yeah, that's a freaking huge lens. Better to just make your black collector larger, until you get to the part where it needs to be hotter, then use a mirror to increase the amount of sun on the end part. mirrors cheaper than lenses.

For anyone confused, jumping back 40 pages is about right to have a reminder about the pad's origin.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense.

I wonder if this is going to be a Loroi dirty secret.

Krulle, was that you?

Starting a new topic on the subject would be best. If it's this topic, say it here. If it isn't, do you mind if I delete your comment from here?

Liiike, what the drone says to you when you approach Earth?

Or what they say when you come across them in their own territory and you haven't used THE WORDS?

simply cut it out instead of rehiring the voce actor…

I don't think Fred COULD fire Paul, who, IIRC, was the Mycon voice.

If so, it was just studio access.

The riddle was all but impossible for her I am afraid.  She simply had no way of knowing or finding out about the beast.
I didnt want to give that map since it has spoilers. Tho it would not of have helped much. She went to constellations like "hyades" and the ones near the Yehat since IRL those are snakes.

It's the worst puzzle in the game IMHO. Hard to figure out.
Actually no the Mycon's one might be the worst.

Which part of it? It was pretty much fine in the original because you were told where Syra and their homeworld were..

For some reason, they didn't consider that worth including in the 3DO versions.

For the beast, ZEX gives you the hint that the constellation is something like "a snake that has swallowed the beast." And that the name is close to "Linch-nas-ploh." This is easier to follow if you have a starmap which shows the constellation shapes and connections, which was included on paper the original game.

you can also toggle the starmap between 3 modes, one of which shows constellations. F7, I think it is?

Compliance is holding up, it seems.

Why are there gun modules in the middle of the ship?

For some reason this reminds me of Mardek. Space ship crashes, kid explores it, mind-merges with an alien, goes on adventures

Good! That really disrupted their matchups vs Thraddash and Mycon.

If many reproduced artifically with each other rather than involving men, there could still be a population imbalance.
