The Ur-Quan Masters Discussion Forum

1. Where can i find the Chenjesu-Mmrnhrmm? (Aargh, the name)

2. What stuff is required to repair the ultron?

3. Is there an Orz dimension simillar to Arilou's QuasiSpace?

4. Is there any way to stop the Kohr-ah, or even slow down the cleansing?

5. How long does it take to the Yehat revolutionists win the Revolution? DOes it just take time?

6. What the hell is "Rosy Sphere" for?

7. How can you convince Thraddash to join the alliance?

Major spoilers below. Highlight to read.

Procyon 2. That's "Mmrnmhrm", by the way.

Wich direction is Procyon?

EDIT: Oh, forgot to ask.. Where is the Slylandro homeplanet?

Why can't you use the Hyperwave Caster to talk to the Spathi homeworld and bitch at them?
and one from 1992 so I'm expecting too much to have multiple victory plot lines and realism that a majority of any species is alway planetside and not spacefaring...  But still it's so obvious that if you can talk to the Chenjesu with that Umgah Hypercaster that you should be able to bitch at the damn Spathi for bailing... ????

Huh?

Does getting the Thraddash to attack the Kohr Ah actually slow them down or the Supox/Utwig attack either?

Does the number of ships you destroy actually effect an alien race?

Is there a way to win at the game without getting the Ultron fixed? Like could you capture a Deep Child and send it at the Sa -Matre planet? Or could you speed up the Chmrrr transformation?

And what prize to you get if you find all 10 rainbows? What pattern are they?

Now that the Syreen have a fleet how come they don't get a sphere of influence circle around Betleguese (sp)?

Where are all the non-spacefaring Ilwrath and Thraddush living that would survive the war?

1.  Which races are absolutely never going to give you plans for their ships or offer any ships as aid?

2. The Mrnrhrmm and Chenjesu could at least have transmitted designs for their ships thru the Hyperwave communication with Captain Farlie.

3.  Of the Ilwrath and Thraddush: someone has to survive.  It is highly unlikely there are not one survivor.   Like one last Ilwrath vessel responsible for the death of the final Thraddush...
Geeze, the Thraddush survived 19 previous holocausts so they must be pretty tough bastards.

4.  The Melnorme should sell you the plans to 2419.  They are superfast ships with missile batteries.   Like in question 1 the Melnorme offer you no ship assistance at all?

And even then, Shofixti don't have to learn much beyond: ,,Slam the throttle and point your nose at the enemy. When close, flip these three switches. Feel free to experiment, but don't flip the switches until you are in a real combat situation and flipping the switches has priority over everything else at that point."

But yeah, this sounds good. Maybe they have a simulator somewhere, but you can't simulate the entire ship accurately (if you try that, then why not just build a real one?) and nothing beats some real experience. It also explains why you can't build the Spathi ships after they cower behind their slaveshield. You can build them, but what is the point if you can't have an experienced captain, pilot and other vital crew transferred from Spathiwa's moon? (those lying bastards! Evacuating the moon didn't take that long! >:()]/quote]

Well, the simple pick-a-ship-and-fight-it-against-another-one mode in SC1 was supposed to be an ship simulator programmed by the Alliance. Of course, there's no reason the Ur-Quan maintenance Starbase would be equipped with any such thing -- remember that your SC2 Starbase is a glorified gas station with jury-rigged equipment, *not* a genuine Alliance military base.


Most intelligent in our neck of the woods, sure. But surely not most intelligent in the universe -- or at least not the most knowledgeable. The Ur-Quan are definitely far superior in what they know to the Chenjesu. The Melnorme probably are, too, along with, in their way, the Arilou, and even maybe the Pkunk (depending on the kind of intelligence you mean). The Utwig, once they're empowered by the Ultron, might even be smarter, or at least as smart.

In any case: I'd dispute that breaking is always easier than building. With something like the slave shield that might not actually be true at all. It's easier to fry an egg than to unfry it, to lock a door than to unlock it, and so on.


The Spathi seem to be two-sexed just like us -- Fwiffo talks about his "male parent" and his "female parent", who even seem to have traditional human gender roles -- the male goes out and works and the female takes care of the kids.

They also, of course, seem incredibly intelligent in their way -- Bronze Age to Atomic Age in a century -- which was always a very appealing part of the joke to me. They have ships that can clearly take on several Ur-Quan Dreadnoughts with ease, and yet their whole personality keeps them from ever becoming a dominant power.

Remember that the Spathi went from bronze to atomic technology in less than a century. They just need some motivation.

I never thought of the Chenjeshu as superior intelligences, just  cooler heads.  If my xenobiology is correct, the Chenjeshu's nervous system equivalent consists of microscopic hyperwave caster arrays rearranging the silicate crystalline structure... er... they're sort of like sentient calculators.
What -I- want to know is: if Earthlings are too similar to the Syreen for it to be a coincidence, why are the Arilou interested only in Earthlings?  Syreen & us human people would seem to be the only twin species in this part of space, and presumably humans came to be like the Syreen through Arilou modifications.   Though we may have all been seeded from the same source, genetic drift would surely stop species from different planets from reproducing together!

Another question..
How can you get the ilwrath off the Chmmr homeworld?
