    The Precursor remixes can be hit and miss, but this tune is so hit I think I have brain damage.

    The Supox and Utwig play a very underrated role I think. The only thing in the game that could possibly delay the Ur-Quan/Kohr-Ah for AN ENTIRE YEAR is the upgraded Flagship, and not even then does it delay them thanks to game mechanics. Buy the Supox and Utwig a drink next time you are at Earth's Starbase, because they helped you out a whole lot.

      Yeah, what the Supox and Utwig did is absolutely huge, and the guys who owe them the biggest favor are the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za.
      The Kzer-Za are actually the heroes of UQM, while you're mucking about getting your coalition together they're sacrificing themselves by the thousand at Crateris trying to slow the Kohr-ah down. The biggest favor anyone did the galaxy was the Utwig and Supox helping the Kzer-Za in their desperate delaying action.

      @@hagamapama Technically, they also are the reason we deal with the Kohr-Ah since they gave them mercy after initially blitzing them with the Sa-Matra since the Kzer-Za had this little thought that perhaps the Kohr-Ah were maybe right and would have this current Doctrinal War occur later instead of wiping them out entirely.

      @@PurpleNecromancer-10 I'm not going to blame individuals alive today for something that happened 10,000 years ago. The Kzer-Za that live bled and died in the hundreds of thousands to create the time the human captain used bumbling around looking for enough shiny things to rub together to make Sa-Matra blow up.
      Also while the Kzer-Za probably did not consent to the destruction of Sa-Matra, the fact that that destruction took the neo-Dnyarri with it was probably a sacrifice they'd be willing to pay. Even the Kohr-Ah would say that if it cost Sa-Matra to prevent the return of the Dnyarri, so be it.
      They would, I think, recognize that their failure to destroy the Dnyarri long ago, before the great schism, had nearly doomed the galaxy to the very fate they thought they'd solved together all those centuries ago, and that's enough to make even an Ur-Quan Korh-Ah Deathlord sit and think for a minute. What else had they been wrong about all this time?

    Despite the bad reputation of the Supox ships, they are actually surprisingly good. If you know how to use it, both the Kohr-Ah and Ur-Quan ships are quite easy targets. Works great against most things relying on speed and dodge, too, courtesy to the high rate of fire.

      That may be a difficult foe, but it is not impossible. Naturally, all ships have weaknesses.

      +shieldphaser Multiple buttons hold doesn't work on my keyboard and I can't handle Supox properly but a friend of mine did a nice job before years. Here... if you haven't watched it: ruclips.net/video/nnJ_Eb-8Pu8/видео.html He also defeated CHMMR with Spathi which I still can't do! It depends of the pilot. The awesome cyborg is stupid with almost all starships but as we know the awesome cyborg is very tough with Pkunk, Slylandro and Arilou... doing things which are impossible for human pilot to do!

      Yes, I have seen that one before. The Chmmr can be defeated with a Spathi, no doubt. I have done it once myself, but I next-to-never have the patience so for the most part I just suicide the thing instead.
      We are fortunate that they did not keep the original Arilou AI around, though. The secondary ability's programming was essentially "if this ship will be hit next frame, then teleport". Naturally, this made it next to immortal, and if they had not added the mechanic that the Skiff would 'die' when appearing in another object, that ship would have been undefeatable. So yeah, it could have been a lot worse.

    • @UBCForce

      I agree with you about the patience haha I can't defeat CHMMR with Spathi but I also never tried it more than 2 times as far as I remember cause I really hate battles that goes for hours. Awesome cyborg is weak with Arilou against lasers like CHMMR (without the hornet's circle), VUX or MMRNMHRM! Once I defeated 3 Arilou ships with VUX. The VUX's laser hits Arilou multiple times before teleportation. Because it hits instantly... but every other slow moving weapon like flying - shrapnel or Ur-Quan weapon or any flying type of weapon is almost useless against Arilou. And yet I don't know why Utwig's weapon fire is very useful against Arilou... memories only - cause I haven't tried recently :)

    Well, if its underrated it's due to their proximity to earth. They're not seen until later on in the game, much like the Druuge.
    I've always liked the Supox ships too though they get a bad rep

    I keep forgetting that the Supox exist. They're kind of a weaker version of the Druuge.

      "They're kind of a weaker version of the Druuge."
      Not at all. The Supox and Druuge aren't similar.
      The Supox are the plant-based race who often learns from other cultures and are friendly, also they're deeply connected with the Utwig.
      The Druuge are a race of pig humanoids with no feelings of empathy and under the rule of a single slave-trading Corporation.
      Maybe you're thinking of the Melnorme? They are similar to the Druuge because they are traders too, but don't engage in slave trading and aren't sociopaths.
