You all mean so much more to me than just being my cheat/hint manuals, but if you'd like to be used and abused by telling me secrets and hints to this game, I'd be a happy little earthling. Think of it this way: you're not ruining the game for me; you're helping save the earth... or somthing.

Well...........

You really should try and beat the game one your own.....
By doing that it will greatly increase your enjoyment to the game.
So I don't ever want to here you complaining about the game ok?

Ahhh- Still don't want to ruin it for you, but if you want it to be ruined then try:

http://www.cheatheaven.co.uk/pc-cheats-2/starcontrol2.htm  

Again I am suggestioning that you not do it, but you asked......

Yeah I'm enjoying this game. I'm pretty much a noob. My friend sent me the llink to download it and I've been waisting hours upon hours of my life playing it since. I'm enjoying those waisted hours though.

I'm at the year 2159 and I just heard there's a timelimit or somthing, so I figured I'd better get my ass in gear and that maybe some cheats/hints would help me along.

Thanks... I THINK... I might complain later... heh kiddin'

If you really want one....
Once you get the VUX beast at Alpha Serpintine, you can take
it back to the Druuge home world. They will give you the
location of an artifact that greatly increases the firepower of
your main ship's gun.

Oh, and when you meet the Shofixi Captain, make sure you kill him
quickly so that he doesn't set of his Glory Device next to your ship. That'll
kill your fun in a hurry.

Ummm.....  Zeep-eep?  I think you spelled it wrong, there is no such star as that, are you perhaps looking for Serpentis? That is were you get the Vux beast. While we are on the subject, There is a hidden cloaking device hidden in the Ur-quan's territory. It is put there randomly so I can't tell you what it is, also, it is cloaked against energy readings so you can't detect from there. Last thing, it is invisble, so you need to put the lander over every pixel of the planet.  But if you get though .... Sheesh, you got the best ship ever!

Are we telling you something Captain'longstockings?

Remember that day when you told dj not to do that?


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: FalconMWC on March 25, 2004, 04:18:56 am
Sure, but there was many differences:

First, mine was obvouisly false, I mean, there is NO way you can do that.

Second: Look at the remark at the end. That is another spot that I put to MAKE SURE that some new person did noit follow it.

There is a big difference.


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: Chrispy on March 25, 2004, 04:21:06 am
And mine was just a little joke. ;D No one needs to justify anything. Besides you CAN get this cloaking device. I know because I have it ::)


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: FalconMWC on March 25, 2004, 04:25:34 am
I WAS NOT DEFENDING MYSELF!!!! - Get that through your head!!!!
j/k

There was suppose to be one, but the makers of the game scrapped it because they could not make it more entertaining than the illwrath one without making your ship invincible. How do we know that there is not one REALLY hidden, just check the content file, shows you a list of objects you can get.

Hey, you guys are super helpful. Thanks!

So what's this I've heard about capabilities of travelling through 'wormholes' or 'slipstreams' or somthing like that?


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: Capin'Longstockings on March 25, 2004, 08:29:23 am
Son of a... I just got schooled... The Ur-Quan destroyed my starbase... piss me off! Starting over makes me feel like puking all over this keyboard!

Post by: Zeep-Eeep on March 25, 2004, 05:00:35 pm
In star systems with really big stars (super giants) you can enter into another dimension by flying into the star. But be careful! These stars are guarded by hostile slave traders.


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: FalconMWC on March 25, 2004, 05:04:23 pm
Well if you insist on having ANOTHER  spoiler yes, there is.

SPOILER

It is called quasi space. The way you get into it is by going to corrdinates 0.438, 637.2  - You can only enter one the 17 - 20 of the month. Otherwise, it is just hyperspace. Once your in you can go see the arlou by going to the biggest potal in the top right. They will let your ship have a device that allows your ship to get into quasi-space any time while in hyperspace. Saves time and fuel. You need to bring something to them for that to happen though. A Ur-quan warp pod unit. That can be found at        Alpha Pavonis       (50, 790).

Well, I went with the VUX beast to Zeta Persei 1(home of the Druuge, and they DIDN'T offer me anything! Is there something else I have to do???? And we are talking about Star Control 2, right?


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: FalconMWC on March 26, 2004, 06:35:33 pm
OK - Zeep-eep - You have had your fun, now to tell you TRUE spoilers.....

(Not that I belive you should be doing any spoilers, but......   :-/ :-/ :-/

Spoiler

You need to trade the shofixti maidens to the druuge - the VUX beast cannot be traded to the Druuge.

Also, the traders are not hostile the the large starsystems AND you DO NOT go to another demension.

/Spoiler


BTW - The walkthroughs I posted above had soem of this of - check with it before you ask on this forum.

