Once you find the HFS in our solar system.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Talk to the spathi once you have made peace with them, seriously one of the tips they will pretty much throw at you off hand is possibly one of the most important non required missions in the game.

Kcwong it should be fine for you to read the spoiler its mainly for people who haven't played the game at all.

Spoiler: You mean... (click to show/hide)

the hyperwave caster, that the Umagh has been influencing the Ilwrath by impersonating to be their gods?

I've already helped them against the Evil Ones (I acutally believed them that the Evil Ones are something very dangerous *doh*), but they haven't retreated into their slave shield yet (caught this spoiler accidentally earlier).

[Jreengus]

Nope that wasn't the one I meant. The following tip is spoilered because it may be giving away too much I'm not sure. Put simply it should identify exactly which comment is important but it doesn't replicate the exact information provided by that comment in game. So you'll still have to hear the comment in game but if you read it you'll know it's important.

Aaanyhow without getting myself a headache from how experience ruining this might prove to be (or not to be)

They will mention a weird star that only appears at certain times.

Oh yeah I noticed that. But that's before I realized I can press SPACE and review the conversation... I was trying to write down the important bits as they speak (Umagh and other races' whereabouts), and missed that one.

Edit:
I have a little success at super melee training. I can kill a Marauder with Eluder now, though having two Eluders would be safer than just one. I kept moving left and right to avoid the blades, and pumping out lots of BUTT. Strangely the AI never uses FRIED to defend against the BUTTs...

Spoiler: And about the Spathi quest... (click to show/hide)

Am I right to guess that the Evil Ones are ZEX's lost/unwanted collection?

[Sergius]

Thats the point. Its a race against time. Unless you spoiler yourself, your gonna lose races.

The first time I played it, the only time I played it all the way thru, I didn't have problems keeping up with the race-saving stuff. I don't think spoilers were invented back then *g*... anyway, it's quite possible to win this game without a cheat sheet in your other hand. I pretty much did 99% of the miniquests. Although I did finish the game in the nick of time, right when you-know-what started happening.

@Kcwong: I don't know if its ever revealed what the Evil Ones are, but it might have been a Joke.

Also, Ships in super melee behave diferently then ships in story mode. In super melee, the spathi ship isn't that great against computers above the lowest level, but it absolutely DEVESTATES in campaign mode.

[Areyar]

@kcwong: yes. you are wrong.
the Evil Ones are just another Umgah joke, those ETs love clams and such.

Anyone have some cheats for this game? When i searched their forum all i found was reply's to their posts by angry, fat. fucktarded people.

I think a list of rainbow worlds, and a list of mineral/bio data rich worlds is all the power you will ever need.

My current game benefits hugely from my last game's knowledge. I know exactly where to go... greatly reduce wasted time and fuel looking for places to mine and hunt.

I mean i literally cant even get past the first melee.

The hint is go to Pluto first... it's a tiny purple dot on the upper left of the Sol system. There's a much better ship (at this stage of the game) there waiting for you. Once you get the ship, use the Roaster menu and transfer people from your flagship to it.

This ship is fast and nimble... you can dance around the first enemy ship, keeping just out of reach and fire the secondary weapon which is a homing missile.

Also, remember to save before returning radioactive minerals to the starbase. So you can try again if the battle starts with you spawned in a disadvantaged position.

[Megaman]

I think he means the one with ilwrath

[kcwong]

I think he means the one with ilwrath

Yes, I know. It's the first battle x2yzh9's talking about. You can go to Pluto first for a new ship before fighting it.

It's possible to kill it with flag ship too with a little practice.

Or you just charge it (if flagship is spawned in the correct direction), and fire repeatedly once it's in your range of fire. If you don't miss, you can kill it faster than it can kill you.

[Manchild]

or you can do what i do and run around in giant circles screaming. "AH DONT LET THE SUPER GOOD SPIDER HURT ME!!!! ITS TOO GOOD TO GAZE UPON!!!!", while blasting away at it as fast as you can....

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Man, I love the pkunk description of the Ilwrath. its just so funny.... So good that the only place more good to go would be pure evil....lol.....

[beorn080]

Actually, if you don't spawn horrible in the battle, the cruiser can wipe out that ship in two quick shots. Pretty much the only fight the cruiser is worth something in story mode. A quick turn to face it, and fire off two missiles.
