Thanks Zeep-Eeep, I guess I was misinterpreting what turns out to be coincidental timing, as this was done quite late in the game.

Howdy Folks,

As far as I am aware, this wasnt/isnt under discussion anywhere else that I could find in the forum or referenced FAQ, and I believe I'm posting it in the right spot.

I have a question about Methodology concerning dealings with the Druuge in game terms.  Many moons ago when I originally played this on the PC (back in the DOS6/Win3.1 days), the conclusion of this was in my utter refusal to trade anything with the Druuge, especially my crew, which (as anyone whos played the game can guess), caused a small problem with the progression of the game.  My resolution at the time, given what you find out about the past actions of the Druuge and eventually having the Burvixese HyperWave Caster on hand was to use the BHC while in the Druuge home system, drawing the Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah who would eventually turn up and wipe them out (An irony I found most amusing at the time).   You could then scavenge the necessary oddiment from their destroyed homeworld after waiting a while, although you would have to fight a few Kohr-Ah ships still in orbit to do so.

Now, I'm playing through the UQM port, and this particular strategy doesnt seem to bring about the desired effect anymore, leaving you with some pretty poor choices, although choices none the less.  I mean, its been a while since I played, and I guess my question is, "Is this strategy still viable?", since the UQM is based on different code from the PC version I originally played and perhaps this option no longer exists ?


A big thanks goes out for anyone who has any answers for this one, JD.
