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.
