The player can view a text-based map of the current quadrant by issuing the short-range scan command. Stars, Klingon ships, starbases, and the "Enterprise" itself are shown as text-based figures in a square grid; the "Enterprise", for example, is represented with codice_1. The player can also use the long-range scan to print out a map of the quadrants lying directly around the "Enterprise", with a list of the number of stars, Klingons, and starbases in each quadrant. The player moves between and within quadrants with the warp drive.
