Almost done with the game. Keep up the good work. Oh yeah, did you take the opportunity to screw over the Druuge one last time? You can probably nab one more egg case from the Mycon, refit your ship with nothing but empty Hi-Eff fuel tanks, and trade an egg case for fuel. Crash their economy before you take on the Sa-Matra. It may take awhile to empty up to 1000+ fuel (a good 20,000+ RU's worth (like hauling 800 Exotic minerals in one go)); but their reaction is well worth it; not to mention punishing them properly for the crap they've done throughout the game's canon.

Huh. I didn't know that. Ah well, way too late now I suppose.

Also, two more videos. We are so firmly in the endgame I can practically taste the Sa-Matra...

Also, completely unrelated to the above statement, how many historical items does Greenish have? Less then eight, I hope.

Reading through my notes, I counted:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Item = Total value
13 Tech upgrades
=
13*150Cr = 1950 Cr

8 Current Events, 16 Alien Information, 9 History pieces (mostly about the Ur-Quan Plight against the Dnyarii; the full story, basically)
=
(8+16+9)*75Cr = (33)*75Cr = 2475 Cr (600Cr + 1200Cr + 675Cr)

Total  Catalog Cost:
1950 Cr + 2475 Cr = 4425 Cr, or discovering 9 Rainbow Worlds (4500 Cr in value) will clean him out. But if you already know all the backstory, and are replaying the game and speed-running it, then you just need to discover 4 Rainbow Worlds (2000 Cr's worth) to clean him out tech-wise. Provided you know how to find all 10 worlds, then this renders the game extremely trivial by 2nd year, or even the 1st year if you know what to do on the spot.

Oh yeah, and about them Rainbow Worlds, I stumbled across a very simple trick to find them all with minimal effort, and a few clues. I'll spoil it after you beat the game, or by request; whatever.

9 History pieces

FFFFFFFFFF-

Hopefully the rainbow worlds are in a line or something, else I'm going to have to make a bonus video. Eh, both options are acceptable. And yes, I have played some more. However would you guess that?

[Itnetlolor]

I'm a bit surprised you didn't raid the Mycon space while they were distracted similarly to the Thraddash. There were more than 1 world that was treated like a homeworld. Like the Thraddash, why didn't you investigate them? There could be some good candy on the surface (more eggs, tons of radioactives, maybe another quest item...).

Are you talking about Beta Brahe? Because I kinda realized that as I was recording the commentary... Whoops.

Also: I have no clue how I found this. It contains Zelnick, Talana and Zex singing some kind of Mario-themed song. Also fanservice, if you're into that kind of thing. It amuses me.

[GlyphGryph]

Hah, yeah, I've seen that before. Zeria really loves Star Control 2. I love her Stamp on the Ground vid too, with all the SC2/UQM characters in it. (catchy song too)

Huh, that's a pretty neat video t-

THE PROCESS IS INCOMPLETE

*Ahem*

Yeah. Got the sun device from the Mycon, met up with the Syreen one last time, and freed the Chmmr. Now that all the plot threads are finished, the only thing left to do is find the Sa-Matra and end things. Well, it's either that or a victory lap to see how everybody is doing, but I could always do that as a bonus video or something (along with the rest of the history stuff).

So, anything I should know before tackling the Precursor Battle Platform? Or am I just going into it blind for your own amusement? The latter rather then the former, I imagine.

[GlyphGryph]

Looking forward to the last episode!

Also, I'd go with crew over fuel. I mean, it's not like you're taking the ship back home, right? Better to be sure all your ships are fully crewed when you arrive.

And the Supox Blade sucks. Avatar is awesome.

I'll give you a very vague hint: There are fireballs of ____

[USEC_OFFICER]

I'll give you a very vague hint: There are fireballs of ____

Answer? Fireballs of PAIN. Horrible burny pain.

And yes, I have done it! The Sa-Matra is destroyed! The Ur-Quan Masters are defeated! Peace has returned to the galaxy at large!

...

...

...

Now what?

[GlyphGryph]

Vittry! Vittry!

And now... Star Control 3?

[USEC_OFFICER]

Vittry! Vittry!

And now... Star Control 3?

Yes, Star Control 3. I bet you subscribed just for it, didn't you?

Debating whether to make a new thread or continue on with this one. Video/recording seems to work fine, but either way I'm going to have to find some pictures for the races/ships... I'll figure things out.

[Aklyon]

I actually was thinking of 'Fireballs of DOOM!', but PAIN also works

And you should probably make a new thread for it. Star Control 3 is its own thing, really.

Alright. Done. No videos to show off yet, but I'll see what I can do about that.

[Itnetlolor]

Wanna find out where all of the rainbow worlds are? Hunt them down for the hell of it?

EDIT:
Post-combat tip:
After neutralizing the Sa-Matra's defense grid, you can destroy the fireballs and bouncing boogers and they will not come back, permitting a safe passage for the Vindicator.

Now you tell me...

And I wouldn't mind learning where the rainbow worlds are, even though I don't exactly feel like hunting them down right now. Still would be nice to know though.
