The heralds are supposed to be able to cloak. Playing on easy? ;)

DANG, YA GOT ME

i dont think you have much of a right to say how boring, slow, or annoying the fighting is in this game when u dont even fight. first of all i can mop the floor with an upgraded doog ship with almost any ship, they arent rigged. skiffs are rigged, but that is because their speed is too fast for any shot fired to land a single hit

[ZarlaSheenaza]

You are severely overestimating how much I care about this game or its melee.

[endestew]

So you played the game on 'easy' mode (I can tell because otherwise the herald ships would be cloaking) and then you complain because it's anti-climatic? If the heralds were cloaking your doog constructor's auto-canon wouldn't be able to lock on.

Just yet another cry baby picking on sc3 because they think it's the cool thing to do. Not the best game, but not the worst.  sc2 fans were always going to be hard to please.

I wasn't aware there was a difficulty setting? I put it on cyborg because melee was incredibly obnoxious and slow and I hated doing it, so I wanted it over with as quickly as possible. See: Exquivan ships, may they die in a fire.

HyperMelee = Super Melee + Bumper Cars

IT'S ALL SO CLEAR NOW!! :O

@Spiderwire7777 I don't believe that Star Control 3 killed the series because something I found out recently. There was suppose to be a Star Control 4, but it was cancelled and the gameplay was different from SC, SC2 and SC3. It's interesting to check it out though some SC fans didn't like it.

TOYS FOR BOB should be working on part 4 for Starcon. Starcon 3 should be a bad dream that never happened. This was my favorite game. The big business killed it. Wouldn't a Starcon universe be great as an MMO?

[accention]

Wait the precursors who created the sa-matra lost to these guys?are you serious?this series makes so very little sense?

Also: SPOILER | | | Heralds: "And they disappeared beyond the stars, eternal and immortal. But not all of the first ones have gone away." (~9:24 in the video) Delenn (again in "In the Shadow of Z'Ha'Dum"): "Some passed beyond the stars, never to return." and "Not all of the First Ones have gone away." | | | END SPOILER

[Zelnick1732]

Did anyone notice the Babylon 5 reference/line stealing?

Heralds: "They stride across the stars like giants [...] They were old when the Precursors were young." (~8:49 in the video)

Delenn (in "In the Shadow of Z'Ha'Dum"): "Once, long ago, they walked among the stars like giants." and "The Shadows were old when even the ancients were young."

Doogs can never win a Herald ship rofl.

[Sephlock]

Well at least that little intro bit was okay...

[Soulsphere001]

The Doog Constructor is severely unbalanced.

[SkarmoryThePG]

Weird. I recall SC3 not having a top-down view, showing off the fighting ships in a prettier way...

[ChrisAlgoo]

The ten or so seconds of METAL only make the disappointment later more complete.
