Well, while there WERE brown Ur-Quan, there aren't anymore... perhaps this was a forced change of plot due to budget restrictions?

Fot or not?

Speaking of beta screenshots, does anyone know what version of SC2 this screenshot is from? I spotted this in an article about classic games in the Finnish computer magazine Mikrobitti (January 2000 issue, give or take a few months).
My guess is that SC2 mutated somewhat during development (the expression "expanded like a blowfish with water retention" appears in a text file in the PC version), and a lot of reviewers got sent weird preview versions or something. That could account for the brown Ur-Quan as well.

I am hard-pressed to figure out what state of affairs would lead to that screenshot. It was probably a mock-up. Consider that -your ship has NO MODULES yet 312 fuel. -there is an indecipherable scribble where we'd expect the crew to be. - the year is 2192 or 2102 or 2109... none of which are near the dates of the game (and some of which predate the first Ur-Quan war) -you are saying that the presence of the Ilwrath is an act of war ¿on the part of the Syreen?... On the whole, it looks like someone was having fun writing this one up... and it was not arrived at in the course of a game.

OMG, that's not the Alliance of Free Stars, that's the Sentient Milieu!
Ok, so maybe those pictures of the Yuli or Yuptar look amazingly like the Syreen, and actually "Syreen" and "Druuge" were codenames for different Milieu races... and maybe they had a different system of keeping track of years... and...

The marketing team probably got the box and all the marketing material ready way before the game was finished,

Another difference is the reply under the highlighted one -
Would you consider an alliance with Earth and Melnrome forces against the Druuge?
maybe Fred Ford and Paul Reiche were considering different story lines? or they just didn't get the proper budget for the whole thing...

Yet you continue to do so, if you do not stop I will have to resort to cleansing you by *dancing*.
