I recommend the podcast in general but if you want to learn more about what Star Control is, you can listen to the podcast for a great review.
#MYCON STAR CONTROL 2 PC#
UMBcast is a podcast dedicated to Pre-Windows XP PC games. Your comments and critiques are always most welcome as they are my best source for improvement. Note that this is a collaborative project with the very talented Crashsanders. The main pic is "The Captain" with his pivotal Precursor Vessel! CrashSanders has designed this ship to be modular (just like the one in the game) with each section snapping to a core structural piece going down the center. This is a very active project, if you don't see something you like right now, please check again later.
#MYCON STAR CONTROL 2 SERIES#
This concept of a Minifig with a undersized vessel is well presented in Lego's new series of Star Wars planet-ship-figure sets. Everyone has their favorite species and ship so I don't want anyone left out if I can help it. These ships would not be minifig scaled but would instead be conservatively scaled toward the "midi." The concept behind this is to allow for a single set with the maximum number of ships and aliens possible. This is a proposal to create a collection of ships and figures based on the immense variety found within the game. More than a decade after its release the game has continued to accrue accolades (ha, seriously, pun not intended), and now exists with new life having found itself ported to an open source version rechristened "Ur-Quan Masters." You can download it legally and absolutely free here. I and many of my compatriots have spent countless hours seeking out resources and allies in the immense expanse of stars or matching skills against our friends in feverish head-to-head space combat. A great game that combines an epic quest with arcade action. November will mark the 20 year anniversary of the release of Star Control II.
