argh, i didnt put my email and it erased my message which was lovingly crafted. heres the crappily crafted version:
whats the deal, the kor-ah are going around killing everyone and i dont know how to stop them and none of the walkthroughs say anything about this, and whats the point of the game if you cant save all of the aliens from being wiped out. this is why i quit the game 10 years ago when i first played it, and maybe the internet can save me now...

There's sort of a time limit, when you reach it, Kohr-Ah starts their 'cleansing'.
Although there's a few advantages, such as certain guarded items being made available, it's probably better if you just complete the game faster. It's quite easy once you know what to to.
Of course you have to replay the game from the start again.

i see that as a flaw of the game that you cant do it right until you screw up and have to start the game over. theres just no way you can mine to get up enough power to do all this stuff on time unless you know what youre supposed to do beforehand. playing the game over is the same as using a walkthrough: you know whats going to happen.
but its amazing for their first adventure game, too bad they blew nailing it in starcontrol 3... i think its because the new graphics made it lose all of its charm...

I beat SC2 without any race dying on my first try back when I got it on the 3DO. 
It's quite possible to do. I actually didn't know about the cleansing til the second time. I never even saw what happens when they reach Sol til only a couple months ago. lol

yeah there were a few key things that i didnt know about ie. being able to sell fuel, ships, and escape from battles... maybe hayes mentioned some of that stuff but sometimes people would just go on and on and i would just skip it...
after everquest theres no point in getting imersed in a finite plotline...
i made most of my $ from killing probes, just let them come right at me and blast them with my flagship, they circle me and i finish them with my side cannons. i never used a back cannon or a laser defense. i noticed that the ur-quan were smart enough not to send their fighter pods when i had them and i could get them in a line and take them out with my side cannons, mmm hmm hmm. i never used any other ship in fact, theyre all too damn useless, i was really annoyed that you never make an alliance with any useful ships until you have an uber flagship and the game isnt a challenge.
i didnt like to mine cause i thought it was just too damn boring and tedious... maybe time went too fast cause i spent most of it in hyperspace waiting to be ambushed by probes...

Actually as far as mining goes, if you get good at the game, the mining shouldn't take very long at all if you choose to do it. Â I know with how I'm playing the game anymore, I probably hit 2 or 3 planets total to fulfill my RU needs for the whole game (and know many more to really stockpile the RU). Â In fact, I really concentrate on getting RU while being reasonably fast, I can usually finish (meaning get to the Chmmr bomb part of the game with a maxed out death star flagship & formidable fleet) with around 100K RU left over.
So if mining is such an annoyance, maybe you need to look at how you're approaching the game. Â Usually if you remember profit as a major motive (you can LOSE RU in mining some systems), then the mining thing gets a lot easier.
Well, if you hate mining I have a couple of suggestions for you:

. This will show you how to salvage your game, if you are interested in doing so. Be warned that this is not as fun as figuring everything out yourself, but doing so would require you to backtrack (load an old savegame) to buy time.
