Say hi to other founders!
StarControl Forums
Wow. Flipping out. Just got my invite and am so honored and happy to be part of this.
Looking forward to seeing and sharing more.
I guess I'm here too. I'm a harsh (but fair) critic, so this might be a mixed blessing. 
Now I just need to find all the good stuff I was going to post in here.. <starts searching through files>
Yeah! All my google docs hacking paid off
I mean...uh.. congrats to all 'random' participants that were selected 
I just deemed this thread to be the Official Unofficial welcome post. 
I'm very excited to be part of this project. I'm going to be ruthless in my criticism, but just because I love Star Control THAT much, I want this game to be awesome.
Oh participants weren't selected at random. I spent the last 2 days going through thousands (6000+) surveys picking people, and I didn't use google docs. I wanted to make sure the credit card scamming trolls were kept to a minimum. :)
Super happy to be involved. Glad to see some humanoids got in here, and even more glad to see the design doc state that there will be NO HUMANOID ALIENS ALLOWED! Weeee!

That sounds painful going through that many surveys. Thanks for selecting us though. How many total founders are going to be selected?
No humanoids - meaning no this: :(

What's up with the blue chicks?!? The Syreen, the Asari, the friggin' Na'vi? Is that like some sort of underlying human desire, to mate with a blue-skinned creature?
It all started in our youth...
Just wanted to say hello to everyone and a thanks to Stardock for letting me give my two cents along this developmental journey! 
I second everything everyone else has already said. I personally would like to express my excitement to interact with not only the developers but others who have had there lives touched by this great game.
I honestly never thought 20+ years later I would be apart of something like this and look forward to what the future will bring with this project, I am sure I can speak for everyone by just saying a giant, Thank You!
Hello all!
I found out about the founders program from the (not very active) Star Control subreddit, so like a few other folks I'm a new face to Stardock. I'm also super excited to be a part of this revival effort, and really look forward to seeing how things progress here.
Star Control 2 has always been one of my favorite games because of the feeling that I got from playing the game more than anything else. It was the first game that really gave me a sense of actually going out and exploring space, visiting planets in far away star systems, and getting to know a bunch of foreign but interesting aliens. The only game that I can think of at the moment that came close to recapturing that feeling was the original Mass Effect,
I was initially disappointed that this Star Control project was not going to be a direct continuation of Star Control 2, but given the reasons stated in the Vault pdf, I agree that doing an alternate continuity / reboot is the best alternative. Given that, I think that the most important target for this game to hit (at least for me) is going to be recapturing the feeling that I had when I played the original SC2. I don't believe that slavish devotion to the original game is necessarily going to produce a quality finished product.
Those are just some of my initial thoughts, I'm eagerly anticipating discussing more with the rest of you all!
I see this as an amazing opportunity. I look forward to helping any way I can helping SC come back. Reading a few of your other comments here I feel the same way. Nothing has filled the SC void with the exception of Mass Effect so many years ago.
Hi hi let's get all aboard and have Stardock reveal more about the gameplay! How will this game be played?!
Hi folks,
Can't wait to get this started! Looking forward to the game, and trying everything out and being critical and praising all at the same time
Excited to be here! (I am a bit put out that the username "Zebranky" was already taken, but that's what I get for being late to the Stardock *party*.)
Hey all, looking forward to future discussions with fellow founders 😃
