The Ur-Quan Masters Discussion Forum

Wow!  Captain Fwiffo just singlehandedly wiped out 5 Ur quan Dreadnoughts in a row!
Too bad the Spathi weren't on the alliance side from the beginning! :D

I was a bit disappointed in the paltry salvage, though.

Fwiffo is da man, he does that for me too. I also get good results out of Snurfel and Pkunky.

gotta rework that computer AI some day  ;D

whoa, 5 dreads in a row?? :o

yea, that's not so hard to do :P

Fwiffo is the man...  well, the mollusk.  I mean, who else could take out Dreads and 'Rauders like he does?  I can't help but love the little guy.

And it's great action as well dodging around. The real challenge comes if you only use your front gun though...

Spathi Rocks?

Don't you mean Spathi Stones?

Those perfect stones that are not too heavy, not too light -- just the right size for throwing at monsters.  They come in aqua, mauve or magenta colors.

:P

They don't get any meaner than Fwiffo!  I remember playing a game where Fwiffo took out every enemy to cross my path except for the Sa-Matra itself!  ;D

I always thought that if I made a sequil to sc2 that fwiffo would eventually find and join the black spathi, since he kicked so much butt in sc2 (and I doubt anyone woudl question that). He'd probably be welcomed with open arms, but go with trepidation.
I remember one time palying sc2 when fwiffo died accidently. I was so heart broken. I had to reset my computer immedately. I couldn't wait to exit the battle. I just couldn't go on.

Agreed -- a tragedy like that cannot be tolerated.

Actually, I always thought that a sequel would star Fwiffo and Talana in the main roles.

I could see a very strange plot brewing in the sequel betwen Fwiffo, Talana and Admiral ZEX... just imagine the possibilities!   ;D

Didn't ZEX die? But Fwiffo definetly needs to be in the sequel. Maybe there should be something like Star Control 2-and-a-half, The Adventures of the Black Spathi Squadron. hat would be waay wicked.

As I've repeatedly said -- the sequel should start out with Zelnick's honeymoon with Talana. They are surprised as an undercrewed Eluder approaches, bringing some sort of bad news, and there you go -- you have Zelnick, Talana, and Fwiffo, the three main characters. Things would proceed, you'd gradually bring more people on board, and so forth.

Sounds like a good idea to me. At some stage, we'll have to pick up an Umgah as well though. He could be the ship doctor or some such. Going to the doctor can be real fun!

The ship's councillor would have to be a Pkunk.

"Let me guess why you came here... you've met an evil alien species and you wish to recruit the peaceful races of the galaxy in order to defeat it?  How do I know this, Captain?  Why, the spirits told me, of course...!"

Either that or an Utwig as ship councillor.  Boy, that would be depressing. lol.   ;D  This situation would get worse if the engineer on the ship was a Shofixti...

I think the showfixti would be more fun as the ship's security officier.  Always with a 'security team' of showfixti, ready to die on a planet in a parody of star trek.

How about an Orz engineer?

"You do not have access to this section of the ship! KYYAIIIEEE!"

So, who'd do the cooking? Either a Supox or a Yehat I think. But the engineer should be a Traddash I think.

Hehe, the engineer would have to be Thraddash.  I could just see him 'accidentally' drop his cigar into the engine core of the ship.  Boy, would that be interesting...

It could be at some preset point in the story line even, suddenly you'r catapulted wildly through space, the extreme speed catapulting you *below*.

Or not. It'd be funny anyway :)

Real fun, you say...? With the infamous Umgah penchant for twisted humor?


*shudders as crew costs suddenly start to skyrocket after you pick up the Umgah doctor*


I think Hayes said it best:

No no no! you'd get more efficient crew! With a few extra tentacles, imagine how much more efficient everything would be.Also, noone would call in sick unless they really were SICK.

Plus, as long as nothing happens to me, I could be smug and grinning at all those underlings with improved parts. I might even be able to tlak the Umgah into giving me an extra liver.
