TDP: Does anyone know an easy way to beat all the space battles in the PC version of 25th Anniversary? :(
I'd gladly put in a cheat code or mod the game to skip the ship combat completely.
I haven't played in years, but I seem to recall that if you put your ship in reverse (the '~' key on your keyboard) the enemy AI gets confused, and all the ships fall into a single file line to follow you.
From there, it's just a matter of putting your crosshairs on the ships, and spamming your attacks faster than they can theirs. It wasn't foolproof, but as long as the enemies didn't disable your weapons too quickly, you were in good shape.
Also, don't forget you can ask Scotty for extra power ('E' on the keyboard). This will help your shields and phasers recharge quicker, which will really make a difference.
Hope this helps.
