Thats half the fun  ok more like 1/8th the fun, but its always fun to find a planet that is just loaded  . also try those dangerous ones with lighting, fire, earthquaks and those green dots that move around!
BUT IF YOU ARE SO LAME AS TO CHEAT YOUR WAY THROUGH THE GAME
then you can download the save game editor for .1 it still works for .2 at PONAF, but while your at it you might as well print out the walk through and follow it exactly, and turn your cyborg to expert. Oh dont forget to get the maps that tell you where everything is.
see I beat the game TWICE before even trying the editor.
editor is at
http://www.fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?/classicgaming/starcontrol/urquanmasters/uqm_editor_v0.1.zip
you have to put the editor in the directory of the save games.
that directory is a hidden file for XP and is int the documumentsadnsetting/"user"/aplicationdata/uqm/savegame
thats if my memory is correct.

Ignore the almost fanatical love of resource collecting of the response and utterly freakish generalizations about you. This editor tool is really nice. Pump yourself up with LOTS of RUs. If you want to travel quicker, give yourself some turning jets and boosters (Easier bought ingame.), but this imbalances your main ship, so be fair and try not to use your flag ship for battle.
Of course, you'll still have to head to planets to get bio units. But, that's fair.

You know, you get resources for destroying enemy ships (although not enough to rely on it completely until late in the game). Actually, I find mining kinda fun anyway. You don't have to do it THAT much if you just hit the valuable planets (becoming familiar with the value of each color helps).

If you mine enough to buy a Spathi ship, you can hunt VUX or Slylandro for cash, but Spathi Fu is almost more boring than mining.

My typical response to this one is that if mining is getting boring to you you don't know the game that well enough.
Seek to improve upon your game and learn it. There's ways to get lots of RU really quickly and it's not cheating...when I play anymore I finish with my ship all tricked out, a few escorts, and 70K RU to spare in the spring of 2157...
In fact, those things have been talked about...you might read back and you'll find out many of those ways to make RU...
To use a Star Trekism....think like a Ferrengi....profit profit profit.

Enjoy! - with access to Melnorme Trade Credits from the Rainbow Worlds, it is easy enough to skip to all the best tech, and economise on RU spending. Plus, with an uber-flagship with Fusion Blasters and Shiva Furnaces, you don't have to build so many damn ships all the time - even if you only use your flagship as a last resort.
Personally, I always try to get the Portal Spawner ASAP - that will save on fuel and time immediately.
Cheers,
Vol.

RU collecting is but one of the greatest thing about the game. Finding valuable planets, risking the lander on dangerous rich worlds & scanning.
Upgrading the lander
Too bad part 3 don't have that ability. In fact part 3 took away lots of fun.
Getting RUs out of nothing but just wait, is totally boring.
