Star Control 3 - Earthlings

The Earthlings aren't so bad. Just kind of normal all around. Not very interesting, but not bad, necessarily.

I love the blatant infodump for the Captain's backstory and everything. Real subtle, SC3.

"Why are you telling me my own backstory"

"Because you're a forgetful dullard, Captain. Anyway..."

"Oh well, I was going to edit your wikipedia article and I thought I'd run it by you first."

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.

@CommanderHayes LOL that is funny

@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.

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!

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.
