Star Control 2 Complete Walkthru
Designed by Ellis Dee

General Notes:

  • "Mining" implies gathering all life forms and minerals (that meet mission minimums)
    • Be sure to return lander before it gets full. (Whatever doesn't fit is lost when it fills up.)
    • You cannot let your lander be destroyed.
  • You can let virtually all the crew die on any missions.
  • Don't forget to take crew from any acquired ships if running low mid-mission.
  • Don't buy technologies or info from Melnorme unless explicitly stated; "Refuel" means max fuel.
  • Recommended save games:
    • Use slot 0 as "current action", where you save frequently mid-mission.
    • Slots 1 through 8 should be saved at the starbase when finished with that number mission.
  • Ship modules are listed in placement order; place the first module listed in the far back. (left)
  • For the final mission, feel free to change your combat group around. I'm much better with Spathi than Utwig, so this walk-through is designed to keep the Spathi option open. If you have success with the Druuge against the Sa-Matra, you can sell them the Portal Spawner for 3 more ships, totalling 4, but this requires a little tinkering with mission 8. My own personal preference is 4 Pkunk, 4 Spathi, and 1 Druuge, leaving 3 slots open, but that's just me.
  • This walk-through is a tribute to how much I enjoy the game; it hits all aspects of the game, even if they aren't strictly necessary in order to win it.

Firstly, the generators, they  are not DOGIs. And how do you destroy them with a Druuge? Interesting...

A Shofixti is good for killing the Sa-Matra defenses (not the generators, but they're still not called DOGIs.)

Concerning energy regeneration for a Warship... You should have 3 Dynamos and 6 Shiva Furnaces (Point-Defense is not very useful, you can replace it. And you don't need two fuel tanks once you get the Portal Spawner.) Try it. It generates a lot more energy than just plain Furnaces.

I used to take nothing but one fuel tank and the rest, crew pods. Is usually enough, even if you don't destroy the defenders you can to bounce there, with some luck.
