PC Longplay [005] Star Control II - Part 3 of 3

[@johnliller3032]

Wow, that combat against the single Yehat fighter at an hour in was sooooooo painful to watch. . .

[@x2029]

I used to play melee mode 1vs1 with my friend and we had great battles.... but the campaign mode - we never got to the end and now I finally see it. Thanks for the great longplay!

[@philb9015]

The Umgah... straight out of Lovecraft's twisted mind... LOL

[@Ebonyte1]

A shame to miss the exposition of the Taalo statement to the Ur-Quan. "The words... the words..."

[@1865Highst]

I know! It's my favorite conversation in the game and the player didn't do it!

[@ReverendSyn]

@@1865Highst *Fuckin'*

[@KwanJangNim]

What part was that? It’s been a long time since I’ve played. I’ve forgotten many of the details.

[@kevinczaractual]

@@KwanJangNim It's been a long time, but there's at least one way to learn the words which will hold the Ur-Quan briefly, so each side will explain its history and motivation. Both sides' motovations make *sense*, even if they are wicked and extreme and must be stopped, and that kind of writing elevates a work.

@@1865Highst the player did a lot of things horribly i was on the verge of tearing my hair out and i had to look up a Speedrun just realize that you can finish the final fight with just 6 ships.

[@richlin9908]

Thanks for this final LP! I remember spending hours on this game only to get stuck at the end nearly 20 years ago. Never finished this game, but I am still curious to see how it ended.

[@AquaStockYT]

Good news, two new games are in development

[@rustyshackleford2479]

"ribald feats of unsurpassed fertility" lmao. Going to have to remember that one.

[@geilor]

Totally overpowered endboss...

[@Superschokokeks]

maybe syra, their paradise died, but the paradise of men of this species only began

[@WinterShine7]

this is nice, love the game thanks for playing!

[@GuerillaBunny]

Not sure if this is relevant still, but if you look at him play, he makes tons of questionable choices, such as buying several Earthling ships and taking them into fights he can't win, or filling his cargo holds with the cheapest metals which is very odd as he clearly has some kind of planet database, since he mines several exotic-heavy planets, while otherwise ignoring mining almost completely... He's clearly not interested in having more than the bare minimum of credits.

[@tightlypackedcoil]

GuerillaBunny I agree

[@mrhipbone]

Nearly lost the end battle with his poor choice of support ships

[@mdmnmdllr]

A big part of it was his set-up of the Vindy was wrong in almost every way except max thrust and max turn. Early on, he should have been stacking 2x or 3x hellbores up front, at least 2x each shiva furnaces and auto-tracking. With that firepower, you can pretty much faceroll everything you come against and earn so much RU from kills you're swimming in whatever you need. Use your support fleet for backup crew, not combat, so you only need one crew mod. And fuel would've been good with one expanded tank. Rear, before the Bomb, you could have another hellbore or a close range defensive laser.

[@sonder3519]

1:06:46 My favorite part.

[@ZorotheGallade]

1:57:00 for the part you're looking for.

[@damdarch]

thanks

[@ЛёхаКома-э7о]

Super game

[@linksbetweendrinks7032]

Having trouble against an Umgah Captainn eh? Yeah ZoqFot is kind of a bad pick... looks like you were gearing up for Yehat, but went with ole Utwig. Always a safe bet, but try Syreen or Thaddash. Might be surprised!

[@supersmily5SS5]

Minute 56:00 I love this guy!

[@ReverendSyn]

25:14 - *Does this come across as a really, REALLY bad idea to anyone else?*

[@martinmatanov5581]

The creature will pump up a stimpack and kill some zerglings any second now.

[@EdMcStinko]

That human commander pisses me off. Busting your balls about minerals, threatening punitive measures about slaves and lives when youre basically saving the galaxy, not to mention the life of him and everyone on the station.

[@aerie2251]

Well you did give 100 of his station crew to the creepy Satan dude.

[@BonjourTwice]

2:43:03 almost blew it

[@Mattmon2]

You are terrible at ship to ship combat. You spent a lot of money buying ships and getting them destroyed.

[@pasha21363]

shut up

[@ZorotheGallade]

Pasha Bykov That said, he does suck. He even lost three ships without hitting a single enemy once. And you can't really chalk that up to not knowing much about the game combat, because he kept selecting the same types of ships which were clearly unable to defeat the enemy. And then he almost lost the flagship! Also...he keeps wasting fuel escaping against those Mycon ships, which are so slow and weak they should really be no big deal.

[@pasha21363]

ZorotheGallade why he is escaping mycons? because his fleet cannot destroy mycon ships because mycon ship can regenerate crew (full battery needed) and can do a LOT OF DAMAGE to weak ships

[@ZorotheGallade]

Pasha Bykov They can regenerate *four* crew with a full battery. The Skiff can take them down in the time it takes for them to reload for a shot.

[@pasha21363]

ZorotheGallade not possible crew too smaill and battery too small

[@RobertsonBrendyn]

Try Star Control 3.