Post by: Orz Brain on March 27, 2004, 01:11:00 am
Sell the maidens to the drudge ?!!? Thats just mean... And not even a good joke. And you DO need to go into the other dimension...


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: FalconMWC on March 27, 2004, 01:34:31 am
What I am saying is that the way to get into the other dimension is not through a super giant  stars.....

When do the Spathis close themselves on their slave shield?

This is just a guess.....10 years?


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: Death 999 on April 21, 2004, 12:18:45 am
No. The whole game doesn't last 10 years. Remember, these are the guys who went from stone age to nuclear age in about 200 years. They can reverse-engineer a slave shield in a corresponding amount of time.

o i c thx!  ;)


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: Krulle on April 21, 2004, 04:08:10 pm
BTW, there is also a Burvixese Caster. My favourite one.
No need to get the Spathi shielded then....

Try finding it. I found it before i found Rainbowworlds in my first game.

Nontheless,
Enjoy!
Krulle

BTW: Sometimes, during negotions, it can be really helpful being a jerk. Just try it with this or that nation.
"I SAID: What are these glowing bits inside of you?" - or something like that.

Post by: Druuge on May 14, 2004, 04:04:56 pm
What?!?!!

Can the Beast be found from Alpha Serpentis?
Yesterday I searched the whole Serpentis formation, avoiding Yehat (not on my side) and found nothing. Then I really got frustraded and thought that I understood the clue wrong...

It can be found from planet surface, right? And can be seen with scanners?
Maybe I missed that planet then....


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: Cronos on May 14, 2004, 05:31:59 pm
A hint, the Vux Beast is nowhere near Yehat space.

I'll give you a tip; It's nowhere where the original Ur-Quan conflict took place (SC 1) and is NOT in anyones territory.

Happy hunting, that should cut it down significantly...

Also, it's not distinct on the scanners. It will appear as any other life form will.

Post by: ChainiaC on May 14, 2004, 08:35:14 pm
If you've read 'le petit prince' or 'the little prince' in english, you'd know how to draw an elephant inside a boa-constrictor. And that's exactly what that constellation looks like.

I'll try in asci

          ________            
           |               |            
 ____ |_______|_______

Where the bottom line is the actual snake and the box shaped bulge on top of it is the bulging stomach containing the unfortunate elephant.
 


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: Druuge on May 18, 2004, 06:22:50 pm

Ok,
I found it already. Not by myself, i searched the answer from internet... :-[
Well, anyway, I didn't even use the information at once. That time I thought it was crucial to acquire the beast immeditealy (i was kind of stuck with it), allthought there was lot of other stuff to do in the game, which I just had not noticed...

Can the Pkunk be saved if I would have Yehat as my allies that time?
Or is this inevitable.
They disappeared from the map when they went to Yehat space.


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: Cronos on May 18, 2004, 06:34:15 pm
It's possible to send them back, but they eventually go back to the Yehat anyway.

Dont worry about them, they end up A'Okay and even give you a helping hand towards then end :)

Most of this stuff was on the link I posted earlier...

FalconMWC:  I would have used the link, but we have this really nice Smartfilter at work, so it doesn't allow me to go to that page :(  And doesn't allow many other nice pages also.


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: Krulle on May 24, 2004, 06:14:47 pm
try DLH.net, they have a section with Star Control 2 as well (FAQ and solution...).

Enjoy!

Hey, i just found a new one, using the old original SC2 for PC:

Find yourself some Druuge in space, best if not in Zeta Persei, promise them the girls in exchange for some electronic works they have to do.
Hand them the Vortex Spawner, let them reverse the polarity and receive it back in exchange for the maidens.
Function of the changed vortex spawner: Instead of QuasiSpace it portals you to AllButSpace where you meet interesting aliens, like the one ORZ in his entirety, *NGNN*, although they themselves name them differently. But be sure to have a damn lot of filled fueltanks on your ship (fuel usage is app. a 1000x higher than in HyperSpace).

Enjoy!
Krulle



Okay, newbies: this is a joke. Neither give the Druuge the portal spawner nor the Shofixti maidens. But try looking for the Cloaking Device.


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: FalconMWC on May 25, 2004, 07:32:17 pm
How many times has this happened in this forums history about the cloaking device. You know, if I knew enough about C++ or what ever they used I would almost like to make a mod so these claims can be true!


Title: Re: Enter Spoilers here
Post by: Krulle on May 26, 2004, 02:05:26 pm
I know, but i loved this story from the first time i heard it.
Maybe sometime someone does make it. But how to make it functionable???
My solution would be: Code it as if the computer will not know where the vindicator is, but the player does see the outline of the ship, so he knows where he is and where he's pointing at. Not useable for melee though, where you fight another player.

Enjoy,
Krulle
