The Ur-Quan literally did nothing wrong.Let's talk about the greatest PC game ever made.
>>342969394
FRUNGY FRUNGY FRUNGY!
>>342969394
they were evil all right, but they are better than most because they had a goodish reason
>>342969394
>Game praised for unique non-humanoid aliens
>Most of them look cartoony as shit.
>>342969936
>you will never watch a frungy game
>>342970096
The Ur-Quan aren't inherently evil. They're kind of Chaotic Good. I guess?
>>342969394
Stop! What you're doing to us is wrong!
No, I don't want to talk about it. It may be the greatest game to ever be made, but whenever I see something about Star Control 2, I get reminded that Star Control 3 exists. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>342970184

They were special *Campers*
>>342970495
It's protection to themselves. They are a race that thrived from survival with violence, anyways,
>>342970752
They're making a reboot. They bought the license to the games.
>>342970478
That's the Kohr-Ah and yes, they are braindead.
>>342970486
Whenever I think of the Arilou, I think of really deep lore.
You know, them. They. Those. That.They may even be beside you right now
you are such a *silly cow* prepare for the *dancing*!
>>342971410
They are creepy as fuck, why do people even like them.
It's just like my japanese hentais
>>342971810
they hit that spot between weird as fuck and strange'n'neat
>>342971810
they're a bizarre extradimensional evil but they're really nice about it
>>342970478
Black Ur-Quan, you jackass. Green offer you a chance to serve them or be trapped in a safe bubble so the Black don't kill you.
>>342970478
The Ur-Quan as a whole have the trauma of their enslavement passed down through genetic memory. Every Ur-Quan that lives has been irreversibly scarred by thousands of years of complete mental subjugation, as well as the collective guilt of exterminating the only species they ever really got along with.
The Kohr-Ah were created to be soldiers and labourers, to fight and build. That's exactly what they did and it's what they continue to do. The Kzer-Za were created to be scientists and bureaucrats, they have the mental capacity even in their grief and rage to step back and understand that other species aren't the Dnyarri, even if they believe they might one day pose the same threat.
The Kohr-Ah basically have the emotional maturity of hurt children. Lashing out because it's all they know how to do.
WE COME IN PEACE

>>342979109

>>342971810
Because they're cute and didn't really do anything wrong, who cares about a bunch of asshole rebel sex bots anyway? The Orz just want to get out of their shitty *heavy* dimension and *play* in a lighter one. The Arilou are just jelly because they want the humans for their own purposes.
>>342978406
This. It was keep them alive and lose the war, or fight the Kor-Ah and get back to keeping their slaves alive.

No dicks so yes
I played Ur-Quan masters a while back, and I couldn't get the hang of the combat controls. It looked like i was just flinging around at warp speed across the map until I was chanced with going next to the enemy.
Is there a mod or something to fix that?
>>342982373
Well if you're not an idiot you realize combat controls are exactly the same as in-system controls where you have to turn 180 and accelerate in the opposite direction to slow down because you retain your momentum
>>342981207
They also became psychotic after putting themselves through excruciating agony until said race was finally dead. It's honestly like you jackasses never payed attention to the plot.

>>342970478
Every species will put themselves over all else.
All lifeforms do what they do to ensure survival over all else, despite the reasons.
Now combine that with having been fucked over HARD in the past by another species it makes sense.
I can't imagine how we would respond to Aliens, if when they visit us for the first time they torture and enslave us. We most likely wont take too kindly to outsiders from that point on.

Everyone says that the Arilou are creepy motherfuckers and nobody really likes them but at the end of the day they're kind of willing to help you not get murdered by the Kohr-Ah so you can sort out why they've been raping our cows later.
>>342985753

>>342985793
I would too if the Ur-Quan had forced me to go and get shot up by other Ur-Quan.
The lava mushroom dudes were the coolest. If they were a faction in a spess RTS I'd play nothing but those.
>>342985753
>Too bad their ships were kinda sucky
the ships aren't any good in Super Melee but they're handy in the campaign(and in Star Control 1) because they're cheap as fuck and you can suicide them to take out ships that are worth a lot more.

>>I would too if the Ur-Quan had forced me to go and get shot up by other Ur-Quan.
the Ur-Quan never brought their thralls into the civil war. It's basically a religious thing for them and that'd be cheating.
That's why all the thralls are hanging around wondering where the fuck the Ur-Quan went: they left to go fight the civil war and never told them what they were doing.

Yeah but I dislike the suicide tactics. At the end of the day I want something that works and I can use through the campaign. Chmmr stuff comes in too late to make that big of a difference so until then I just use Cruisers since they're the best.
What is the best version of this to play?
I see The Ur-quan Masters is on 0.7 and it's standing there, are there any major bugs?
>>342986754
>not just avoiding fights until your Tug is so decked out it shits on absolutely everything in 3 shots at most

>I just use Cruisers since they're the best.
Cruisers are Okay but there are ships that will totally fuck the Cruiser. The Ilwrath, for one. Basically anything you can't manage to kill before it closes the distance will murder you.
Overall I'd say the best ship you can get your hands on in the campaign is the Nemesis. It's reasonably beefy, reasonably fast, and the rotating turret lets you keep your distance and rain shots on the enemy while he tries to chase you. And there are the marines, which are brutal(but you need to use them sparingly because they deplete your crew).
I like the Torch a lot too but that's just my personal preference, I always go out of my way to get access to them even though it's a huge pain in the ass.
How do I get into this game? This looks sick.

