- Hi,
-
- first of all, let me say that this game blows the pants off of BOTH
- Wing Commander Games and StarFlight 2. It beats Wing Commander on the "get you
- involved/movie game" genre as it has much better music and graphics, both of
- which get you really involved. It beats StarFlight 2 on Space Exploration via
- better graphics, more interesting aliens, more realistic (or at least detailed)
- planets, and on combat and action.

- But praise aside, I need some help. I met the Melnorme Trader ship at
- Alpha Centauri before I had an ample supply of lifeforms. In other words, I
- didn't have enough credits to buy ANYTHING. Now I have plenty, and he/she/it is
- no longer there. Where else do you find them? Are they on a schedule?
- Also, where is the Slylandro Probe's planet? If this is an integral
- part of the solution of the game, then don't tell me. If they are just a minor
- nuissance that needs to be taken care of, and not part of the major plot, than
- please DO tell me. Their attacks are annoying the hell out of me.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Scott.

- P.S. And YES Wing Commander can be compared to Star Con II on the basis of the
- "movie" factor. Wing II's music SUCKED and the graphics were ok. The music in
- Star Control is incredible! As is the sound effects and the graphics. IMHO,
- Origin needs to get their act together.
