After doing a fair bit of experimentation, I've discovered
that it is indeed physically possible to use the Force
(that is, fly down the entire length of the trench without
firing a single shot) on higher levels, and survive..
The bonuses for using the force on the levels I've visited are:
1 - 5000
2 - 10000
3 - 25000
4 - 50000
5 - 100000
6 - 100000
7 - 100000
I've managed this on all the levels from 1 to 7 without
losing shield energy (but not all in the same game -- I'm
not that good yet). Now some questions for the wizards:
Has anybody managed this on really high levels? Does the
bonus for using the Force remain at 100,000 for all levels
above level 5? And finally, has anyone played a game starting
from level 1, and managed to make 800,000 points by the time
they arrived at level 5? I can't manage it, even if I use
the force on levels 1-4 and clear all the laser towers.
Nevertheless, the game gives you an 800,000 point bonus if
you start at level 5.
