Cloaking device

from StarControl Forums

Will Star control: Origins contain a cloaking device for the flagship?

That would be incredibly cool to have since SC2 was rumored to have it.. http://wiki.uqm.stack.nl/Hoaxes_and_Rumours_FAQ

I even whipped up a fake screenshot about it, I think this was 1999 or 2000, to troll everyone into thinking that SC2 actually had a cloaking device ;)

So, pretty please? Can we have a cloaking device?

I remember when you posted that..was pretty funny.  Almost made up for all the time I spent trying to find the cloaking device based on the screenshot from the sc2 box.  Or was it in the manual?  Wish I still had that stuff.

I think it was the manual, and apparently some people also started looking for it after that hoax was posted.

That would make it cool to have it, or some other joking reference to the original included in SC: Origins :). I don't think you couuld get in much legal trouble if this game has a Wimbli's trident?

Or include a dried lizard on a stick as a hommage to TFB?

There should definitely be a prop gag somewhere along the way with an alien pulling a flat dried lizard-on-a-stick out of a random box of stuff.

:congrat:

I wonder if Stardock's one of the unannounced games is The Horde: Origins...

I have a feeling Kirk Cameron isn't up to reprise his role.  That was a good game though, too bad it isn't more remembered.  Not shocking I guess, not too many people had a 3DO.

I played it on the PC :). And I think I still have the .mods that I extracted from it from that time ;).

But yeah, the horde could be a nice mini game if you have to save alien farms from even aliener invasions ;)

Wow... that's a game I haven't played in Ages.

 

Hmm maybe if he comes back he could be the king reminiscing of the old times when he first dragged the sword across the floor.

I think cloaking device would be great easter egg for us older players.
