Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters
- Don't bother going to planets with temperature above 400, weather above 4 or tectonics above 4. Don't even go to a planet with a combination of any two or more that's near that limit. The more crew you lose the higher the cost to replace them.
- As far resource gathering, don't bother with anything that gives you less than 4 RUs.
- Upgrade your mothership's turning first. It makes navigation a billion times easier and even if you don't upgrade the speed you can at least escape from enemies chasing you because you don't turn like a tractor trailer.
- Finally, as soon as you reactivate the Earth space station fly to Pluto.
