Victory & Defeat (R203F)
An overwhelming victory in this game is paying off your entire spaceship loan of 120,000 S, and have a substantial fortune
left for high living (how much left determines the degree of victory you can keep on looking for more endlessly!). However,
staying alive and in possession of your spaceship for as long as possible is the real key to success. “Duke” Springer likes the
freedom of the spaceways. Losing his ship or his personal freedom is a fate almost worse than death. Of course, even if you
are imprisoned, or trapped in a stasis box, you can still hope to keep enough wealth to buy a ship, or otherwise get back into
the star faring life again. The only true defeat in the game is death. Actually, the process of playing the game is designed to
be sufficient enjoyment unto itself – how well can you survive as a rough-and-tumble free booting captain of the spaceways?
