Title: Neat stuff to try in UQM?
Post by: eggy on August 21, 2005, 05:15:45 pm
I've already finished the game, and was wondering if there were any cool easter eggs or alternative paths to take through the game.
I went to all the rainbow worlds, including groombridge, but nothing happens :|
I exhausted all the dialogue with the Melnorme, they didn't really say anything I hadn't found through other races.
I played that fuel prank on the Druuge, that was fun :)
I guess I haven't tried selling crew yet, that ought to be interesting.
Any interesting things to do and see?

Wait for the Kohr-Ar to start exterminating the galaxy, then go to Vela (near Zeeman) and chat with the lone Kzer-Za
Get hypnotized and tell the Ur-Quan of the psychic compulsion ^v^

Great ideas!
UNFORTUNATELY
I killed that ur-quan a long time ago
FORTUNATELY
I have 30+ saves at various points in the game
UNFORTUNATELY
UQM does not let me add descriptive names to my save games
FORTUNATELY
It's open source, and I'm a coder :D

One fun thing to do, for me at least, was to play the game as
an evil Captain. Threaten everyone, name your alliance "Empire of...."
and see how many races you can attack and still complete the game.

One time I went forth and cleansed every system in VUX space...

Without General ZEX, the VUX are hopeless blubbering piles of green goop on my missiles. Great way to earn resources and fun to boot.

Unfortunately it seems that the VUX potential for manufacturing is large enough to outstrip any of the Captains efforts to cleanse the VUX and lay siege to their homeworld...

I think I'm going to do that now ;)

This is a mirror universe where last time I played good (as Zelnick) with the flagship Vindicator it now becomes:

I play evil as Zelnicar of the flagship Emperor :P

Now that does sound like a good idea.... :)

[prepares to boot up UQM  >:(  ]

Flagship "Xenophobe" sounds applicable.....
