* Sure, it's a pain in the ass that you won't get any Eluders anymore, but the moment you realize that the Spathi have vanished without a trace because they've ''slave-shielded themselves'' will probably make you laugh anyway[[nore]]Or a massive facepalm[[/note]].

* In a darker way, the window that shows the Earthling Cruiser's bridge when you fight with or against one, as well as the slides at the beginning and the end of the game, show crewmen dressing in red. Now remember that in this game, [[CastFromHitPoints the ships' hit points, the lander included,]] [[RedShirt are represented by your crew]].

** The Menkmack pretending not to understand the concept of "stealing" can be kinda funny. They'll freely admit to taking something, but when you call it stealing, they'll claim their translation software is having trouble with what you're saying.

** If you go to the enslaved Umgah homeword without the Taalo Shield, you'll be psychically compelled to fly into Ur-Quan space (The Ur-Quan will let you go if you tell them about what happened). What's so funny about this? [[TooDumbToLive You can go straight back to the Umgah Homeword, again without the Taalo Shield]] and then get sent to Ur-Quan space again. The Ur-Quan are not amused by this.

* On Miranda, a moon of Uranus, you can find a crashed [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_Heavy_test_flight#Payload Tesla roadster]]. Bonus points as we're talking about [[UranusIsShowing such planet]].
-->No idea how this got this far out here.

* Woe unto the player who runs out of fuel in or near Tywom space. They will send a ship to bring you back to the nearest starbase...but only if you let them share their fanfiction with you.
-->'''Tywom''': We have seen all of your shows and have a lot of great ideas about where to take them next!
-->'''Option A''': No.
-->'''Option B''': Please no.
* The Drenkend explain how their cloning system works:
-->'''Drenkend''': We press the button and a new Drenkend comes out.
-->'''Captain''': Right, but how does it work?
-->'''Drenkend''': WE PRESS THE BUTTON AND A NEW DRENKEND COMES OUT.

* One conversation option with your Commander at the Sol starbase is the Captain complaining that other aliens keep insulting your ship as being ugly. The Commander actually ''agrees'' with the aliens.
-->'''Commander''': Well, duh! Compared to them, we're way behind in Hyperspace technology. Our spacecraft probably look completely backwards to them.

** In a later encounter, the Niffwan talks about how when the Spathi first arrived on their "designated planet" it was full of terrifying monsters and the Spathi were too afraid to even approach them for ages [[spoiler: the "monsters" turn out to have just been ordinary rabbits.]]

* The first encounter with the Spathi. Their representative complains about being woken due to his body not being used to the day/night cycle of their new colony and then suddenly reacts with abject terror when he sees what he believes to be a large green monster on screen. He immediately surrenders, offering up his colony's entire stock of resources and reveals what he believes to be The Captain's weakness until he realises that someone has fiddled with the colour and contrast settings on his monitor.

* The Zoq-Fot-Pik's origin story. After banding together to destroy their predators the Zebranky, they had the choice to develop civilization, but opted to spend the next five thousand years kicking back and enjoying themselves instead. Then one day a lightning bolt struck a rock, turned it into a disc, caused some grass stuck in the middle of it to catch fire, and sent it careening down a hill where it killed a Zoq. The Fot and Pik decided that the Zoq had gone to a better place (one without flaming discs), and thus [[AchievementsInIgnorance accidentally discovered the wheel, fire, and religion all at once]].

* Speaking of the Kohr-Ah, this exchange is one of the rare times they might get a chuckle out of the player:
-->'''The Captain''': You have attacked us before, and we survived! You cannot defeat us. Submit!
-->'''Kohr-Ah''': We did. You did. Yes we can. No.
