Star Control Discussion Board

I loved the mods in SC1. You could make some seriously busted ships with them. A VUX with decent thrust and turning is pretty nasty, but a Yehat with a couple dynamo upgrades was just unbeatable.

Interesting. I'm fine to back a game but don't think I'd ever invest. Seems chancy. In the long interim before Phoenix Point's arrival, I am playing the Final Modpack for the original UFO: Enemy Unknown. It really adds a lot of cool shit to the base game.
