12/2/2023 0 Comments Space quest 5 planet coordinatesI order Droole to lay in a course and we are prompted to enter coordinates.ĭidn’t we have the same thing in Space Quest IV? We are assigned our first mission, to pick up garbage at Gangularis, Peeyu, and Kiz Urazgubi. How do we leave Spacedock? That seems easy enough: I ask Flo to “Hail Starcon” and we are cleared to leave. Notice that “Subcorporal” is an army/marine rank rather than a naval one. Some of his dialog suggests that he’s older, but who can tell with aliens anyway? He says that Flo is really nice once you get to know her. His career seems to be stalled and he is disappointed that he’ll spend the latter part of it on a garbage scow. He plans for this to be his last tour on the Eureka. Subcorporal Droole is our navigation officer. Here’s a sample of our conversation:įlo: My life stinks and it’s all your fault. She also reveals that the Eureka’s previous captain died when he fell out of the airlock, although she hardly seems sad about this. She is a deeply scarred woman who appears to hate men but still married four of them. Flo, the woman on the left, is our communications officer. Before we head out, I talk to my two new crewmembers to learn a bit more about them. I sit and am greeted by a standard Star Trek-style bridge view with our two bridge officers on either side of a large viewscreen. I hope the back of my chair doesn’t really say “Exit”. After that, it’ll be the second star to the right and straight on until morning. Litterbugs beware! My first task will be to get my ship out of spacedock and out into open space. Not everyone is up for such an important task, but I have the soul of a janitor. Having been granted my first command, I am eager to explore strange new worlds and collect trash where no one has gone before. I am completely unqualified to talk about music, so let’s jump straight into:Ĭaptain’s Log, Stardate: Tuesday afternoon, just after lunch. It’s a fun score that riffs nicely both the earlier Space Quest games as well as Star Trek. We listened to the latter’s work in our previous Dynamix adventures including Willy Beamish, Rise of the Dragon, and Heart of China. The score is credited to Timothy Clarke and Christopher Stevens. Since this isn’t 1990s web design, you’ll have to click here for the soundtrack. Now, how should I begin? I know! We’ll have some jaunty theme music followed by one of those “Captain’s Log” things that provide exposition without forcing characters to tell each other things that they already know. Even if it’s small, we have a ship and a crew! Still, everyone has to start somewhere and I’m sure that I will be working my way up the command ladder to be commanding a mighty starship in no time. Welcome back! Where we last left Space Quest V, I had just passed our Starcon exam and was granted my first ship: the SCS Eureka, a garbage scow.
