Title: You guys are HEROES! HEROES I SAY!
Post by: Captain_Squiffy on May 31, 2003, 04:37:45 pm
Whats this? A properly done port of Star Control 2, one of the greatest ever games, to modern computers? Am I dreaming? Am I going mad? Is this an Ur-Quan I see before me?

It is! Oh glory be! Oh happy days!

The people behind this project must be heroes. Nay, godlike beings of omniprescient genius and general wonderfulness.

Any mortal praise shall be woefully insufficient for such munificient beings. But suffice to say: fantastic! Keep up the good work guys!

Yours, bravely as ever,

They are but hunams, friend Spathi. Very intelligent and committed hunams, but mere hunams nonetheless.

oops, quoted the wrong thing...

I meant to quote your little thing about pkunk being down at the KFC.

Yes...we're having them for...dinner. They go nicely with mashed potatoes and a touch of gravy. :o

Did that sound enough like Hannibal Lecter?

I probably should interject here that I am a [shadow=red,left,300]BIG[/shadow] Pkunk fan.

I just love that they can resurect!!

I love it when you drain the crew off of the ship, and it ressurrects them all even though only one died.

Hmm... I never thought of that. That's an intersting mindset you have there Death_999..

It must be like this, the last crew is the leader of the ship, which posseses a power to bring back 7 other pkunk crews including him/her/itself.

But to amaze us even more... what if the crew was 'drained' by the syreen song... how did they come back to the ship?

Hm....

Other Pkunk ancestors coming back from a higher plane of existence, because they feel like being in touch with the realism
of this space again?


Good reasoning. But I sometimes wonder how they bring the ship back as well...seeing as how it was reduced to subatomic particles and spread throughout the sector.

God's will?

"hallelujah"

No, not the Dayglo and Crayon (heh heh)

Or maybe the Hallelujah burst also provides a means for a Pkunk to self-propogate wildly...

*blinks* They have Mycon DNA?!

Actually the hippy birdies probably wildly propagate anyway. They've got to make up the losses to the Ilwrath somehow!

And besides...all that groovy herb they are smokin' frees their inhibitions! *naughty, naughty* ;)
