I won't let that count as a "blind" speedrun, but I was not very prepared to be honest. As a kid I had a lot of practice with some of the typical Alliance ships so I was quite comfortable with their missions. But I cannot say the same about the Hierachy ships. Also I realized that the Awesome AI plays a pretty mean Arilou. Why was I wearing a virtual party hat? Because Star Control 2's 30th anniversary!
