If you ever played that classic of computer games, you need to click on this link and send an email off right now. If you don't do it, Jesus will hate you.

Hehehe... I've signed the petition back in 2002 :wink: (although was it another website? IIRC I got the link from the Pages of Now and Forever).

Anyway, I just wonder: what ship you relied on to destroy Sa-Matra shield generator? There's one occassion when I used Yehat ships, but the rest of it I used the brute force approach of Chmmr. My brother Surya, however, was more patient and used Pkunk.

And yes, Ace. Star Control 2 is an old game that beats anything offered by new games *wears the flameproof vest*

I used the Pkunk because of their resurrection ability. That's pretty nifty.

The Yehat ships were good, but kept on dying from that homing flameball missile. It doesn't matter how long the shields are on, it will tear right through eventually.

The Shofixti might work. If you can dodge the bad shit long enough, get close and turn the 'glory device' on. You can take out a few shield generators. God I love the Shofixti. They're like a cross between Samurai and Rabbits.

Then you're patient, like my brother. :razz:

Yup, but I was quite good on Yehat back then. Of course, most of the time I used the brute force of Chmmr Avatars; leaving a single Spathi on my slot (it was always Captain Fwiffo) to take the Ur-Quan / Kohr-Ah ships guarding Sa-Matra.

Whoa, I've never thought a Shofixti could take more than one shield generator. I mean, the generators are quite spaced apart so I never thought of using Shofixti.

However, one day I took down all the generators with some Zoq-Fot-Piq ships. The "tongue" weapon is great! Not to mention Zoq-Fot is the best against Kohr-Ah Marauder.

Anyway, Chris, I went to that one TFB link, but it didn't give me any clue about where to find the petition.

However, here's another link to the petition, from the Pages of Now and Forever.