Nemesis is quite good but I don't like to side with Orz for reasons related to who they actually are (It's not hard to figure it out really if you knew who was there beforehand). Chmmr's Avatar is quite good I feel but it's pretty fucked if you're up against fast ships.
>>342984163

>>342985272
True neutral implies some amount of chaos. The probes follow their programming, or laws, above anything.
They should remake Star Command into an rtt exploration quest thingy.
>>342987765
I mean, yeah, the Orz are clearly Them, but aligning with them has no actual negative effects.
>>342987863

No they shouldn't. It would get absolutely raped for the current video games market.

You mean like SC3?
>>342988080
it's literally called the Penetrator
>>342987643
Some advice:
1. Have a pencil and paper next to you when you play - there are NO "quest markers" or "quest log" or whatever to tell you where you need to go / what you need to do, you're expected to write down given coordinates, riddles, points of reference for the future etc., not a lot but certainly some.
2. While it's not obvious, the game has a time limit. Let's say that if by 2-3 years you don't yet have a good feel of what you're supposed to do, step on the gas.
3. Whatever you do, for FUCK'S SAKE DON'T REPLACE THE MUSIC WITH THE "MODERN" REMIXES OR 3DO VERSIONS and for no amount of money don't ever enable voice acting; both 3do music and voice acting are later additions, the remixed music isn't as good and the voice active doesn't fit 90% of the characters, it's really shitty and the text gives the characters enough of a voice of their own, using special fonts and superb writing. Also yeah, expect to read lots of text, if you don't like reading this might not be one for you.
>>342986206
>they're kind of willing to help you not get murdered by the Kohr-Ah
No, they're willing to not let themselves get murdered. Didn't they pussy out and let the others get fucked when the first war started looking bad.
>>342988379
the voice acting owns, fuck you
>>342988379
>While it's not obvious
The Melnorme state it outright and you're never going to finish the game without meeting them on your first go
>>342988474
They entered the war with humanity did and left the war when humanity was slave shielded
They were never in it for anything but protecting their pet project
>>342988474
By "you" I don't mean the Alliance, I mean Humans specifically.
They're very clear that they have some kind of fucked up thing for Humans and don't care about any of the other species at all.
They fought with the Alliance in the first war up until the Ur-Quan conquered Earth, at which point they went "well, whatever, they'll probably be fine I guess" and left.
>>342987994
Looking at this feels amazing.
I've never played the games but read up a lot on the lore because it was too damn interesting.
>>342988703
>>342988474
also they're in no danger of being murdered by the Ur-Quan because they don't even live in the same dimension as them, the only reason they ever even come here is to put things in people's butts
Mmrnmhrm is such an awesome name.
>>342988379

Ignore this jackass. Sure the remixed themes don't have the same charm, they aren't bad. And the voice acting is actually good.

These are LITERALLY people from around the office and friends / family members; a particular scene with Talanawhich I won't spoilwas recorded by Fred Ford and the mother of one of his son's friends from school, and he said it wasone of the most awkward moments in his life. The voice acting is a later addition and it's no good, there's no two ways about it. Almost none of the voices fit the character they're supposed to represennt. The Melnorme sound like pedophiles. The Spathi are annoying nasaly squealers that annoy the shit out of the listener in a second. The Yehat are SCOTTISH for fuck's sake! It's just a jumble of awful and terrible combined, sorry, nope.
>>342988805
You've spoiled yourself, then. All the fun is in the spontaneous discovery.
>>342988379

also no shit the Yehat are scottish, I'm pretty sure some of their text is literally spelled phonetically with a scottish accent
>>342989192
There's still probably a lot to enjoy. Besides i don't remember all of it so clearly and i didn't read THAT deep into it. I just know the gyst of things, and hell these very types of threads are spoiler city. But it's also how I learned about the game in the first place. I've never heard of it before reading about it here on /v/ and it was the things I read you guys say about it that sparked my interest in it. At the least I got that.
>>342989214
>fuck off shill

Jesus I remember the SC2 community being less /v/ and more like human beings. Shill for fucking what, the Kzer-Za? The game is open source who the fuck am I shilling for? Being a moron for having a taste for the written word and preferring it over LITERALLY amature-grade voice acting that does not fit the character it's supposed to represent? What a couple of asshole I hope you're invaded by the Orz tonight.
>>342989578

I don't think it's a reboot I think they said something along the lines of it's a spinoff which leaves room for a true SC3 if Toys For Bob ever get on it. Still, fuck Stardock for buying the franchise in a fire sale and not selling it back to the original owners.
>dude the Ur-Quan have fucked off somewhere lets get freaky with some robots

Voice acting is fine. Some work great (Orz) Some are okay (Kohr-Ah) and some aren't so great (I personally don't care for the Chmmr voice), but it's perfectly fine to leave the voice acting on, Anon.

