Star Control II FAQ
by Marlin Liew
Version 1 11/27/94
Note: This is a very preliminary version of the FAQ.
Introduction
The object of Star Control is to free the human species from
the control of the Ur-Quan. It is basically a Role Playing
Game, but not the general sword fighting, walk around, talk
to people type RPG. You are Captian Zelnick, and you fly
around in your futuristic ship to accomplish your goal. You
are to recruit allies for your mission, and attempt to
overthrow the Ur-Quan's control over your and your allies'
homeworlds.
What is Star Control II?
Star Control II is the sequel to Star Control (Duh) that was released for
the Genesis by Ballistic. I have never played Star Control, so
I can't say what it's like, but I can say that it wasn't very popular.
Tips and Strategy
Star Control II is a complicated game, and there are many factors
that you have to worry about while playing. Unlike the typical
RPG where all you have to worry about is getting killed, there
are lots of theing that you have to worry about in this game.
The first thing you probably will have to worry about is enemies.
At the beginning of the game, your ship is so puny and weak, that
almost any confrontation with hostile enemies is fatal. So it becomes
critical that you save before you can be attacked by enemies.
But, pretty soon when you are all powered up, you won't really
have to worry about enemies. You'll probably enjoy them actually
becuase they give you RU's.
Problems
This is probably the section of the FAQ that is the most useful.
There are many problems that you will encounter, and I will
take you through most of the major ones.
How do I get the Radioactives to power up the spacestation?
Go to Mercury and get all the minerals. You should have some.
How do I get my ship more powerful?
Your need to get RU by getting minerals. In the back of the
instruction manual, it will tell you the best planets to get
minerals.
How do I get to the far planets when I don't have enough gas?
You probably should get the Portal Spawner, since it is so
helpful (See Portal Spawner)
Portal Spawner
The Portal Spawner is a device that allows you to go into a
space parallel to Hyperspace called Quasispace. From there,
you can go into various portals that take you to different
places in Hyperspace.
To get the Portal Spawner, visit the Arilou at Hyperspace
coordinantes 43.8 : 637.2 between the 17th to 20th of each
month. During that period of time, there will be a green
star at the coordinantes that when you highlight it will
say unknown. Go into the portal, and you will be in
Quasispace.
