BUMP

FRUNGY FRUNGY FRUNGY!

they were evil all right, but they are better than most because they had a goodish reason

>Game praised for unique non-humanoid aliens
>Most of them look cartoony as shit.

>you will never watch a frungy game

The Ur-Quan aren't inherently evil. They're kind of Chaotic Good. I guess?

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?

YOU HAVE SPOKEN THE WORDS AND YOU HAVE SPOKEN THEM RIGHTLY. BLAHBLAHBLAH MUH DYNARRI

>let's kill everyone so they can't do evil again

most braindead retarded shit ever

>want to either enslave or kill everyone
>not evil

also best theme song
youtube.com/watch?v=UiBJlqGQqfM

id go with chaotic neutral
they put their "we will be slaves no more" thing above entire civilizations

i can understand it but holy fuck

apparently stardock is making another one now

an actual star control 3?

They were special *Campers*

It's protection to themselves. They are a race that thrived from survival with violence, anyways,

They're making a reboot. They bought the license to the games.

That's the Kohr-Ah and yes, they are braindead.


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*!

They are creepy as fuck, why do people even like them.
It's just like my japanese hentais

they hit that spot between weird as fuck and strange'n'neat

they're a bizarre extradimensional evil but they're really nice about it

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.

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

>they're
Orz is a singular entity, you *lonely* *bubble*

i allways felt bad for the ur-quan, all of them
they got shat on a lot
they even got mindcontroled to kill the only species that the considered friends, the taalo

aint saying they aint evil, they are, but i can see why, and that makes em great villians for me

NEW BEHAVIOUR DICTATED

the slylandro are great, the theme is great too
all the music of the game is great, in fact

>neither of them is actually the Fot

i realy like the idea of the Chmmr
whats better than a crystal lifeform and a sentinent robot?
a symbiotic crystal cyborg

Isn't the eye the Fot? Zoq, Fot, Pik in that order.
>Tfw you find green attractive and blue fuckable.

YOU CAN ALL STOP STARING NOW!

Video games? Why would anyone *SNORT* talk about video games? Only the scum of Summer Culture 15 on Sup Forums would stoop that low. We Thraddash break your weak discs in half and scream how all of you have inferior tastes, as there ARE no good video games! HARG! HARG HARG!

I bet you'd ask a Supox for reproductive assistance as well you sick freak

Good taste

Nah, but I would hit on Juffowup.

How did any of these things guild shit or even move?

Mass Effect was better

our blue skined waifu was better

The same way they exterminated a predator species evolved to eat all three of them

I always take too long to do things and when the hordes come they kill me real good.
That's what I like about Ass Effect; I can take my own sweet time.

SHE'S SHOWING HER GLOWY BITS FOR EVERYONE TO SEE! WHAT A SLUT!

>the guy we talk was really young when he saw th precursors
>he sounds middle age
just how longlived are the cute gasbags?

>Summer Culture 15
perfect

He probably wasn't there for it, they just have an oral tradition and absolutely NOTHING to talk about so "that time a bunch of shaggy aliens came by" and "that other time a bunch of brown caterpillars stopped by" endure for thousands of years

nah man, he said he was little when the millieu was around

so fucking longlived, man

>cast planets inside slave shields to protect them
>doom them to eventual resource starvation, global war, and extinction

good idea

Except they're supposed to constantly check up on them yearly and keep them alive.

Yet they don't, as proven by the spathi and ilwrath fucking off years ago and the orbital station being dangerously low on reactor materials

well, thats becouse the illwrath thought the spathi would stay
(they arent too smart)
>spathi
>be corageus/brave/not a nervous wreck
pls

Did you miss the big plot point where they used to do it until recently when they had to go fight the Kohr-Ah?

am I a bad person for switching off the time limit?

Lawful evil, how is everybody getting it wrong?

Yes, it's plenty of time

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.

