Editing Star Control (section)

== Star Control ==
The original Star Control (subtitled '''Famous Battles of the Ur-Quan Conflict, Volume IV''') was a simple two-player turn-based strategy game, where you play as either the Alliance of Free Stars or the Ur-Quan Hierarchy in one of nine (15 in the Sega Genesis version) scenarios, building colonies, mines, and attack ships in a trippy-looking star cluster map. Instead of relying on a bland, non-interactive mechanic like unit stacking or random chance for combat, [[Awesome|battles are resolved with a game of ''Spacewar!'']] Each species has a unique ship with its own weapon type, attributes and a unique special ability (like an energy shield for the Yehat Terminator or a crew-stealing "hypnotic field" for the Syreen Penetrator) that can turn a battle on its head when used well. Hit points are [[Fluff|fluffed]] as crew members, as we all know that [[Star Trek|any damage inflicted on a starship is redirected straight to the nearest occupied console.]] You could also skip the strategy layer and play "Melee mode," which is just you, your enemy, and two fleets of ships to slam into each other.
