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)
    • Secondary + Right: Renders ship invisible to homing weapons (both players may, though, see a marker at the Wizard's location)
  • Chenjesu Broodhome
    • Primary: Now is homing
    • Secondary: Now has point defense
  • Chmmr Avatar
    • Special notes: 9 ZapSats defending half of the ship

    • Secondary: Unchanged
  • Earthling Cruiser
    • Primary: Faster MX missile
    • Secondary: Faster point defense, no energy cost
  • Ilwrath Avenger
    • Special notes: Very fast. Especially adept at gravity whips.
