Well I'm only beggining to play and the Yehat sound nice with that accent heh

Eh I know this is an OLD thread but; hell its realavent to me at least. I love to Zoq-Fot-Pik and the Spathi; they're funny as hell.
 

In fact all the races are pretty funny; I don't quite like the Thradesh though for some reason.

If only people practiced what they preached eh?

Old topic; but yeah I always wondered wtf Frungy was....  I bet it's something like tic tac toe :p

UQM is a (almost perfectly) faithful reproduction of Star Control 2.  As such, you won't see "new

That sucks;  It would be nice if there were two 'campaign' sections though. "SC2" and "Fan-based" so we could tell the difference.

It wouldn't be all that horrible for some good people to develop the story further even though the main developers are not able to.

I suppose I just see a good story and figure "heh I wish there was more"; so yeah I sure do hope a SC3 with a niiice story to go along with it [hopefully a very long but not-boring story ]

Damn looks like a nice game I think I'll buy a NEW pc to run it

If You mean the Pettittion thing; sure did.

There should be interesting stuff on gas giants like.... random secret hidden 'fuel' depos where you'd pay like 10x the normal RU needed for Fuel.

Would make the game more interesting.

I found the game on www.download.com at first and searched for the official site via Google.

I havnt played SC 1 or 2 at all I just found this game and like it even though it appears to still require  more work on it

The big problem with this is; it's annoying. What say you; if I WANT to survey a gas giant? I mean ... I used to be able to ... which is the biggest thing that puzzles me x.x perhaps its a version thing? because in .4 I could ; and suddenly I wasn't able to and then i installed .5.....

and then reformated my pc due to other reasons

and couldn't in .5 once again.

To put what Culture20 said into more direct form: You cannot land on a Gas Giant and you don't need to at any point in the game anyway.

Oh really? That's not what the Starbase commander says at one point of the game; declaring that there's possibly a Heiarchy spy at uranus.

Now...

How about I get some intelligent replies please?

I didn't ask for a smartass remark; just trying to figure out whats wrong and get it fixed. "hover" "Fly in the atmosphere" or whatever the term is; technicality regaurding the term "land" using the "planet-lander" is not the kind of answer I'm looking for.

If you know how to fix the issue or have an idea be my guest; please do respond... but smartass comments are not something I want All I want to do is try the damned game without using the saved games from

http://dickweed.0nyx.com/index.html

I play

I can't land / do anything on the gas giants I need some help but not sure if this is a bug or a settings error or what not so it's why I'm not bothering with bugzilla or so on.

Help would be appreciated.

I'm new to these forums and the game and I've got to honestly say I enjoy the game; reading the wikipedia and the forums. I have no real history with Star Control 1,2 or whatever the heck is out there; but I'm sure a fan of this game now

I'd love to see more campaigns available and ship selection/customization allong the way; I'm not sure when this game project was started but I definately look forward to the developments of this game with or without another Star Control game as noted from the "Petittion" on the main page 'ere.

Keep up the good work folks Graphics/Sound are pretty good room for improvement definately; but it looks like its on the right path!
