WTFH?!!! The Cruiser wasn't made as an exploration vessel! It's the Humans' greatest military achievement, armed to the teeth with nuclear warheads and containing an advanced (for humans) laser defense system! In fact, canon sources clearly indicate that the Chenjesu were surprised by the battle potential of the Human ships. The only reason they're not super-powerful is the Humans aren't very advanced.
Seriously, I can't believe how badly Accolade butchered the story of Star Control here!
@onpon4 Well according to Ultracomnicon wiki, that is the case. Cruiser was designed before Ur Quan slave War, and retrofitted to fire ColdWar "surplus" nuclear missiles and SDI "Star Wars" laser systems.
And indeed Cruiser turned out to be decent ship, just think what kind of battleship humans could have created if given more time. Possibly result would be cross-breed of Battlestar and Enterprise.
@EMike07 apparently he went into a coma when the super utwig bomb kaboomed the sumatra an woke up in Effing Wizard of Oz.....woke up with I forgot how cool SC2 was disease....o an the boom killed universal hyperspace....via the wonderland vorpal sword....... an the SC3 writers went we we we all the way home
I actually liked this guy that voices over for the humans. I think he did a good job. I also liked this music track the most.

Having the microphone shadow cover the mouth helps him look a lot less creepy as a puppet. Too bad they didn't do that for the Syreen.

I remember playing the original. All the audio files were on CD, so the game constantly stuttered.

Fuuck, falls right into that valley thing, what was it called...
Bottomline: drawings are way more sympathetic than creep-ass dolls.
