Hello, can i give more power to the Earthlight, this starship is cool but needs more power, can u help me to modify this ship please.

You can only modify the flagship.

Scotty - I'm given 'er all she's got captain!

Kirk - Scotty I need more speed now!

Scotty - If I give 'er any more and she'll blow!

 :P

Star Trekkin' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCARADb9asE) across the universe, on the starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk!

You can make a mod for that. Just download the UQM source code from here (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sc2/uqm-0.6.2-source.tgz?download), go to sc2\src\sc2code\ships\human. In human.c, MAX_THRUST is the maximum speed of the ship, THRUST_INCREMENT is how much acceleration a single propulsion red dot provides, and THRUST_WAIT is how many frames you have to wait between two consecutive propulsion red dots. Ignore the commented part (the part between /* and */).
After making the necessary modifications, save and compile. See here (http://koti.mbnet.fi/lonnberg/MinGWUQM.txt) for compiling under Windows. Replace UQM's executable with the executable you get (in the sc2 directory it will be), or rename the new executable and put it in the UQM folder (be sure to use the new executable to run UQM). You will not be able to netplay if you use this modified UQM (unless you netplay with someone that has this modified UQM too).

OH MY GOD! THANK YOU Novus! I haven't herad that in like 10 yaears. HAHAHA!!! LOL! Brilliant ;D

The earthling cruser was designed for SC1 where a ship could be powerful if it gets some Achilles heel. For the earthling it's speed is it's weekness.

But i have installed UQM on Ubuntu 7.04? where can i do it???

Kirk: Beam me up, Mr Scott, Sulu go to warp!
Sulu: Warp 3, sir?
Kirk: No! That will be way too slow!
Sulu: Warp 4, sir?
Kirk: That is still way too slow!
Sulu: Warp 5, sir.
Kirk: It is still too damn slow!
Sulu: Warp 6?
Kirk: It's too damn slow!
Sulu: Warp 7?
Kirk: It's too damn slow!
Choir: It's too damn slooooow!

Kirk: No, No, No, No, No, No, No!

(Star Trek Rhapsody, go look for it ;))

Thats too (damn) funny. :P I missed this by Weird Al. Thanks Elerium.

No, you did not. Not every attempt at musical comedy is by Weird al. This one apparently is by the "Hillman Morning Show".

What do the codes mean 0XDEC0DE?

Step-by-step:
This is the command to get the source code for UQM; enter in the shell of your choice.

This should get all the stuff needed to compile UQM.

RTFM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM) and Profit! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underpants_Gnomes#The_Gnomes) summarise the remaining activities you need to perform.

Hmmm, I could of swore that I saw that the song was done by Weird Al. Or did you mean the video I posted?

http://www.lyricsandsongs.com/song/484070.html

This is yet another song commonly claimed to be by Yankovic that isn't (http://free.house.cx/~eil/etc/notal_list.html).

Thank you Novus and meep for the correction.

I never heard that song before yesterday. I did a quick search of it and thats what I found.

I see Y.O.D.A is on that list. Now thats one I thought for sure was done by him ( W.A.). Learn something every day. ;)

However, he did do "Yoda", as evidenced by his catalogue (http://www.weirdal.com/catalog.htm). Basically, there's so much confusion about what Weird Al has or has not written that it's best to check the official listings.

Actually, Weird Al did do a song named Yoda, to the tune of Lola by the Kings. The one that is not his is Y.O.D.A. to the tune of Y.M.C.A. by the Village People. That one was apparently done by "The Great Luke Ski".

The Kinks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kinks), not The Kings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kings).

I'd swear I wrote "Kinks". Oh, well.
