Title: presenting myself... Post by: daedalus on December 12, 2012, 09:28:21 pm Hello to everyone!
I would like to say "I'm an old SC2 fan" like most of you, but that's not true - I knew UQM just from 1 year from the Debian (linux) repositories and... it was such a hard game to me, wasn't understanding what I had to do... Then I read here and there and learnt about the Star Control universe :) Even with my new knowledge, I confess I still have never completed the SC2 single-game... I'm working on it! And to train myself in melee fights, yesterday I had my first netmelee fight. How it went? Good... of course my opponent (oldlaptop) cleansed my fleet, but I have had a lot of fun and learnt about the potential of various ships I was ignoring. I'm happy to partecipate in this forum and to discuss about things with you! Title: Re: presenting myself... Post by: chenjesuwizard on December 13, 2012, 12:11:04 am Welcome daedalus! Glad to see you joining the forums!
Just so you know, very few people complete UQM first time through. It's a hard game. You need to know, right off the bat, that you NEED to write down EVERY date and location given to you. Title: Re: presenting myself... Post by: Slylendro on December 13, 2012, 02:50:36 am Welcome :)

Take your time with the dialog. There's a lot of backstory and lots of witty dialog that makes each race stand out. There are a couple of walkthroughs on GameFAQs should you ever get stuck.
Also, the starmap is searchable. Press / when in the starmap and type the name and it will find the closest match for you. Title: Re: presenting myself...

That one got me the first time I played. I had no idea the starmap was searchable, so I manually scrolled back and forth trying to find the right star. Title: Re: presenting myself...
