8.2.1 Program Initialization

A few notes to consider:



  There is no detailed walkthrough for this level, because everything that occurs in Program Initialization is completely self-explanatory. Byte guides you, every step of the way. However, I will point out that you must not skip the training, if you want the highest score possible. And that's what following a walkthrough is all about, right?







After you finish talking to the last help program, you will receive an upgrade to v1.0.0.

1.0.0




Then you will receive an extra 5 build points right afterward, when you are given another help file.

1.0.5




Because of the first upgrade milestone being reached, you will be able to improve Jet's attributes.

I suggest putting attribute points toward Energy, Weapon_Efficiency, and Health, in that order of preference. I would advise to never bother with upgrading Transfer_Rate, or Processor. There are only a limited number of upgrade opportunities, and it's far more important to upgrade your Energy and Weapon_Efficiency attributes, in particular.

A higher Energy level will allow you to store more charge, and last longer in combat before needing a recharge. Weapon_Efficiency will do exactly what it says, and reduce the amount of energy that each weapon uses.




Final build version for this level: 1.0.5
