Скачать или смотреть Star Control II - Androsynth Hit and Run Squadron (Super Melee)

”When I was flying combat missions along the Coreward Front there was nothing we feared more than the Androsynth Hit-And-Run Squadron.” — Commander Hayes

This video shows what an Androsynth raid on an Alliance of Free Stars fleet would look like, as made via Super Melee mode in Star Control II/The Ur-Quan Masters. While classic Star Controlʼs lore doesnʼt mention that Androsynth ships were a big threat to anyone other than Earthling vessels, I have included ships of all seven races of the original Alliance of Free Stars. Two Shofixti Scouts, two Mmrnmhrm X-Form fighters, a Syreen Penetrator, an Arilou Skiff, a Yehat Terminator and a Chenjesu Broodhome supplement the six Earthling Cruisers. I am piloting a group of six Androsynth Guardians.

I consider myself a novice and somewhat clumsy Star Control pilot — as a matter of fact, I have lost three of my Guardians by colliding with planets! This is not my first attempt to do such a battle, and I have an earlier recording (not published at the moment) where I have only won by luck — the last Guardian (out of eight) has destroyed a Cruiser at the risk of myself being finally defeated by the enemy’s point defense laser. I am also surprised how I managed to deal with the Yehat fighter, which has previously claimed two of my Guardians.

This video has been recorded on Arch Linux using OBS Studio 24.0.5, x264 build r2991 and The Ur-Quan Masters version 0.7.0. I didn’t install any addons (including 3DO music) by that moment.
