NDA for a game in development is not uncommon. Neither is a development time of 4 years or more. The purpose of the NDA is stop people from spreading images of an unfinished game, because there are those who would treat them as if they are of the final product. Also to stop spoilers for the adventure mode's story. It has already been explained that the delay was needed to make tools for ordinary players to create ships, aliens, planets, quests, maps, etc. And just for

[quote who="TimBot2100" reply="6" id="3694421"] I'm going to pre-order later this week. . . I am wondering, after the full games is released, will those of who pre-ordered (and those that didn't) be able to create original storylines and adventures? Will it be as customizable (or close) as those who ordered the Founder's Program? [/quote] Of course, the tools are the same. Founders just get to play with them earlier.

The Greegrox are getting a redesign, but I thought it would be a waste to just abandon their old design. So I thought why not use it for a different species? Thus I came up with a non-sapient, that means you can't talk to them, species that lives in space and likes to eat asteroids and other space debris, included wreckages of space ships. Name: Ship Devouring Organism, SDO for short System: NA, congregate in asteroid fields and around space ship wrecks <img src="

I would like to see multi-species enemy fleets in adventure mode. I think this would make for more interesting battle encounters. I will use examples with UQM aliens to avoid spoilers, imagine running into a Kzer-Za Dreadnought flanked by an Ilwrath Avenger and Thraddash Torch.

I like the music files, especially the Mowlings theme. More hazards in Melee maps sounds good. However I suggest changing the name of Van Allen radiation belts to something else, in real life Van Allen belts are around planets and you would need to spend months in them to be affected. An idea I have for a map type is to be around a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.o

I agree that from a gameplay perspective a camera centered on the player's ship would be better. It would not disadvantage cloaking devices, like the one the Ilwrath Avenger possessed, and it eliminates the possibility of confusing which ship is yours when both players have the same ship, that has happened to me once. However, it is also true that it would distance the game from Star Control and I am sure there would be plenty of people who would cry "They changed it, now it shucks!".

[quote who="tid242" reply="23" id="3693101"] Since the SC rights are now owned by Stardock. Does the "Activision permission" mean that this newly announced sequel will be under the SD banner with Paul and Fred on loan to SD, or are the rights being licensed to Activision (or someone else) from SD for them to work on it elsewhere? Or is this question spoiling an upcoming announcement?(*) [/quote] Neither, Activision is only allowing Paul and Fred to work on it in

She originally looked older, and I always hate seeing young people portray as Admirals, Senators, and Presidents.
