It's been a while since I played, but as I recall, I would build a second Scout as soon as I could and got them building mines so I could get a bigger ship as soon as possible. Beyond that, I mostly hoped I would get lucky.The Troglodyte wrote:Wow! That sounds like a tall order for the poor Scout!! In this scenario, what was your overall strategy? Would you build a second Scout when you could afford one, or save up for something else? I'm sure I'd probably go for a Cruiser.Tormuse wrote:Yeah, I remember having a lot of fun with the scenario edittor back in the day.I think, at one point, I tried to challenge myself by giving the AI opponent a fleet of Hierarchy ships and giving myself just a Shofixti scout, Starbase, and no money, so I would have to build up my mines, colonies, and forces completely from scratch.



And on a completely unrelated note, I happened to visit my parents' place today and saw something on a bookshelf that made me think of you, Troglodyte...
...Er... at this point, I was going to post a picture I took of the original Star Control box along with the Dr. Zorg code wheel and instruction manual, but I keep getting a message saying, "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached" so you'll have to take my word for it that the pictures exist.
