 This is shown when launching from or docking with the space station.



                        \ --- Mod: Code removed for Elite-A: ------------------>

\.LAUN
\
\LDA #48                \ Call the NOISE routine with A = 48 to make the sound
\JSR NOISE              \ of the ship launching from the station
\
\LDA #8                 \ Set the step size for the launch tunnel rings to 8, so
\                       \ there are fewer sections in the rings and they are
\                       \ quite polygonal (compared to the step size of 4 used
\                       \ in the much rounder hyperspace rings)
\
\                       \ Fall through into HFS2 to draw the launch tunnel rings

                        \ --- End of removed code ----------------------------->
