Star Control II Hints
I'm back at the starbase. What should I do next?
1 of 10: First of all, you should talk to the commander.
2 of 10: Try the bottom two options first.
3 of 10: You've saved the game recently, haven't you?
4 of 10: oh ----!; pr-p-r- f-r c-mb-t!
5 of 10: The Ilwrath can't cloak, and the ship isn't up to full crew complement, so it should be relatively easy.
6 of 10: Use the Earthling; it's a better ship for now.
7 of 10: Shoot towards the Ilwrath, turn around, and get going fast.
8 of 10: When your batteries have recharged, face it, and shoot twice more.
9 of 10: Turn back around and run away from it.
10 of 10: Repeat the process until the Ilwrath dies.
