Oh, and also how likely it is that your lander will be destroyed. Once in orbit, you can see if the planet has minerals to mine, biological specimens to collect, or energy signatures (plot elements). Plus, each ship has a point-value, so players can declare a limit to fleet strength before the start of the game as well. Some of the match-ups are one-sided, but because most ships cannot repair themselves, even damaging a more powerful opponent as the underdog can allow you to finish them off with your next ship. It plays a bit like competitive asteroids… on steroids. The variance in the ship match-ups makes this mode quite fun. Some ships can even benefit from doing a “slingshot” maneuver by flying close to the planet, thus gaining considerable speed from the planet itself, often with more velocity than the ship’s engines can muster. In the “center” of the arena is a planet with a minor gravity well, causing nearby ships to fall toward it quickly. Combat takes place in a wrapping 2D plane with a backdrop of stars and the occasional asteroid to disrupt ships’ momentum. This continues until one player has lost all of their ships, at which point the match is over.

The loser of the battle then chooses the next ship to send into combat. You choose a ship and the enemy chooses and you go at it, firing off nuclear missiles, spinning blades, super-heated plasma and so forth until someone explodes. Once you choose your fleet, you battle the enemy’s fleet one ship at a time. The Mycon ship has gained speed from a planetary slingshot, and can now put its long-range weapons to use against the powerful Chmmr Avatar. Let’s start by examining the Super-Melee mode. The game is broken down into two parts: the Super-Melee, where the players choose a fleet of ships and tests his or her mettle against another human or against the computer and the adventure mode, in which the player mines minerals, commissions new ships, and interacts with over a dozen alien species in an attempt to overthrow the evil Ur-Quan masters. Star Control 2 is an adventure/action/role-playing game developed by Toys for Bob and published by Accolade.

This version is a blend of components from the original PC game, additions made in the 1994 3DO port (such as spoken dialog), and enhancements from the open source community at SourceForge.

This version, renamed The Ur-Quan Masters for trademark reasons, was created from the source code released in August 2002 by developer Toys for Bob.

The copy of the game that I played for this review is not the original version that I played way back in 1992.
