Achievements - Some old some new, some borrowed, some...blue?
Published on Friday, December 4, 2015 By
Okay, so one of my favorite things that have come onto the gaming scene in the years since Star Control is the Achievement system. I feel like it could only be beneficial to integrate this into Star Control, but fun ones, not just "hue hue hue, you're playin' the vidja game!" achievements like "Take a Step" or "Fire a Gun". At one point in the past few years, just as a way to rib on each other, my friends and I came up with some achievements for SC2 that I'd like to use as examples of fun ones. Obviously a lot of these are SC2-specific, but they should convey the general idea.
Eleven Free Stars - Complete the Campaign with at least 11 liberated races.
One Man Navy - Destroy 25 Thraddash Torches with a single ship.
I Might Have Trouble If There Was One More - Destroy 25 Thraddash Torches with only your captain aboard your flagship with no escorts.
What? It Would Have Happened Eventually - Cause the Ilwrath and the Thraddash to nuke each other into the stone age.
Omnichromatic - Discover the locations of each of the Rainbow Worlds.
It's Bigger On The Inside - Map the exits of every Quasispace Portal.
Here Goes Nothing - Spend your last 10 units of fuel to escape from 10 or more hostile fleets using the portal spawner.
Camel Of The Cosmos - Complete the campaign without visiting the Starbase at Earth before beginning the assault on the Sa-Matra. (Yes, this one is totally possible, but incredibly difficult. Takes immense patience and perseverance.)
What do you guys think?
