Empire, god that brings back memories.

I guess you weren’t aware that it evolved (I think that’s the origin) into a RPG named Galactic Conquest, with some really good graphics. Unlike most games you had to qualify through “Academy” and were assigned a single seat fighter.
No ‘power up’ goodies behind an asteroid, no extra weapons in hidden places. You got dumped out of the Carrier with Z amount of Delta V in fuel and thrusters, X number of missiles and Y amount of Laser charge.

If you ran out during a furball? You got blown out of the sky, sat out the remainder of that particular engagement. And were called on deck post-engagement for your shortcomings, if the CO decided you weren’t worth saving, you were out of the game, period.

If you were good enough you got promoted, from Flight Leader you could make it all the way to Battle Group Commander.

Alas, long gone now, it was fun while it lasted.
