You can read this after your first contact with the Melnorme early in the game: I'll rot13 it below for any readers that might be using UQM for their first playthrough. There is one useful (but not essential) piece of dialogue missing from UQM even with the voice acting turned off. That's just me, though, and likely a holdover from playing the first one on a Sega Genesis.Īnyways, good luck with this game! There is a lot to discover, so try to immerse yourself if you can. I know it's against how you usually do it but I would have recommended The Ur-Quan Masters version, which splices in the vocal work from the 3DO version and has several quality of life improvements, including a much larger window when using your lander and controller support, which I think is more intuitive than trying to play with keyboard. Unfortunately, if you are playing the original DOS version, I think you are stuck with them. Ship combat can be kind of difficult, especially with keyboard controls. I can easily say I've enjoyed it immensely and I'm hoping you will as well. I played the first Star Control on my Sega Genesis way back in the day, and several years later found my way to getting this game. Once I saw this game on the upcoming list, I've been looking forward to seeing you play this. Though fighting them is also a good alternative to mining if you get good at combat, as destroyed ships also provide RU as salvage. It saves precious fuel and time, and you'll be able to outrun most enemies as well. I'd suggest to start with maxing out thrusters and turning jets.

'I suspect I'll be conservative and mine the rest of the resources in the solar system and buy some modest ship upgrades before heading out into the greater universe.' It's also necessary for formalizing any new alliances you make. He'll have new information about current events, and will also tell you details about any items you find. You'll be probably doing that anyway, but speak to the commander from time to time. The rock-paper-scissors of the first game is still very much in effect. I guess this qualifies as general advice: if you're doing badly in combat, try a different ship. Uh, why were you fighting with your flagship? The Earthling Cruiser you started with would've been a much better choice with its homing missiles. 'The alien ship destroys me in our first encounter.' It would be interesting – if you have the time, of course - to compare with the new version “The Ur-Quan masters” available in It is the same game but the graphics are a lot better and it works fine on modern machines. I think that you are playing the version of 1992 (probably patched). But, even so, it will be interesting to read your “travels” across the galaxy and to see if you manage to defeat the evil Ur-Quan. I believe that, as with Staflight 1 and 2, this is not really an RPG but more of an adventure-action game. But even so, because of my studies at the time, I never managed to go very far. I don’t remember what was the solution to overcome this magazines offered disks and I probably got a patch… The second problem was the first combat I've won only after managing to decelerate the computer a lot. The first problem was due because of a bug my ship could not travel up, across an invisible line in the map. This is a game that I’ve always wanted to finish but never did. There's a utility you can use to remap the combat commands, but using it seems to run the risk of breaking the main interface, which I guess is what happened with the first version I downloaded. Flying the ship is easy enough with the numberpad: 4 and 6 to turn, 8 to thrust, 5 to fire, ENTER to use a special weapon. I'd rather be able to just hit a keyboard option for each menu command, but there aren't so many commands that it bothers me. They're much like Starflight, where you arrow through commands and then hit ENTER to select one.

The second version I downloaded had controls that worked right plus someone had removed the copy protection (which has you identifying planets by coordinates).

I particularly couldn't seem to escape out of sub-menus, which was supposed to happen with the SPACE bar. None of the controls worked right on the first one I tried. At some point during this process, I had to delete the version of the game that I'd downloaded and get a new one. I flew off the Earth screen and back to the main solar system screen.
