Lost, Irresponsible, and Stupidly Daring

Yes, Deep-Jiffa did iirc, and fOSSiL did too, and I think there was someone else. You can actually finish the game like this since fOSSiL made a few fixes. Pardon me if this is redundant by now, but how is it possible to finish the game?
- Withtout mining, you can't get flagship upgrades, which mean you'll always be at 50 crew and 60 fuel.
- How would you get more fuel? Bio-data and slave trades? (after acquiring ships from other races)
- You could still talk to the Mycon/Arilou/Umgah, which let you (eventually) obtain the Sun Staff; the Bomb could be traded for (or wait for the Korh-Ah to run rampant), the Talking Pet can be optional (I forget if it's a prequisite for the crystal amps), but the crystal amps require the Chmmr to be active?

Flagship upgrades aren't much use anyway (I usually use escort ships for all combat). As you mention, you can get extra crew from other races and sell them as slaves for fuel or gather bio-data and Rainbow World co-ordinates for fuel. In an emergency, you can sell parts of your flagship for fuel, too.

You need the Talking Pet at the end anyway, but that's no problem. None of the stuff you need to get requires you to visit the Earth Starbase. The only real change in UQM is that the Chmmr don't take you back to the Starbase to install the crystal amps (which used to crash the game if you hadn't been to the Starbase).

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

You do start with some thrusters and turning jets, but it's best if you can keep them. I'd head somewhere with life early, so you have credit.
