Note that the formula penalizes you more for allowing Zylon to destroy a starbase than for destroying one yourself. I'll have more to say about that when we study survival tactics in Section 12.

Rating

A mission ends when...

  • You destroy all enemy targets and complete your mission.
  • You run out of energy and your mission is aborted.
  • Your starship is destroyed.

No matter how your mission ends, you will receive a rating on your performance... a posthumous rating if your starship is destroyed.

Mission Control bases each rating on the following factors:

  • Mission skill level
  • Number of enemy combat ships destroyed
  • Amount of energy used
  • Length of time taken to complete mission
  • Number of starbases destroyed.

Here's the formula:

M + 6 × (No. of enemy destroyed) - energy used/100
- Length of time taken/100 - 18 × (No. of starbases Zylon destroyed)
- 3 × (No. of starbases you destroyed),

Where M is a mission factor determined as follows:

Mission
Level		 Bonus for
Completing
Mission		 Mission
Aborted		 Penalty for
Destruction
of Starship
NOVICE M =80 M=60 M= 40
PILOT M =76 M=60 M= 40
WARRIOR M =60 M=50 M= 40
COMMANDER M =111 M=100 M= 90

Note that the formula penalizes you more for allowing Zylon to destroy a starbase than for destroying one yourself. I'll have more to say about that when we study survival tactics in Section 12.

Your NEW RANK is displayed at the top of the television screen by rank and class. There are five classes per rank, Class 1 being the highest and Class 5 being the lowers.

If you do not score at least 48 points on a mission, your new rank will be GALACTIC COOK or GARBAGE SCOW CAPTAIN. If you can't do better than that, your mission skill level is too advanced for you. Switch to a lower skill level and work you way back up.

NOVICE 80 - 111
ENSIGN 112 - 143
