For everyone out there who has a profile on facebook, whether you check it compulsively like some of us or only once in a long while, join the group for fans of star control! The group is "Star Control II: The Urquan-Masters"

By using facebook we can invite our friends to the group, they can see that a fair amount of people enjoy this classic game, may become interested, and might even download and play it if they never have before. I think it is a great way for people who otherwise wouldn't be interested to discover the game: seeing a friend join a group often sparks interest.

Well, if I am a battle thrall race surrendering, the last thing I would want is for it to lead to my race's eventual extinction. This rules out the Orz, since they apparently completely destroyed the Androsynth. If my race were destined to be destroyed, however, I would at least like to be remembered. Again, surrender to the Orz would be horrible since they wont even talk about it afterwards. The Pkunk on the other hand are very verbose, and more likely to talk about the battle thrall race that surrendered to them. The Yehat also keep detailed histories their monarchs and wars, and so its also likely that if the Pkunk are part of the Yehat then my race's surrender will be recorded, and we will be remembered for the honor with which we fought. Its also much less likely with the Pkunk that my race will destroyed. Most likely we would become part of the Alliance after surrender to the Pkunk.

My close second would be the Humans. I doubt they would be as forgiving as the Pkunk.
