Landings, Critters and Drones in Star Control StarControl Forums

Since I updated to the latest build available on GOG.com, planetary landings are just a chore. I used to get around the stupid terrain by just holding the jump button and moon bouncing all around. Mostly alleviating the difficulty of navigating the nonsensical terrain. Now that I can't hold the button down, it's just...tedious. And it seems that about 1 in 5 critters (and drones) are crazy OP, like 10x the hits or more. Was that on purpose? It's just irrita

I didn't know that. I'd've sworn I read that many of the patches break old saves. So, if I update, what is the fix? Can somebody give me more people? Can I land with less than a full lander crew? Does it introduce the bug Inferno83 mentioned which provides crew with crew pods? I didn't see a fix for this in the change logs, but I might have missed it. Can somebody tell me if updating is going to affect this issue? (and confirm that updating will not

I'm glad to see these bug fixes, but I guess that really did make us beta testers didn't it? That's reeeeally disappointing, 'cause I've fallen victim to bug after bug, and I think my game is in a broken state, and the only solution I seem to have is to upgrade and start all over. I really wish I had waited for several months instead of pre-ordering. Maybe even waited for a sale? You guys really should have told us that's what you were doing. Auwe!

Okay, I tried the trick with crew pods, but crew pods come empty. I cannot buy or switch to my existing crew pods to get more crew. Also, this is turning out to be a game breaking situation, since I can't land on planets to continue any other "quest" I'm on. I'm basically stuck. Stardock, Am I completely stuck?

Sorry, I was trying to be cagey and not spill too much. Apparently I wasn't at all clear. I can't get new crew at Earth's starbase 'cause I'm infected with the Plinthi virus, but I can't cure it without collecting Superfluids. I don't know how to get those without planetary landings. I'll try swapping my crew pods after work today and see what happens. I'll get back to you. Thanks!

I seem to be completely stuck and can't figure out how to proceed. Spoilers abound, of course. I have got to a point where I've met the Plinthi and I need to rid myself of them, but I need to collect something for the Tywom in order to do this. I can't collect anything more, since my ship population is now 3, and I can't send any more landers down. This un-winnable situation seems...cheap. Is there a way I can increase my population while I've got billions and billio
