of the content. I will rate it at 5 stars if the following is added: * Three types of Klingon ships: Klingon, Comander and Super Commander * If you don't destroy the Super Commander, he will eventually attack and destroy all of your bases. * Commanders can pull you off course with a long range tractor beam * There were also Tholians * There were black holes * There were plannets. Some contained dilithium crystals * You could use transporter or shuttlecraft to go to a plannet and mine dilithium crystals * There were occasional supernovas that deystoy everything in the quadrant * Using warp engines at higher speed uses more energy * Using warp engines with sheilds up uses more energy * Using engines at speeds above warp 6 increases the probability of engine damage * When moving with impulse or warp drive you could choose speed, direction and distance * You could fire up to 3 photon torpedos at once be specifying the target sector, not the lame polar coordinates. *You could choose a skill level * plus all the stuff I can't remember
