I'm rather irate at the fact the manual and the official web page mentionned in the manual doesn't say anything about the missing starmap situation at all. If it has to do with the trademarked words "star control II" at the bottom of the map, please say so and think about providing something helpful!

Actually, these aren't spoilers, but likely the information from the first Ur-Quan war. The spheres of influence are heavily outdated, with races from Star Control 1 (e.g. the Androsynth) -Arael
 
 
 
 
 
So you're very frustrated with the time you lost by not having a starmap. We get it. 0.5 will be better. However, the FAQ is not the place to rant about it.
 
I've kept the question and answer, but removed the rant.

The maps and manual linked to on Pages of Now and Forever doesn't exist now, so the link should be fixed or removed. --[[User:70.128.113.136|70.128.113.136]] 12:33, 17 February 2007 (CET)

Revision as of 17:20, 17 April 2007

I spent 17 canadian dollars (time and printing trial-and-error) on slicing the map so it could be printed from an internet cafe and still be readable. This is more than I would have spent on the game, but in each instant I thought it with work with the next print... and the next... and the next...

I failed to acheive that goal due to restrictions on what I could install on the internet cafe computer, and I have abandoned UQM altogether until a reasonnably usable map - preferably spoiler free this time!! - becomes available.

I'm fully aware of the patch to find stars by name, but I couldn't get the game to compile with it in the last few days so I'll wait for UQM version 0.5 to see if it's in.

I'm rather irate at the fact the manual and the official web page mentionned in the manual doesn't say anything about the missing starmap situation at all. If it has to do with the trademarked words "star control II" at the bottom of the map, please say so and think about providing something helpful!
