I liked the DakTakLakPak better when I couldn't understand them. At least they weren't so damned arrogant! I wanted to blow them to bits every time they treated me like a lab experiment. :P
It would be fascinating to see a fight between the SCII and SCIII races. Well, the good part is they retained four of the best characters from SCII in SCIII, namely the Chmrr, the Spathi, the Arilou, and the Utwig. Those 4 are battlefield gods in SCII. Pretty sure they are in SCIII as well. Utwig is even safer to use without the melnorme or the Androsynth to deal with. I am a Melee mode nerd, by the way. I know Androsynth aren't actually in SCII story mode and melnorme are not hostile.
The DakTakLakPak have the one decent theme song in the entire game. I get the feeling that if they had actually put it to good instrumentation and made it audible, it would actually be pretty good.
When the Daks ask to give your appellation I always responded with "Appellation? You mean my name?" because then they'd refer to you as "appellation-you-mean-my-name" until corrected. First time I did that was when I started to suspect that maybe they weren't all that bright.
I think the Daktaklakpak were great as villains. Everything they said was just so intensely condescending, and they had great puppets. Even their name is cool, because it sounds like a string of broken code.
I have always wanted to make a non profit show about Star Control. I attempted once years ago with a bit of success. It was 95% computer generated. I used the old AMIGA machines (lightwave) to generate the 3D models...
Maybe one day I'll give a whack at it again wiht my much updated technology...
Oh yeah. This was the game that killed an otherwise incredible franchise after Star Control 2. A perfect lesson showing why change for the sake of change isn't smart game design.
Oh yes... SCIII was very short, had this tiny little map, the Crux where feeble foes, most of the lines from SCIII where just recycled from SCII. And though the K'tang amused me, most of the new races where boring.
Plus the ICOM's pretty much an ingame walkthrough and then there's that damned 'ethics council'
Chmmr of star control 2: made sense
Chmmr of Star control 3: pathetic awful peice of new age looking crap
Daktaklakpak: awful,simply awful
Hk-47: beats the crap out of daktaklakpak, does what he does, but better.
"Plea: Master, please may i blast the puny meat-sack apart, oh how I have wanted to do it so"
Revan: "No HK-47, not now."
HK-47: "Be thankful this time, meatsack"

I would probably have opened fire as soon as it said DakTakLakPak WAS the shortened form.

Conclusion: If human females would speak 100% like Daktaklakpak, human males would understand.
Process: Taking cover. Computing...

How did you get the voices to work on DOSbox? I had the original disc, and it was a cool game.
DarkestFreedom01 2 years ago
You have to mount the Cd-drive with the CD in it in DOSbox before running the game, then it should play with the voices.

Still the best new race in SC3 though.

You need Star Control 3 first. That one that was released was just a money maker for accolade, not from Toys for Bob, nor was it from Reiche
