Quite recently, myself and the other philosopher kings in #UQM-Arena started hollaring at each other (which we do often, thank you) over what each of the Star Control ships should truly cost to provide a fair and even playing field for every last one of them. A consensus was eventually reached on the matter, and shortly afterward Elvish Pillager did his hacker thing and made this.
Update: The latest build will say they are still 1.0.2 because EP is a klutz.
1.0.3 source code
1.0.3 Windows build
Here are the lovely new prices:
- 06 - Shofixti
- 06 - Zoq-Fot-Pik
- 06 - Umgah
- 08 - Ilwrath
- 10 - Supox
- 12 - Earthling
- 12 - VUX
- 12 - Spathi
- 14 - Arilou
- 14 - Syreen
- 14 - Pkunk
- 14 - Mycon
- 16 - Yehat
- 18 - Slylandro
- 18 - Ur-Quan
- 20 - Druuge
- 20 - Melnorme
- 20 - Androsynth
- 22 - Mmrnmhrm
- 22 - Orz
- 22 - Chenjesu
- 22 - Utwig
- 26 - Chmmr
- 30 - Kohr-Ah
- 200 - Thraddash
These prices are designed with veteran net melee players in mind. Casual players are better off sticking with the Star Control default values for the most part. Be assured that we know a lot more about these ships than you ever will and that any correction you try suggest to us will be laughed at before its immediate dismissal. However, we ourselves may decide something is rotten and change the prices accordingly at a later date.
The following players think this price list sure is swell:
- Elvish Pillager
- Shiver
- Starfire
- Captain Bob
- SquisherX
- Galactic

2-3 of the ship scores (Supox was one of them I remember) are based upon things YOU suggested, but if you don't want credit for that I can pretend I thought them up.

Two or three ships being based off of things I said at one point, out of twenty-five ships, is hardly a glorious accomplishment.
Especially since the overall plan for the modification conflicts with my personal view of the situation.

How fun! It's a good start
I would guess that kohr-ah, Ur-Quan, chenjesu, Thraddash, supox, Umgah and spathi are undervalued
And that Androsynth is overvalued (slightly).
I'd be concerned that everyone will choose spathi and thraddash.Aafter duking it out with Amiga_Nut last night i realise remembered how awful those ships are to play agaisnt - especially if you only have an hour at your disposal...
I would also consider making the total points up to as close to the original (436?) as possible. That way the dynamics of a 200 point fleet don't change too much. Also consider the relative value of the andro is now more than perhaps you anticipated - considering that you devalued most of the others.
Looking forward to playing with a Windows mod and proving myself wrong though. At last i get to use a 'quan!

The Pillow Fight newbie tournaments are going to be played with vanilla UQM always. Cedric may or may not run a tournament with the re-price mod. I don't know, you'd have to ask him.
