So admit it...

Any time I talk to friends about SC2, it's all about the RPG aspects and nothing about combat.

IMO, the combat was/is clunky and horrifying. I leave it on auto and never touch it after that.

I was an extremely hardcore SuperMelee player.  Every once in a while I wish that a well-developed online one-on-one combat remake would appear, but I feel like I'm in the minority; Any time I talk to friends about SC2, it's all about the RPG aspects and nothing about combat.

Does anyone other than me *really* like SuperMelee?

I'm a big time SC2 fan - it's one of my all-time favorite games, but sadly forgotten these days.  It's not set up on this site, but I use an Orz as my avatar on other sites.   [Edit: added it here now as well]

I never played Ur Quan Masters, though - I thought it wasn't finished, and the effort had died.  Is it actually done?

I loved the SuperMelee combat.  My friend and I used to have some great battles side by side on the same keyboard playing Star Control and Star Control 2.  My favorite ships:
Androsnyth Guardian
Orz Nemesis
Spathi Eluder
Thraddash Torch

as for the story and such, yeah you can play through to the end and all, its 'finished'.

[Entrenched Homperson]

Hehe, I thought the combat was pretty fun

My favorite ships where:

Human Cruiser (Extremely Underated ^^)
Thraddash Torch
Arilou Skiff
Spathi Eluder

I've had UQM on my Android for quite a bit. Been playing it on and off. It's certainly very fun and well made.

I always seemd to like the mhrmrmrmhmmhmmm ship thing. The spelling might be a tad off though.
I never was incredibly good with it mind, i just liked it :p

Did Star Control 2 have the same storyline as Urquan Masters? Or was Urquan literally SCII - 2?

The source code for the 3DO version was released under GPL so it's a direct copy of the original just updated to run on modern systems. They had to name it something else because Star Control is a trademark but other than that it's no different.

Will have to look for that Android version myself.

I loved supermelee myself almost as much as the 'main' SC2 game.

As for ships, I tried to make them all work, but I loved the Spathi Eluder, Zoq-Fot-Pik Stinger, Kohr-Ah Maruader, and the Orz Nemesis the most.

Don't forget to *Enjoy the sauce*

I can't believe I left the Pkunk off that list. That ship made the Cyborg so mad  You can take down Chmmr with that

I checked out the game, and it was pretty awesome, reminds me of overlord on the NES.

I honestly like the human cruiser, of course that's the only ship I'm able to build......

Its slow in the biginning, before you start finding one by one the 25 alien races lol

[HellishFiend]

I guess I'm in the minority of people that never played SC2 but really enjoyed SC3. Something about SC3 really clicked with me. Maybe it was the only-half-serious politics storylines between the races, or the planet/fleet development, or the mystery solving, but I really got into it and have played through it several times.

SC1 was one of my all time favorite early DOS games, but I did not have the hardware to play SC2 when it came out, so I never got around to playing it.

[Entrenched Homperson]

You should try it, there is a serious difference from what I hear. Again, I havent played SC3, maybe Ill download it and give it a shot. As far as I know the storyline is all Non Canon as far as fans go and wotnot. Toys for Bob said if they ever made another game it would be a sequel to SCII not SCIII.

Ironically enough, I just bought that game for my NES a few weeks ago.

Lol nice!
