Intellivision HSC Season 17 - Game 6 - The Dreadnaught Factor

I think you are referring to "Energy Vents."  If you destroy the Energy Vents the ship explodes.  Of course, I've done this, but the "Silos" are the black, sort of rectangular shaped, spots with a little white dot.  The manual implies that if you destroy all 5 of those (It says there are 5 on each ship. I've never counted.) then it won't be able to fire the planet destroying missiles.  Since I've never seen a DNaught get to the hyperspace point and NOT launch its missiles, I am skeptical about this.

This is very true. Destroy the missile silos and it will just sit there at your stargate unable to fire on your planet.  It’s very helpful if you can do this against the tough ships like the razor or donut.

I was able to test it out last night.  It works even on game 7.  The Cigar and Delta are particularly vulnerable to this tactic, but you have to have enough ships left to do anything about it.

My 3rd Attempt at Level 4 was ALOT better. I only lost one ship the entire game.... I did not have to go up against the DREADED Razor at all. My ship sequence was the Triangle, then the Donut, then the Triangle again, then the Cigar and finished off with the Donut again. When you miss the Razor, GOOD THINGS HAPPEN... 😜

 

The Green Stargate means Level 4, the Purple Stargate means Level 7....

 

PERSONAL GOAL OF 17,500 COMBINED POINTS ACHIEVED!!! 😁👍🍺

 

 

DREADNAUGHT FACTOR - LEVEL 4 - 12,086 POINTS!!! (NEW HSC RECORD FOR LEVEL 4)... 😮

DREADNAUGHT FACTOR - LEVEL 7 - 6,821 POINTS!!!

 

COMBINED DREADNAUGHT FACTOR SCORE = 18,907 POINTS!!!

The triangle, boba and cigar are ok. The chick 🐤 is manageable.  The Razor is ridiculous. 
 

Cleared the razor. The chick is harder on higher levels! It’s almost as bad as the razor! 
 

I’m editing this as I go along. The razor is ridiculous at higher levels. That thick pink bullet … when you’re not expecting it…. Really? In proportion, that pink bullet is the size of the Sears Tower!

Not gonna play level 7 since I'm not a masochist.

 

Game 5 - 1,587

Game 6 - 496

= 2,083

 

I've always wanted to like this game more, but I get too frustrated. I should practice on easier levels and get a good strategy down (I've done better years ago), but I'm just not in the mood. I'd rather be making burgers :)

Jack now understands the pain of the RAZOR!!! :P 

Yeah, I got Razored that time.  BTW, my real name is "Jonathan," and I usually shorten my username to "Wongo."  Jack is in there, but it is weird to see it - my brain does a "who's he talking about" when you refer to me that way.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is a 3-man race.  I'm comforted to know that even if I had competed in the first two games - it would not have made any fnk!ng difference at all.

Sooooo shouldn’t your username be ‘wongojon’ then? 🤷‍♂️😜

 

I will refer to you as ‘wongo’ going forward... 👍
