Introduction
I created this Guide due to the hidden nature and difficulty entailed in aquiring these obscure and easily missed Achievements.
Chapter 1 - Make it So
Start a new game with a leader name containing "Picard".
Chapter 2 - MOOOOOOOO
Start a new game with an empire named after one of the races found in the Master of Orion games.


Examples: Alkari / Darloks / Gnolam / Humans / Klackon / Meklars / Psilons / Sakkra / Silicoids
Chapter 3 - Wrong Game Dude!
Start a new game with a race named after one of the races found in the Galactic Civilizations games.


Examples: Altarian Republic / Arcean Empire / Dominion of Korx / Drath Legion / Drengin Empire / Iconian Refuge / Korath Clan / Krynn Consulate / Terran Alliance / Thalan Empire / Torian Confederation / Yor Collective
Chapter 4 - May the force not sue you
Start a new game with a leader name containing "Skywalker".
Chapter 5 - Honorable Mention
Start a new game with a leader named "Honor Harrington".
Chatper 6 - I will kill you with a flashlight
Start a new game with a leader name containing "Adama".
Chapter 7 - Endless Competition
Start a new game with an empire named after one of the races found in Endless Space.


Examples: Amoeba / Automatons / Cravers / Harmony / Hissho / Horatio / Pilgrims / Sheredyn / Sophons / Sowers / United Empire / Vaulters
Chapter 8 - I see what you did bear
Start a new game as the Kulrathi, with an empire name containing "Kilrathi" or "Bulrathi".
Additional Notes
Once you've unlocked the Achievement it'll reveal how to unlock it, which isn't actually helpful since you've already unlocked them. However, it does mean that 0.X% of people knew how to unlock them already, and never bothered to create a Guide about it... Until now.
Epilogue
For the Greater Good, please Like, Favorite & Follow.

If you found my Guide useful or simply enjoyed reading it, then why not join my Guide Makers Club? It's a group dedicated to helping would-be Guide makers, but if you liked my Guide and want to see me make a Guide for a specific game, then you can make a request there.

Cheers!

I have played five games on easy, various factions and explored the galaxy - cant get the rogue asteroid event. wanted to get all the achievements, doesnt seem to spawn. Did a few games on normal with all basic settings too

About the chapter 3 achievement "Wrong Game Dude!", I just had several failed attempts until I pasted the same name into both the Race Name field and the Empire Name field (I don't remember which name I chose from the list, I kept trying different ones).

My guess is the in-game description confused the two names, while the game checks the correct field, since the examples listed sounds much more like empires and not races.

I did not mark mark your guide favorably in honor of your naive and misbegotten Greater Good, Xenos scum. I did so in order to designate it as something to plunder for those of us that are in thrall to She Who Thirsts.

Let us show your fledgling "empire" the myriad delights that the wider galaxy has to offer. :snaggletooth:

@ TK The information provided is literally, word for word, exactly what's written in the Achievements descrption. If it has suddenly stopped working, which seems to be the case, then it's a problem within the game itself. I know that the Developer recently made changed to the Achievements which allowed one that was previously unobtainable to be obtained, maybe something else broke during that process. In either case it's not something that is within my power to repair, instead you should check the forums and/or create a thread about it. I'm sure if the Developer (Zero) recieves enough pokes about it he'll be galvanised into action.

@ SCC If you take note of what your ship is called you can find it's blueprint in the ship design page and see whether or not it was built with either of those bombs included.

Hmmmm I only had one equiped at a time we werent late game enough that anyone had shielded planets and there was no fleet. How do i know if i have or dont have any bombs?
Farsight  [author] 24 Apr, 2016 @ 4:33pm 
I'm not sure if TK answered your question or not (I can't read/speak French) but if you've designed a ship with both and you can't bombard a planet, then it could be that you've either ran out of bombs, there is an enemy fleet blocking you, or the planet is sheilded.

I don't really remember much about the game, it hasn't been too long since I last played it, but a lot has happened since then.
TsarTsar 24 Apr, 2016 @ 2:18pm 
Alright thanks for the heads up. Also do you know why I cant bombard any planets? Ive gotten protobombs nukes and nuerutoxins and the bombard button still doesnt allow me to click it
Farsight  [author] 24 Apr, 2016 @ 2:13pm 
I've checked the Achievements description to see if the Developer has changed it, but as near as I can tell it's still asking for the same thing.

Star Drive 2 has a bit of a history with certain Achievements not working when they should, it would be best to make a post about it on the Forums to a alert the Developer (Zero).
