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.
