Well I'm actually following a walkthrough for the game...
I noticed on the map that the Orz area was gone. I flew out to seew hy, tried landing ont heir homeworld and then i go to a chat scene with me and the bad aliens (forget the name), and him syaing we wiped out everything int his part of space including your base around Earth...Then goes tot he title screen.
Eh....What happened here?

Yes, there's a time limit. Looks like you found it.

Why are you following the walkthrough? About 90% of the fun in this game is obtained by solving mysteries and exploring, not "go there, say that" etc..
(Also, for God's sake, turn speech off when you meet a certain race of humanoids with purple outfits. The voice is horrendously bad and completely unfit for their actual nature.)

Also, if you just follow a walkthrough, you'll miss a lot--because there are only a few conversations you actually have to do, to trigger game events--so you won't get a lot of the actual story and explanations behind things.

I dont see how I could have taken too long by following a walkthrough though..
Unless i left the game running on my computer overnight while i slept..I MAY have done that.

Hyperspace. That walkthrough told you not to sit around in hyperspace but you did that anyway, didn't you?

I think "to Valaggar" needs a third meaning, or at least an extension of the scope of the second beyond enthusiasm.
Personally, I'd save turning voice off for some of the fishier aliens (I actually preferred the voice in SC3 for them). See "The Orz voice" thread.

Scum? I don't think so. "Master" is more like it.

SPOILER ALERT FOR NEWBIES! Alright, Yes, there is a time limit. If you don't get the Utwig, supox, and Thraddash to attack the Kohr-Ah fleet, then you have until precisely Febuary 14, 2159 to destroy the Sa-Matra. If you don't, the Sa-Matra disappears (at least, that's what happened when it happened to me), and the Koh-Ah start slaughtering every race they encounter until they reach the Starbase at Earth, ultimately ending the game. It usually takes about 2 weeks to 2 months for the Death March to finish. There's really nothing you can do once it's started though. No matter how many Kohr-Ah you defeat, it will still wipe out everything. Alive. Everything alive, I mean.

Well, actually once it's started you can still win. But you'll be under time pressure and a few races will probably be wiped out, so it's a Pyrric victory.
