Does anyone have any interesting ways to play the game?
I've done "be the bad guy" and "bounty hunter." I've tried not visiting the starbase, but I'm not quite good enough at melee against the probes to pull it off (mainly I have a problem with running into the planet  ).
Any other ideas?

Speed run doesn't sound fun to me either, although I might do it sometime.
The other two are great suggestions, but I've done them already. Flagship only is obviously easy once you get the upgrades, escorts only is different since you get to deck out the flagship with all crew pods (except a fuel tank obviously). A fleet of Orz and/or Utwig backed by lots of crew pods can do alot of damage. Of course, since you can avoid almost any fights you want to, that makes it easy also.

Hard mode- Use only Earthling fleets, and don't gain any help from Fwiffo nor any other aissists (unless obligated through storyline). No Lander upgrades allowed, or to be used (keep to original behavior as if the upgrades never existed).
This can also be an idea for modding. Decide what to upgrade, Tech for lander is cheaper than ship upgrades, etc.
Also nicknamed masochist mode.

I did a thread on this once but now I'm too lazy to link it here. To be honest, Star Control 2 doesn't provide too much of a different experience when you force new rules upon yourself. The only variant people should really try is 'no flagship in combat' because the escorts are way more fun. I'm hoping Nicholai finishes his singleplayer mod someday soon.

For most of us, I suspect, it wouldn't make a scrap of difference what language it was in as we all know where everything is anyway and what they say.
Maybe I'll try the escorts only thing, but I just know the story too well that I struggle to squeeze any more enjoyment out of that drained carcass of a game.
When is that dude gonna finish that mod thing? I might disappear for a year and reappear to discover that a playable fan-made adaption actually exists (sorry too lazy and incompetent to actually do this myself).
Have a good weekend everyone!

The greatest problem with doing it yourself also is, that you know all the stuff beforehand too and therefore get less fun out of it, as when someone else had done it.
