Scoring

Laser Multiplier

When the player locks on to multiple targets, a score multiplier is applied to each enemy. The multipliers for the player ships are: [1]

R-Gray 1

Laser Multiplier
1st x1
2nd x2
3rd x4
4th x8
5th x16
6th x32
7th x64
8th x128

R-Gray 2

Laser Multiplier
1st x1
2nd x2
3rd x4
4th x8
5th x12
6th x16
7th x24
8th x32
9th x48
10th x64
11th x80
12th x96
13th x128
14th x160
15th x192
16th x256

Therefore, the player should aim to always lock onto as many enemies at a time as possible, and the locks should be constructed such that the most valuable enemies (ie. highest base value) are the final targets to be acquired. The maximum score awarded for a single enemy is capped at 999,900.
