Space! The final frontier. These are the voyages of the USS Rock Paper Enterprise. Or they will be, once I've worked through my launch checklist. OK, says here I start by activating the APU. There's no "APU" on the bridge display, but I'm guessing they mean "auxiliary power unit". Done! Now I have to wait a few turns, then switch on the actual reactor, and spend another couple of turns waiting for it to fill the battery. Now I just activate my helm and sensors, and boom, we're away. Where was I? Ah yes... its five-year mission, to explore strange new worlds! To seek out new life and new civilizations! To boldly go where some very old Star Trek games have gone before!
