Urquan update to Gold?

Has anyone made on update for the Urquan race to Gold yet? They were cool in SEIV.

Until someone does, you can "roll your own" with the instructions linked in my sig.

Uh... I didn't know there as an original Ur-Quan for SE IV? Where can it be obtained?

Universal shipyards, if i'm not mistaken. (edit: just checked it, it's at Universal Shipyards, and it should be gold compatible)it didn't have an Urquan speech file if I remember correctly, but one copied from another race. an Urquan speech file would be great though:

'You will now die human! make whatever rituals are nessecairy for your species.'

What, pray tell, is an "Ur-Quan"?

quote from a star-control 2 site (taken from the manual I guess):

Quote:

Physically, the Ur-Quan resemble the predatory caterpillar native to Earth's Hawaiian Islands, only grown to over ten meters in length. The Ur-Quan equivalent of a face is rich in sensory organs, and its expressions are varied and horrific. Aboard ship, these creatures cling to webbed ceilings with their back legs, dangling down over their controls and their slave-crew like hungry spiders.

Anyhow if you've never played star control 2, then go find a copy and play it now, it's IMHO the best game ever, (yes seIV comes second on my Favorites list...) Ten years old but with very decent graphics sound etc.
