From SC3. Hilarious, and easy to trounce, unlike the Daktaklakpak. The latter are another great race to toss out as "strangest".

FYI, there's an open source version of SC2 called The Ur-Quan Masters. I have it working on my Mac. It's HARD! Any tips for the battles?

I used a cheat system and I still wasn't able to beat it in time my first try. I recommend you download the ship editor for singleplayer. Would be insanely hard otherwise with the tiny time limit.

For ship to ship I find if you can orbit an enemy vessel you can do damage and move out of the way of their weapons.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Perhaps a race to consider would be the Liir from Sword of the Stars?
