S.BAZ Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 note: to keep our scoring system consistent & fair I'm thinking we should consider the maximum score for Star Voyager to be 570. so far we've been considering a rollage at 1,000,000 to be the max. score for Yars' or at 10,000 for Frogger, etc. so, the max. count of shot down ships here would be 100. then multiplied & added to the portal bonus -- 100x5 + 70 = 570 so this would mean adjusting voodoo_chilly's score of 600 to "570 (ROLLAGE)" ... does that sound right to everyone? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 @ Mods: Do you see the TV color variation (and possibly PAL/NTSC screwups) as a problem? If yes, here's my suggestion: Don't count the number of portals passed and just use the *5 multiplier. This would of course make comparisons in the HSC statistics difficult, but at least the No. of kills can be easily identified on any screenshot, no matter how bad it might be. yeah, the color variations could be a small problem. not only the variance in TV's, but from one Atari to another the colors displayed can vary. Some 2600 machines have really deep colors, others kind of dull. I also have a Junior machine that shows really nice colors but they are all different colors than normally displayed on most machines. Colors can also vary from one emulator to another. when I use Z26 instead of Stella the colors all look a lot different. I think we need to count the portals though so for this one I guess we just have to trust ourselves to pay extra attention to make sure we get that right.

I think that's a good idea, although it's certainly strange to have a score like 570 be ROLLAGE. If we employ a (kill/portal/score) scoring system, then it would be (100 ROLLAGE / 7 / 570). That way, the ROLLAGE part would make more sense to someone who is not intimately familiar with Star Voyager's system. (It also allows for the possibility that someone would get 100 kills without going through all the portals.)

S.BAZ Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) 170 Lt. 24x5 = 120 5 portals x10 = 50 finally getting some shooting skills... (It also allows for the possibility that someone would get 100 kills without going through all the portals.) yikes i had a feeling there was a glitch in my thinking there. so you roll it THEN finish it to get the max. score. I guess we better just call it a max score. 570. Edited June 14, 2015 by S.BAZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoomUnit Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Your number of portals passed through is shown by the color of the border around the edge of the screen, as follows: 1 Portal -- Blue 2 Portals -- Gray 3 Portals -- Yellow 4 Portals -- Orange 5 Portals -- Green 6 Portals -- Violet 7 Portals -- Pink 0 Portals -- Blue 1 Portal -- Gray 2 Portals -- Yellow 3 Portals -- Orange 4 Portals -- Green 5 Portals -- Violet 6 Portals -- Pink 7 Portals -- Blue (again) Edited June 14, 2015 by MoomUnit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacey Invader Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 OK, I'm a little lost on the math too, so someone check my work -- but I shot down eleven of those damn ships, went through three portals. @5 points per ship and 10 points per portal, I think it's: (11 * 5) + (3 * 10) = 55+30 = 85 Which seemed much better before I added it up. I had an exhilarating experience rushing for the second portal -- my energy had hit 00, but serendipity allowed that I'd already shot all the enemies down when the portal came up. I can only assume that if I'd pressed the "fire" button by accident I'd have declined past zero and it would have all been over, without this smashing score of 85 for the history books. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your math is spot on. And you can't fire at all when your energy is 00, so you can't kill yourself. (Been there; done that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I have no idea how the math works, but I got 18. I can't stand this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoomUnit Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I have no idea how the math works, but I got 18. I can't stand this game. It looks like your border is green, which means you went through 4 portals. (18 kills x 5) + (4 portals X 10) = 90 + 40 = 130. And since your score is in the 112-143 point range, your rank is four chevrons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickeycolumbus Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 30*5 + 60 = 210 Hard to tell, but it's pink because of the admiral rank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 looks like you got 105. 13x5 = 65 green = 4 portals (see MoomUnit's correction of my list), x10 = 40 total of (65+40) = 105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
