Mining

I just started playing the Ur-Quan masters... and well I'm stuck... I keep trying ot mine worlds but only like one or two in both ALpha Centuari and Sol seem even remotly liveable through, almost all the worlds have nonstop flames and earthquakes... is this supposed to be or am I just unlucky and crappy at driving a lander. Any hints on choosing good worlds would be appreciated. Thanks

Scanning a planet gives you information about techtonics, temperature, etc. The PC version actually had text, but in this version it's only icons. They're pretty easy to figure out, though.
Later in the game, you'll be able to land on more worlds.

Ah, but when you find that ruby world orbiting a supergiant, it makes it all worth while - the one planet that I'll always clear even before I've got the tech to go on hot worlds.
If you're looking for easy planets though, most treasure worlds have no atomosphere and tetonics of only 1 or 2, and there are a whole slew of them in Orz space.
Metal and shattered worlds are also very nice, but tend to either be too hot, or have evil tetonics (especially the shattered worlds).

Try to visit one or two of the rainbow worlds ASAP in the game. Use the credits to buy as much tech as possible from the Melnorme and life will be a lot easier when mining.

Agreed - in fact, I have been playing a game in which I keep a log of everything I've been doing, as if I were actually the captain. On long voyages, I have to worry about keeping the crew from dying of boredom... and when we're in Alpha Centauri I have to worry about keeping them from dying. When I kept sustaining losses, the morale issue was serious. I always justify my decisions as to where to fly. Of course, using the advice that Hayes gives you about rich planets and stars really helps justify going to the best systems since they are in clusters of highly attractive stars.
I only stopped because version 0.2 was too unstable on my system 
btw -- Kohr-Ah Primat -- how does it feel to be the only declared female around? I guess if you're here you're used to it by now.

Yeah, well your Kohr-Ah pic is squished. It's possible that you did that intentionally to show that it was a female Kohr-Ah with an eating disorder that caused it to be skinnier and therefore more attractive to male Kohr-Ahs, but something tells me that's not the case.

I think I'm gonna try and ignore what you said... perhaps you weren't trying to be offensive, but to me you came off that way... *shrugs* That's why I'm ignoring it.
I don't think it's a big deal that there's a new female member at the boards. What I mean is that it's great to meet you and see you're really contributing to these boards, K-P, but your gender to me isn't a big deal. I think it's great to know that at least there's one girl out there who likes SC2 just as much as us guys, but other than that it's nothing out of the ordinary. I guess there are a few more guy geeks out there than girls, but I've met lots of girls on forums like these. Still, it's gotta be pretty cool to be one of the few here. You have a monopoly.  You've already contributed a great deal to this forum, K-P, and I hope you continue to do so in the future!

Yes, I was thinking of taking an existing Kohr-Ah screenshot and modifying it with Photoshop or something similar to match the dimensions they ask for, but ever since I moved, I've only Windows Paint to work with, and this version doesn't seem to save files in jpg or gif form. I suppose I could've downloaded some program or other, but I am too lazy to do so. And yes, it did cross my mind once or twice that the Kohr-Ah looked a bit anorexic, but it wasn't an intentional decision on my part.

Thank you for the welcome and your compliments, Omni. I don't know about it being 'cool' or anything of the sort; like you said, it's not a big deal. As for contributing to the forum, that's what we're all here for, right? But I do thank you again for the compliment.

We are the Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah.
Our nature, the fulfillment of our fate requires your destruction.
You are filth. It is now your time to be cleansed.
