Reply to Star Control: Sequel Wishlist in Star Control StarControl Forums

[quote who="UrQuanian" reply="34" id="3840906"] PHEWWWW.. All these comments about over sophisticating things gives me a headache. NO...The answer is simple, really it is: The next Star Control Essentially Needs: More retro style gameplay (but with modern graphics). Though planet lander scouting was repetitious in SC2, it was nice to see the whole planet from the 3rd person perspective.(so explore this option, with a modern take on it) Bring on board Paul

Reply to Star Control: Sequel Wishlist in Star Control StarControl Forums

Echoing Pyro and my own statement from some time ago, deeper universe building, more depth on the various races and their history with each other, and more poignant moments with those races. The biggest things I remember from SC 2 are the ones that involve the unique personality of the various races and some of the very emotional journeys you take with them (Yehat and Shofixti anyone?) I want the planet exploration to not break my wrist after playi

Reply to Stardock, Paul Reiche to team up on next Star Control game, beekeeping in Star Control News StarControl Forums

Really pleased this was worked out. Glad Paul was finally willing to give you a direct call to sort it out. I hope this ends the random warmongers that appeared on the forums earlier and allows both companies to continue contributing to the overall franchise (however it's split legalistically). I also hope this allows Stardock a sigh of relief and allows it to budget and plan without fear of the unknown from lawyer-dom to mess it all up. Looking forward to the new content for SCO so I can boo

I think we need a more fleshed out universe here. There needs to be more story and depth. I would say you definitely need more expansions and content before considering a SC:O 2. I don't feel like this universe is established enough to draw strong interest for a sequel yet. So focus on story/lore-heavy expansions!

Reply to At long last, Reiche and Ford state what they think they own. in Star Control Journals StarControl Forums

Been busy with having the flu and work, only noticed this DMCA nonsense recently. I sincerely hope you're able to file a counter-claim, get the games back up on Steam/GOG, and crush them in this lawsuit. This is a horrible precedent by them and probably terrifies the entire industry. Maybe that alone will lead to some revisions in the law? ESA should be all over this lobbying congress for a change.

Alright, after a little less than another 20 hours, I completed the game. There may be some spoilers here, so don't read if you haven't finished the game. Had a few more thoughts: It would be nice if once you found a Maelnari trader, they would all update with the items of the other traders so you don't have to visit a specific one for a specific item It would also be helpful if they mentioned that they tend to hang out near large main stars (like in S

[quote who="stevelange25" reply="2" id="3730326"] That is exactly that happened. My first officer gave me a warning that the Scryve were defending this system more than normal and that we should leave. But, when I started to leave, I could see a Juggernaut within the system, but outside the hyper limit. I headed towards it and got more than I bargained for when I entered hyperspace.

Reply to Infinite Enemy Ships in Star Control Tech Support StarControl Forums

[quote quoting="post"] I went deep into Scryve space to try out my suped up Vindicator. After slaughtering about 30 guys in the system, I decided to leave. Upon leaving the system, however, I was greeted by an enemy ship. Upon killing that ship, I immediately had to fight another ship. An hour or two and hundreds of dead Scryve ships later, I am still locked in an endless loop. Unfortunately, I have no saves to go back to. I guess there goes 12 hours.&

Reply to Tywom trial quest game breaking bug. *Spoiler* in Star Control StarControl Forums

Huh........I'll tell you what is broken about that quest. The fact that you can open the Origin WITHOUT having progressed with the Phamysht. The Mu'kay won't continue the quest line once our freakish friends appear. There needs to be a blocker on the Origin doing it's thing w/o having first talked to the Phamysht successfully. Kind of ruined the game a bit for me. I'll have to restart before I visited that planet at some point so I can do the order of events properly. Kind of don't want to th

Reply to How do you fix this so it is playable? in Star Control StarControl Forums

I also have a GTX 970 and have had minor crashing issues. I think the latest build + latest nvidia drivers largely minimized them. I think I had to kill the game twice in a long play session. Wasn't too bad, was very annoying. Typically happened when I was transitioning from one thing to another (i.e. finishing a battle, landing on a planet, talking to someone, etc).

I won't lie, I did wish that I had a Space Balls style vacuum to suck up all the resources from a planet...just imagining it, would be so epic and hilarious. Another thing, orbital bombardment of drones/towers would be nice. Kind of gets old dealing with those.

I finally decided to dive into the game a bit. I was feeling really lethargic on Saturday and wanted something familiar that didn't require any brainpower. Usually that's Civ 5, but that night it was jumping into SC:O. After gaming through the entire night (haven't done that in a while), I came up with a list of things I wanted changed or improved. Also, I wasn't impressed with the progress I made for the time given...aka there are a lot of inefficiencies with the game mechanics. 1) I
