I had often wondered if our Pkunk bretheren were correct in that 'They are right and we are wrong.' It appears they might've been, of course, I did my best to keep them from being destroyed so I haven't seen any alternatives but I'm glad to hear that even if you don't attempt to draw them away from their own seeming demise with clever, witty and ultimately silly reasons for them to not visit the Yehat... uh, where was I? Oh yes, it's nice to know that even if you don't save their lives with tales of swollen moons andsoforth, that they still live. Perhaps I should allow them to reach the Yehat but in my games, I never have the heart for it. The idea of Pkunk being blown away by their avianic cousins the Yehat bothers me almost as much as the destruction of the entire Zoq-Fot-Pik race did.
These of course are all reasons to be glad that Star Control 2 is a game and I'm able to reset the Universe at the touch of a button, or I never would've forgiven the Kohr-Ah for not waiting around long enough for me to turn up and deliver a sizable can of whup-ass to their ships.
But this is all besides the point, it's nice to hear. Maybe I shall try that sometime.

That gets me thinking. They should program it in so that you get zero reinforcements if the Pkunk haven't joined the Yehat by the time you attack the Sa-Matra.

The yehat/pkunk will not come if you haven't started the civil war. There's some other tests (SPHERE_TRACKING and FEASIBIILITY_STUDY) which I don't understand so I don't know if they're sanity checks or if there's any other conditions where you won't get the pkunk.

i remember the first time they stated moving. i went down found out what they were doing and sent them back...whew!
went on my merry way and...what the hell!...there at it again. i went into a mad panic trying to save them. had i known back then that it didnt matter... id let them just fly the coop. looking back now i find it quit amussing id spend so much time trying to save an imaginary race. what power this game holds to the imagination. behold the power of chee...ah, Star Control.

The first time I encoutered Tanaka/Katana, I heroically destroyed him. Now I feel bad that I have been that stupid 10 years ago.

I figured it out right away, but I don't know how. Only problem was that after I got in a fighting mode with the first one he hit a freak asteroid and was sent slaming into the planet. I found his brother and after warping out twice THE SAME THING HAPPENED! It was kinda frusturating. I that part of the shofixti task was to throw your ship in between the planet and his ship. I thought that for the longest time.

Yep, his brother appears a little while after you kill him to give you a "second chance". His brother ONLY appears if you kil him.
