Wow, so cool. Brings back so many memories. This is a way better version. Torpedo targeting was such a drag in the original. I love the new targeting bar.

I can't remember, were you able to destroy a starbase in the original? (I thought you could in the spirit of screwing yourself, but I don't recall an instant death or other repercussions.)

In this new version, I got into a battle with a Klingon in the same sector as a starbase, and fired off a torpedo ("accidentally") at the starbase to see what happens. It simply says you missed.

Yes you are right. You can actually destroy a starbase with a torpedo in the original game. I didn’t port this ‘feature’, since I could not imagine Kirk & crew destroy a starbase. But I should handle the case you just described in a better way
