Star Control Discussion Board

I miss it too palmpet! :( Perhaps one morning you'll wake up and suddenly have an overwhelming compulsion to draw something and then you'll inevitably say to yourself, "What's the point in being grown-up if you can't be childish sometimes?" Where have I heard that before? Hmmmm... Anyways,...

Oh, I think I know what Buschflip is talking about!

Hey Tormuse! I've noticed that you've mentioned some planet-side observations, such as the weird names assigned to robots like "Turret_Critter_Sentry" or similar-looking names, plus you've encountered some heavy stun resistant animals that take like a hundred shots to take down as you watc...

Thanks Tormuse! I'll give it a try!
