8-ball

8-ball is a minigame available in the bars of Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. Juno Markev can play 8-ball to gamble for credits and ship components.

Game's rules are simple: the first player who pockets a ball gets the relative full/strife assignation (excluded the ball "8"). The first player that pockets all his own set of balls and after that the ball number "8" win. Some faults can let you lose the game, so play carefully :-)

Prizes
Playing 8-Ball in various space stations, you can win the following components:

Otherwise, the prize is a cash prize that ranges from 570-12,000 credits.

Tips
8-ball in Rebel Galaxy features a guideline, with controls to determine the angle and power of your shot. However, the guideline's accuracy is not perfect -- it is deliberately inaccurate depending on such factors as range of the ball and speed at the point of contact. While there are exceptions (which can only be learned through the experience of trial and error), for MOST shots from short range, you will not want to exceed 30% power. Similarly, for MOST shots from long range, outside of the break shot, you will not want to exceed 40% power. Real world physics agrees that range and speed of the ball should affect accuracy of the shot (or in this case, the guideline), but the developer admits the numbers are more estimates than scientific calculations. In general, however, most players -- once they are used to the table -- feel as if his calculations are reasonably accurate.

The guideline is still effective if you're used to the manner which those power and range modifiers have on it, but you nevertheless need to keep a common-sense eye out for potential obstacles (such as other balls, or the lip of a pocket). Because of the perspective of the pool table during your shot, angled shots into the side pocket are far more difficult than corner pockets (at least until you are used to the gameplay). Perspective issues can also make shots such as bank shots and ricochets exceedingly difficult, so those are only suggested for advanced players.

It should be noted that Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is an arcade-style flight sim, with 8-ball being a mini-game... not the other way around. There apparently has been some confusion about that.