I do intend on playing it. And yes its a shame. It's an even bigger shame a game in the same vain hasn't been properly made yet. I haven't seen anything as creative and unique.
>>342989891
>>342990096
Toys For Bob still have the rights for all the characters, story, plot etc., which is exactly why this is a spinoff and not a remake - they simply don't have the rights to be even more lazy and reuse all the old readily-available assets. Instead we'll be stuck with a mediocre game at best, for an era of badly written games that don't value the player's intelligence. What a travesty that no one remembers TfB for this game, or this game at all for that matter.
Jesus calm your tits faggots, the voice acting is pretty shit and the remixed music isn't great either. It's perfectly valid for someone to point it out, ultimately whoever is playing can try both for the first ~20 mins and see which they prefer.

They still have their own little dev studio and shit tons of money from Skylanders so I'm pretty sure Activision wouldn't interfere too much with their baby. These are the same guys that worked for free over weekends to get SC2 finished when they were under Accolade, it's near and dear to them. Also they did have a petition awhile back to see if there was interest in another SC game on their site, dunno if it's still there.

There's only one right thing for them to do and it's to sell it back to TfB. Their cynical attempt to create some shitty spinoff and make money off innocent fan nostalgia is not good.

This has to be bait. The voices are great. Far better than SC3. Fwiffo would be far less amazing if he had no voice, the Zoq-Fot-Pik work mainly because of the voices and the Melnorme voice fit the group perfectly. Hayes was also based.

>Jesus I remember the SC2 community being less /v/ and more like human beings
Mainly because we don't usually have spergs like you bitching about a good addition. I didn't care for the newer themes over the older ones, but that's mainly because I wanted to play it first with the older ones, not because they were shit as you seem to think.

For the guy who didn't realize the Penetrator piloted by Sirens, ZEX = SEX
>>342989094
This. Not to mention stuff like the scene with Commander Hayes seeing the player ship for the first time being completely spoiled by the voice actor not giving a fuck.
I do have a soft spot for a few of them, though, like the Mrs. Doubtfire Pkunk

they re-made it as Ur-Quan Masters

>Fwiffo would be far less amazing if he had no voice
Someone's illiterate I suppose, since I've read hunderds of books where the characters were amazing and had no voice acting.
>we don't usually have spergs like you bitching
Your age is showing. Opinion discarded.

I know.
They should remake it into an RTT series whereby you build and manage multiple fleets in the overworld, and can travel to procure more allies, fleets, resources and that kinda stuff basically like SC2 and all, but improve combat so it's not so much a 1v1 fite me bro and instead a tactical fight between two fleets where you can give different kinds of commands to different units while you control your flagship or take direct control of any ship you'd like. And then you'd wanna build a well rounded fleet and all, and I'd also like to see more than one ship per race, although there shouldn't be TOO huge of disparity between the sub ships. Like humans should get the Cruiser for long range bombardment and all, but they shouldn't get some kind of cqc specialist ship since that's the whole weakness of Cruisers.

>Some work great (Orz)
Bullshit. They didn't even use a different voice for the *translated* words. Even Star Control 3 got that right.

All other memeing aside, I really like Junior Scientist Hawkins

>INCOMING MESSAGE EXTREMELY UNORTHODOX IN COMPOSITION. TRANSLATION INCLUDES MANY LINGUAL BEST-FITS. FOR CLARITY, BEST-FITS ARE DENOTED BY ASTERISK PAIRS.
That whole thing was stupid. The whole thing is a wonky translation, the bits in asterisks are just words the computer has even more trouble understanding. Orz isn't talking any differently and trying to make up for the original text justification by having a different voice makes it sound retarded.
>>342990635
Agreed completely.
>>342991737
Good thing I never said he wasn't good without a voice, just far less than with it.
I've been in multiple SC threads and people like you don't usually bitch like you are. In fact they get blown up, like you have been by multiple people.

Best Precursors tracks are the straight "update" tracks
how was star control 3?
I only saw screenshots of those ugly puppets and never even tried it
>>342995078
awful
>>342995078
Terrible in all respects
Extra points for recycling so much of the SC2 script. Basically nothing Orz says is actually written by the SC3 writers.
And when they did write their own shit we got things like the Kzer-Za saying"We live to serve"orbecoming so anally devastated that they got beaten they start acting like and quoting the Kohr-Ah
>>342992565
The most distinctive thing about the Orz is the text translation constantly reminding you that it's so distinctively alien you can't even parse half the words it says. The audio doesn't convey that and it's disappointing. It's worse than no audio at all.

oh I was hoping for new dialogue to enjoy at the very least so I would watch a lets play but I don't know anymore
>>342996209
Just watch a lets play and make your own opinion instead of asking /v/.
I cried to this quest line.
