The Ur-Quan Masters Re-Release / General UQM Discussion / Re: UQM Ship Scales: Question for Paul and/or Fred

For Mormont , Re: Kohr-Ah crew... let me think a sec... (reads what other people have written about this)... okay, my favorite alternative (and I reserve the right to change this in GotP) is that the Kohr-Ah have a 'treatment' applied to any sentient non-Ur-Quan entering their ships -- kind of like a de-lousing spray applied directly to the brain which removes enough higher mental functions to drop the being to a non-sentient-but-still-useful state.
That is (would be?) a major development. It's the first sign of Kohr-Ah taking any slaves other than their talking pets, and brings up many more questions. Are the Kohr-Ah performing mass abductions on worlds they've defeated shortly before scouring them, or is there some other procedure they follow? Are there still Burvixese alive aboard some of their Marauders, given that the Burvix homeworld was the last place they cleansed? Do the Kohr-Ah put much effort into breeding, training, and replacing slaves or are they perpetually grabbing new ones? I'd understand if you wanted to keep these questions unanswered for now.

What languages do you code in?
! Ah well, why not. I'm not a programmer by trade. I've only done small amounts of game modding and one high school programming course. So the answer would be "C", because I tortured out how to change UQM. After UQM got online multiplayer working, there was a small competitive scene for super melee. The more people played, the more apparent imbalances with the SC2 ships became apparent under scrutiny. I had all sorts of ideas for what might get melee to be more fair, so one day I just went for it and started trying to edit the game. It was a painful process for a while, but eventually it shaped up.

Got any proof for this baseless accusation out of fucking nowhere?
I know of only one guy who does it on purpose in the Founder community and he's quite a bit annoying in general to work with. Hardly constitutes, "a lot". I took an untenable position, so we really don't need to pursue this further. WOW! is this not the most pedantic argument in Forum history?
Can we get this discussion B.O.T. or will that acronym offend a robot some place? SHEESH! Sure, post on-topic if you want. Can't say I feel bad for derailing this thread.

FaP is easier to type on a phone without digging up the ampersand.
In English, it's traditional when you list things to go from syllable order (which isn't involved in the mono-syllabled Fred and Paul) and then alphabetical. Like Dogar and Kazon, it should be Fred and Paul.
You have an issue with the English language, that's on you. I'll continue to write FaP or F&P depending on what I'm typing on.
It's like you're calling them the slang term for... ah, nevermind. I can see you don't mean any harm with it.

Uh, first, welcome to the forum, Shiver.
Second, Death 999 is the global moderator of this forum. Perhaps before insulting him you might want to learn more about the community here.
Pfft, ha ha ha ha ha I'm old as dirt around here. This account is a re-reg. I've even traded messages with you on PoNaF a little under the same name. And if Death takes offense, I'm sure he'll have no trouble managing me one way or another.

You know you're reading something from a Stardock cultist when they call the creators of Star Control "FaP". D999, would you be willing to start editing that heinous crap out? I know it's heavy-handed but when I open the "Team" page of the Ur-Quan Masters website it says,
We worship these two higher beings for making the original, legendary game: Fred Ford Paul Reiche III
I don't think it's too much to ask that forum-goers not slur their names around here.