This. It was keep them alive and lose the war, or fight the Kor-Ah and get back to keeping their slaves alive.

I played the first 10 minutes of it.

I met the pkunk and then died.

Maybe I'll pick it up again when it's summer

>sex bots
Androsynth were all-male clones

One thing I liked about 3 was how they tied up so many plot threads.
Ending was better then three colored explosions.

This, except I got to the Zoq-Fot-Pik and couldn't take on the Ur-Quan. Now that I'll be done with work for a few months I can replay it.

>all-male
not seeing the problem
>clones
No they were synths, robots.

>One time Ur-Quan encountered a race of creatures so horrifically evil they either wanted to enslave every sentient thing that existed, or destroy it
>The Ur-Quan, after liberating themselves, decided that their experience with a race of creatures so horrifically evil as to enslave or destroy living things warranted a massive effort to influence galactic life for the better
>The best way to do this, of course, is enslaving or destroying every sentient thing that exists

They were organic weren't they? Isn't that why the other freaks killed them all off?

A race of fukbois?

you are what hate and all that crap
plus genetic memory of all those horror they made you do is passed to each and every child

they werent thinking straight with the horror
they are still a bunch of evil assholes

>It's just like my japanese hentais
It's not like tentacle monsters are new in any way. One of them even had means to bring back a race brink.

>the manual and dialogue are wrong and my headcanon is right
you might think you're only pretending to be retarded, but you're not

No, they were clones. The name is a portmanteau of the Greek Andro, man, and Synthetic

The Synthetic Men.

>a race brink.
race on the brink of extinction*. Fucked that one up.

It's like caesar's motivation in new vegas.

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?

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

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.

>tfw after five years and you see the space map

That's not the Thraddash theme.
youtube.com/watch?v=mb-gUVIqChk

>Get enslaved by hypnotoads
>Break loose from their control with pain inducing headbands
>Hunt the fucking toads to near extinction and then genetically engineer them into universal translators
>After that decide that the universe is too scary a place and so start the final solution with the aliens
>Ultimately cant make up their minds with what the final solution is going to be, so they split into genocidal side and enslaving side
Nothing wrong indeed.

Stand aside, real best theme and race coming through

>you never got to tell the Kohr-Ah you found the Mael-num

no it's definitely established that Slylandro live for thousands of years, he explicitly says that he was a nymph when Milieu scouts came by and that was at least 20000 years ago

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.

...

>they're a bizarre extradimensional evil but they're really nice about it

>Black Ur-Quan
Those are called the Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah. The "green" ones are the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za.

Superior.

*Squeezing* the *Juice*

>orzposting
the orz are all just one lovecraftian samefag

> Ur-Quan
> Literally Quran

Fuck this sandniggers game.

would have done the same if I was in their shoes tbhfam

wouldn't the crystals be true neutral, then? they're just pre-programmed robots.

>tell you directly, to your face, they've been fucking with humanity for thousands of years for a whole bunch of reasons
>but the only one they're willing to share is "we helped save you from Orz"
>everyone eats it up and acts like they're not creepy little Reticulan faggots

>that conversation where you can point out that by Ilwrath standards, they're all lawful good

You might be retarded, user. It's also more fuel efficient to autopilot to all the systems instead of flying manually.

> YFW there's dickgirl Shofixti porn existing.

There is God. Too bad their ships were kinda sucky, although their questline was pretty great. Thraddash and humans for life when it comes to ships.

Holy shit, HOW?!
How the fuck did you map the quasispace exit points, or find your way back to earth after a long travel? Christ, I can't even imagine. At least you got the right spirit playing the game...

>mfw Spathi slave shield themselves

Different user, but I never had the map when I first played because pirated copy before the internet.

what did you expect from a bunch of cowardly molusks
they dont have backbone, or ANY bone for that

>everyone eats it up and acts like they're not creepy little Reticulan faggots


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.

Pics, user.
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.

>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.
