II. What's the difference between Tyrian and Tyrian 2000?
------------------------------------------------------
[II a.] New Levels List
Tyrian 2000 features new levels on a new episode called
Episode 5 : Hazudra Fodder.
[II b.] New Ships
Name : Storm
Cost : 5000
Armor : 3
Description :
The Storm is an older model fighter from the Bontoria
War which erupted about 220 star years ago. Unique at
it's time, it was the first starfighter which is
equipped with an experimental phase shift technology
which rendered the craft impossible to hit.
In later years, Microsol acquired the technology
for it's somewhat popular USP Talon craft series.
Unfortunately, it required critical extra space,
severely limited the size of the craft, and required
excessive energy boosts.
Name : Gencore II
Cost : 17000
Armor : 7
Description :
This craft is the result of the Gencore raids of
key Microsol research facilities following recent conflicts
in the Asteroid sectors.
Taking an existing design, Gencore retrofitted it with
an advanced armor design and power couplings, resulting in an
economical, but worthy craft, this design redically improves
Gencore military effectiveness.
[II c.] New Weapons
Weapon Name : Needle Laser
Weapon Type : Front Weapon
Damage : 3/5
Cost : 600
Notes : This weapon will go through projectiles and enemy ships.
Description : Looks like your generic shooter game laser. Not a bad
weapon at all, can deal more damage than the charge cannon at a
lesser price.
Weapon Name : Dragon Frost
Weapon Type : Front Weapon
Damage : 2/5
Cost : 700
Notes : The middle shot of this weapon will go through projectiles
and enemy ships.
Description : Fires a 3-directional "ice-ball" , the middle shot
goes enemy's ships and other things, unfortunately,
it's side shots does miniscule damage, and the middle
shot is not powerful enough to kill enemies in one
shot....
Weapon Name : Bubble-Gum Gun
Weapon Type : Sidekicks
Damage : 1/5
Cost : 6000
Description : It will FLOOD the screen with circular shaped gums,
unfortunately, it's too weak plus the fact that it needs LOTS of
time recharging after shooting it.
Weapon Name : Battle Ship-Class Firebomb
Weapon Type : Sidekicks
Damage : 2/5
Cost : 65000
Description : This version of the Firebomb fires at six different
angles, compared to two, nothing else, buy if you have an extra
money to spend, if not, avoid like the plague.
