Star Control protip: The Spaathi ship owns and you'll not be able to get them later so don't lose it.

Juffo-Wup fills in my fibers and I grow turgid. Violent action ensues.

Also if you like Star Control 2 don't forget to play Starflight, its p much the same thing but as I said earlier emulate the Mega Drive/Genesis version

that dont make no sense, either way you need to keep track of all the information you get

i dont want big dumb arrows showing me where to go, just a tab with things like "so-and-so told me thing is at this coords"

It's called a pen, scrub.

it adds to the mystery instead of the game literally having a soundbyte that plays saying "updated your star log" which basically says "hey there's a loving secret here hope you don't accidentally skip over it *wink wink*"

this guy gets it. either the game logs entire conversations which means you'll have to sift through them every time to find the important bits (might aswell write them down instead), or it only records the important bits where part of the game is figuring out what they are. also the game is designed in a way that you're supposed to use what you know from previous playthroughs in later playthroughs, you're not supposed to complete it first go.

maybe i should be figuring the names of stars by comparing the ingame map with an irl starchart, that would sure add to the mystery. what if we had to actually translate the alien languages on paper, wouldnt that be something

star control 2 is a game that trusts the player to decide what is important, perhaps you would enjoy it more if you got an adult to help. i bet you're still only allowed to use round ended scissors.

guess what fucker? if you'd have written poo poo down in the first place you wouldn't have to do things all over again just to get the info, you lazy fucker bitch baby

I found some friends named the Zok-Foq-Pik and they have requested my help, but I myself am in need of help. That's where you guys come in: I have very little fuel left and not enough to make it back to the station near Earth.

I have multiple saves, but don't really want to backtrack unless I really, really, have to. Is there a way to create fuel somehow?

If you run out of fuel a Melnorme (the orange info brokers) will come along and either sell or give you some but you might have to sell some ship modules.
