Well, at the risk of solving the problem instead of arguing with everyone. If you want to see the ending go here: http://www.classicgaming.com/starcontrol/files/sc2.shtml

I wasn't trying to put pressure on anyone. Everyone  involved has done a fantastic job and I for one am extremly grateful just to play this game again. Which was pretty much why I was asking if anyone knew a do-it-yourself method. Didn't want to be the guy who is whining about the game not being perfect, when clearly everyone is working hard. NOI

The pages of now and forever has the intro and ending movies downloadable. Is the game set up so if we take the time to download them and put them in a certain spot, they will play at the appropriate times?

Personaly I am big fan of the Saibuster Hyperspace remix. I turned that up very loud and shared it with the neighborhood.    Since someone brought up the whole *smell* controller, I'll ask... What do various titles mean anyway?  And can I get Marsupial Matchmaker?  Don't forget to enjoy the *sauce*!

Same here, I usualy sell the weapon you start with for fuel, go hit the closest rainbow world with that fuel. Than from there on in I can pay for fuel w/cr instead of RU. Plus Rainbow Worlds have a ton of radioactives, and usualy the system itself will ahve some good minerals. So I mine those for more RU. And I just keep an eye out when in "event" systems. ALthough I am thinking about mapping the entire game just for the heck of it. Delta Tauri has 3 calm saphire worlds in it if that helps anyone.

Since I know where everything is, I tend to just buy all the tech from the Melnorme using rainbow world income, ignore the info they sell, and then use lifeform data for fuel. That way I can use RU for crew, ships, & modules.
