Here's one way I can envision this happening.

So why in the world did Stardock decide to greatly expand that element, making it even MORE prominent and taking up even more time in the game? How did they ever think this would add up to a game component that people would want to play for several hours -at least- over the course of an entire playthrough?Īnd what makes all these even stranger is that the resource-gathering/lander sections of UQM are pretty universally considered to be its weakest element. Not to mention the Mako-esque vehicle controls, since so many people loved the Mako. In SCO, that's rarely the case and you're often looking at 5+ minute diversions per planet if you're trying to stock up on materials. So why in the world did Stardock decide to greatly expand that element, making it even MORE prominent and taking up even more time in the game? I mean, the one thing you could say in favor of UQM's resource gathering is that at least it went quickly, and you could almost always be done with a planet within a minute, or even less. Except for tedious and annoying fetch quests where you're expected to hunt down one specific element by scanning planet after planet until you locate some.Īnd what makes all these even stranger is that the resource-gathering/lander sections of UQM are pretty universally considered to be its weakest element. but still treat them as categories 90% of the time. The categories were only there to have several tiers of value for the resources being gathered.īut then SCO comes along, and decides that it's going to track each element separately. The individual element names were meaningless. Because in Star Control 2, there was simply no differentiation at all between various elements of a certain 'class.' Like you might suck up orange dots labeled 'Uranium' or 'Plutonium' but they'd just go into one single bucket called 'Radioactives.' Same for the inert metals, the noble gases, and soforth. Yeah, the resource collection was just wonky. /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creesch./r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.
