Escape Velocity
Mac


At the title screen, option-click the Escape Velocity title.  This will
display the EV-MST3K scroll.  At the end, when you see "M.C.B. 4:35
A.M." hold down option-shift-control-command-F.  You will hear the
Forklift theme song, "They'll Try To Kill 'Em With A Forklift".  The
loaded pilot will then receive the forklift--a weapon of unspeakable
power which the pilot can take with him (or her) from ship to ship. 
Don't use this weapon at close ranges...


The forklift is guided much like a torpedo (and is just as slow), but it
has an incredibly long range and does tons o' damage.  Seven
simultaneous forklifts (you need a LONG running start for THIS little
trick...) will disable a Confed Cruiser!  Five simultaneous will KILL a
Rebel Cruiser.  Anything less than a Kestrel will be killed with only
one shot.  Sometimes, small fighters are kind enough to collect
together.  One shot can kill them all.  


This is the only weapon I know of which is capable of killing the dread
Cap'n Hector, and only if you aim it at ANOTHER ship; time it just right
so that Cap'n Hector is passing the ship just as the forklift detonates.
(Of course, he's like Doritos... crunch all you want; they'll make
more...)
