The Ur-Quan Masters Discussion Forum

Did anyone actually change the shp files as a cheat or was that just me :P

I once swapped the original Cruiser with a Dreadnought... I think it was the Umgah in me. Har! Har! Har!
That poor Ilwrath... had to fight his own masters. And, of course, Tanaka was REALLY right that he was fighting the Ur-Quan...

Also, more recently (before learning of UQM), I've used Colibri's editor to make a Druuge Machine Gun - it's very neat. Also a Confusion Ray Machine Gun... wacky. (ah, not - the CRMG was in UQM...)

When I first started playing, I got so fed up, I changed the Cruiser to an Avatar :P Silly me, thinking the Avatar was the most powerful ship, haha.

At least you beat that Avenger easily... and the Probes.
Plus, the AI is not so good against the Avatar except with the Dreadnought, the Marauder, the Mauler and the Orz.

I find it fairly easy to beat AI Druuge or AI Orz with an Avatar. The only real threats are the Ur-Quan ships, because they do so much damage before dying.

You know, come to think of it, not sure of it (my memories serve me badly) but I think I remember seeing once my Cruiser being beaten by the Avenger (in the beginning). Now, the fact doesn't suprise me as such, but the fact that it used to be a simple battle - so I retried it with my ship flown by AI and I lost again! I think it has something to do with the fact that I picked up Fiffo on my way to Earth.

Well the chmmr became the human and the pkunk became the Kohr-Ah... that was funny

I've died fighting the dillrats with the earthling as well.  If it happens, it's due to them spawning right next to you and torching you before you can get the hell outta there.
