NSpace Pirates N

Up to four teams compete, with each player taking a specific Pirate role from the four different types available. Each character class has different strengths, weaknesses and special abilities. Pirates have unlimited lives and cannot be prematurely eliminated from the mission. Shots and missiles, however, are limited, and Pirates must be regularly resupplied by their ammo carrier.

Pirate Class	Shots Initial/Resupply/Max	Missiles Initial/Resupply/Max	Hit Points
Captain	20 / 10 / 40	None	2
	Nuke: All opponents are deactivated. To use, whilst alive, press the feature button for two seconds and stay alive for 3 more seconds . Nukes Cost: 20 Special points. If a Captain is deactivated after activating a nuke but before it detonates (approx. 3 seconds), the nuke is cancelled and has no effect on opponents.
Pirate Class	Shots Initial/Resupply/Max	Missiles Initial/Resupply/Max	Hit Points
Hangman	50 / 10 / 100	5 / 5 / 5	3
	Rapid Fire; Hangman always has rapid fire, but does not receive any normal lock-on tone. Payback: Hangman is instantly reactivated. To use, press feature button for 2 seconds, Cost: 10 Special points
Pirate Class	Shots Initial/Resupply/Max	Missiles Initial/Resupply/Max	Hit Points
Saboteur	30 / 10 / 60	10 / 5 / 10	1
	Stealth: Saboteur’s visible lights can be deactivated making them hard to see. To switch between stealth and normal modes, press feature button for 2 seconds. A Saboteur can only fire shots while in non-stealth mode, and can only fire missiles while in stealth mode. The missiles used by a saboteur in-stealth lock-on much faster than the missiles used by other character classes. Other players cannot obtain a normal lock-on on a saboteur in stealth, but can obtain a missile lock.
Pirate Class	Shots Initial/Resupply/Max	Missiles Initial/Resupply/Max	Hit Points
Ammo Carrier	Unlimited	Unlimited	1
	Resupply; The Ammo Carrier resupplies players on their own team by zapping or missiling them while they are up. Zapping them resupplies their shots, while missiling them resupplies their missiles. A Captain cannot use missiles and so should not be missiled by the Ammo Carrier (counts as a normal missile hit).
Navigator / Guardian	The Navigator/ Guardian starts in a deactivated state, however players may take control of a with a single shot. Once the he has been controlled, it joins the controlling team and assumes the same Pirate role as it’s controller. Once the Navigator/Guardian has been deactivated 5 times, he will become inactive again. He can use the same special abilities as it’s Pirate controller. The Navigator/Guardian’s Pirate role can be changed by a single zap from a member of the controlling team.

All players do 1 Hit point damage, however the number of hits a pirate can sustain before deactivation depends on the role.

A maximum of 20 special points(sp) can be accumulated by any Pirate, by zapping opponents(1sp) and target (5sp).
