Each time you fire your laser, the temperature of the laser rises. When the laser is idle, it cools down. Watch your temperature level indicator!
If the laser overheats you cannot fire until it cools down.
BATTLE TACTICS
The morpuls will arrive in their transports, and begin to attack immediately.
The transport ships cannot be destroyed, so do not waste your fuel. Each morpul fighter ship holds 2 morpul warriors. When the morpul ship is hit, the two morpuls will abandon their craft and attack themselves.
The morpuls will attack both your base laser as well as your outer laser.
When the morpuls are hit, some of them may discharge a missile, and explode upon contact with the spectron.
If either laser is hit, you loose one spectron
