Empire, none of this pansy concordance or alliance stuff - time to go all Genghis Khan on these Ur-Assholes (and presumably the rest of the galaxy). Never played this game (but something similar on the Mega Drive, can't recall the name though), the set-up seems pretty perfect for this sort of game.

No, you started out on a rather ordinary lookning space station with a piece-of-poo poo white ship that may have looked somewhat like a penis - you could land on planets (to hilarious results of their gravity was too high) and drive around some sort or rover and mine stuff. There was also combat. All rather similar to this game here, but with more modern 2D graphics. You had to buy fuel and could pretty easily run out too...

Right! Starflight it was. Weird how common this sort of game used to be.

Man did Commander Hayes walk out of Mortal Kombat or something? I was expecting us having to fight him to death over the alliegence of his space station with that theme music.

EponymousMrYar posted:One thing that I'm really liking is that this game is touching on the 'freedom versus safety' issue. One one hand, we're free and able to do a bunch of stuff and that's pretty good. Slave shield is bad because the rest of us are stuck down there! Presumably the Kohr-Ah can ignore the Slave Shields, so it's more like sitting ducks if the Ur-Quan don't happen to be nearby. And I'm guessing the whole Slave Shield On One Planet deal isn't so great if your species have happened to live on multiple planets for centuries/millenia.

The knowledge about Old Brown & Good Ur-Quan (the originals?) and this here Milieu of Sentinence they seem to have shared with the Taalo amongst others is very interesting. The picture is becoming clearer, wonder if the Precursors were part of the Milieu too, or came before that? (Probably before). The Milieu and its members don't seem to be around much, what with the now-unGood-Ur-Quan factions roaming around, last piece of the puzzle?

I like to imagine the Kohr-Ah being pitted against something like a Dalek space empire. ...or any sort of extremely british, genocidal, robotic and extremely britishly sarcastic empire.

The Mycon could certainly be the big bads in a game of their own if they felt like it, use their shroominess and spores to spawn various enemy types / zombify others - they have a vast fleet and can *threaten the galaxy* Maybe they'll face Commander Shepard 2.0 [Right Hook Juffo-Wup] Unrelated, but I love everything about the Yehat and especially that voice acting. I wonder how the hell they spawned the Pkunk.

I recall there being some sort of overflow bug in the pretty newly released Rule the Waves game (one man show excuse at least) where if you went over 50 000 or so in weight on a battleship you could max out armor and mount something like a dozen+ quad turrets with 18 inch guns (or whatever max roof there was) because weight calculations got all screwy. If only we could find the same bug in this game, nothing could stop us!

Think I read somewhere that the Shofixti idea here was to have like, that one surviving japanese soldier found on an island decades after the war not knowing it was over? But wait... ZEX and his 20 Shofixti maidens? I think I know where this is going  And speaking of ZEX, I can't unsee that Umgah rubbing a tit and enjoying it immensely.

Hermetian posted:I really like how retreating from battle becomes a gameplay mechanic. In an alternative reality, the included Shottoman Empire's last heir and his player-given quest to go beat up ZEX for a new Space Harem and enabling of the subsequent galactic jihad is one of UQMs "more questionable" storylines.

Narsham posted:Yeah, the Supox being attached at the hip to the Utwig means they don't get a plotline of their own. And the game never allows you to converse with both the Utwig and the Supox together, which would potentially make them more interesting. Supox are convinced to invite the Orz for a *party* at their place,

Does this guy also work for the Crimson Corporation? Voting Alpha Cerenkov. Get this monster off of our ship, and get us the Shofixti Maidens. Gotta get the ferret army up and running. Without the Kido Ferretai, how could we possibly sink the rhetorical Ur-Quan Enterprise?

Maybe they have some form of rules of engagement, ala Vorlons and co from B5. Although that went more like "What you are doing is dickish!" "... now that you mention it, gee, well, uh. Guess we'll be leaving now"

The japanese voice actor for the Black Ur-Quan sounds a lot like Dozle Zabi, a very distinct voice but I can't recall the name of the VA (compared to say... Wakamoto, which is the other go-to guy for deep intimidating voices)
