Elvish Pillager's Crazy Mod

This page is a stub. We encourage you to edit and improve it.

Eli Dupree, Elvish Pillager on the UQM forums, created an extensive mod of The Ur-Quan Masters that changes all Super Melee ships and even some of its rules. The most recent version of the mod can be found here.

Gameplay

Rule changes

• 14 planets at once instead of just one (half of the arena is covered with them, the other half is empty). They are destructible, having 42 hit points.
• 10 asteroids that sometimes home randomly in one of the players, annoying him (they don't home in the AI player).
• 30 ships per team instead of just 14.
• Destroyed ships keep inertia while exploding.

Ship changes

• Androsynth Guardian
  • Primary: Dual white laser, medium range, 1 damage, fast energy consumption
  • Secondary: Blazer mode, can be stopped at will
• Arilou Wizard (former Skiff)
  • Special notes: Now has inertia
  • Primary + Up: Confusion ray (like the Melnorme Trader one)
  • Primary + Left: Fireball (explodes at impact or range limit, transforming into an explosion of lines that deal damage at impact)
  • Primary + Right: Magic missile (projectile that aims in the general direction of the enemy and deals 2 damage)
  • Secondary + Up: Safe teleport (may end up in the path of a projectile, though)
  • Secondary + Left: Summon Demon (a wall of fire is launched from the Wizard; it replicates up to a certain point. Contact does not deal damage, but stops ships and destroys homing weapons)
