Players can command one of several ship +types (Federation/Romulan/Klingon/Orion) and can band up in teams. The +object of the game is, basically, to control the Universe, by capturing +enemy planets, killing the enemy, etc. + +For more information, FAQs and beginners documentation, etc, see the +Netrek web site at http://www.netrek.org/. + +NOTE: This is the "COW3" client. It has several improvements over the +older servers -- a flashy 256 color mode, sound support, etc. Naturally, +these embellishments require more processing power. If your system is +on the sluggish side, you may like the "BRMH" client (also in ports) better. + +NOTE 2: This client is distributed in binary form, because it is a +"Blessed" client, meaning that it has been approved by the "Gods of Netrek" +and has had an RSA key embedded in it. You can, of course, compile your +own client if you wish, but keep in mind that, if you do so, your client +will be "Un-Blessed" and will probably be kicked out of the official +servers. This is to prevent some unscrupulous player from hacking his/her +client to give him/her superhuman powers ("cyborgs", or "borgs"). + +NOTE 3: This client, since it is still in development, has an expiration +date. The current version of the client will expire on Fri, 4/16/99. |
