During a game (second mission) you will be asked to enter a PREFIX CODE ! Don't worry as this is NOT a copy protection code. I won't tell you what the code is here as it makes life too easy. A small clue to help you is .... Press C to access the computer and type in the subject that you want information on. Any subject / object mentioned can be typed in here. e.g. ENTERPRISE / SPOCK etc.
When you are on a planet etc. then all actions are performed with icons. There are some keyboard options that relate to the icons.
e.g. T - Talk.
S - See.
U and I to bring up an Inventory.
Some icons may have to be used with others to progress. Just select the first icon, now go back to the inventory and select the other icon and if they can be used together .... voila !
Captain's Log: Check your performance. Transporter: To leave the Enterprise. Options: To load/save game etc.

Use this icon to repair them.

Photon Torpedoes: Use this to repair them.

Hull: Not a lot can be done for this during combat.
Once the Hull is destroyed, so is the Enterprise.
Engines: Warp and Impulse engines, if damaged, will slow
the Enterprise down.(You can check out which parts of the Enterprise is damaged by looking at the side monitors. Red parts are damaged and you should get Mr Scott to repair them by pressing D and then select the icon that relates to which part is damaged.)

wounds etc.

You can use anyone with this icon, but it is
Kirk that will do the talking.Other objects will be added to the inventory only when you pick them up during a game. Don't forget to use Look to find out more about them. Also, some icons can be Used with others which might gain some results.
The better you do in each mission, the more points you will receive. The more points, the better your crew will function. During battle Scott will be able to repair the damage faster, Sulu will be able to manoeuvre the ship better and Chekov will be able to target the vital parts of alien ships more accurately and cause more damage.
