Here is an image that just has "Trandals" no "Free Trandals". I beat the Scryve and most of Earth Rising Part 1 so I don't know if that changes things. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LzfO2Rjc4so7teOym1_dzGEcNztw8HL0 The save is the same it's: <a href="https://drive.google.com/open
Alright thanks.
Here is a newer save that I loaded after I installed Earth Rising Part 2: Return of the Lexites. You promised to fix this by then and it is not fixed. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QqxGKeY4mDz4QUsfOpYRIrS6-cM_fnxe Eta Llvoren IV still does not have the anomaly (I also landed there and did not get the reward) so I still cannot get the reward for completing "On the trail of

[quote who="chapel976" reply="9" id="3743634"] Does the color of the world indicate potential wealth like it did in SC2? [/quote] Yes. The color of the world in SCO indicates what world type it is. For example Rainbow Worlds are well, rainbow colored with a purple atmosphere. The black ones are Plutonic and tend to have valuable Francium. <a href="https://www.stardock.com/games/article/489787/star-control-origins-prelud
I hope we will see Haalee and the other characters from Dawn of the Singularity.
The 4-part DLC is called Earth Rising and part 1 is already out. https://www.stardock.com/games/starcontrol/article/492036/new-earth-rising-for-star-control-origins-is-now-available Check Steam to see if you have it. https://st

Edit: Sorry I missed the news about 1.4, never mind.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="114" id="3740148"] There are no copyrighted characters in SC2. What are you talking about? There is source code and there is some art. [/quote] Yet again people get confused whether or not computer game lore can be copyrighted, or just the source code and art.
[quote who="GMOrz" reply="112" id="3740140"]There obviously has to exist some middle ground, though. You would, surely, be upset if I started selling copies of Galactic Civilizations, but you'd also be upset if I did an open-source remake called Galactic Civility that was exactly identical except for using slightly different races (Terran Alliance, Yer, Drengi, Alteran, Droth, etc.)[/quote] You're correct in some cases, <a href="http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/187385/clone_
DMCA is broken and P&F abused it. I think that makes it harder for people like Kavik too.

That is what transpired. I'm saying a NEW, mutually beneficial licensing contract for the classic games could have been possible if both parties agreed that the 88 agreement had lapsed in 2001. P&F chose to not get off their asses to allow Stardock to have a new distribution license. That's it. Agreement about 2001 is not required. P&F want SC1-3 to not be sold. Stardock stated P&F needed a
According to P&F they haven't received any royalties post 2001 hence rendering the 1988 agreement expired. That is what they said. It's unclear whether royalties resumed when SC1+2 was put on GOG in 2011 ( anyway, Stardock claims to have paid royalties once they started selling the game ), but it's
Yeah I said on Reddit that P&F thought "from the start" that SCO infringed on their copyright. And then they said "I really don't think that's right" It's hopeless.
That is why Stardock sold the classic games on Steam and GOG without Reiche's permission SC1 and SC2 were sold on GOG in 2011 before Stardock got the trademark in 2013. P&F say that they had a direct agreement with GOG to sell, not Stardock, and therefore Stardock should not have sold on Steam . Well fine, what's the problem with getting a "mutually beneficial" agreement with Stardock too?
tingkagol, P&F called in lawyers, started a PR campaign, DMCAed, and went copyright crazy first (I already mentioned overreaching copyright examples from the Stardock Q&A of P&F requesting policing community fanart and asking the ship designer (no ship designer was in SC2 so HOW do they justify?) be removed, etc.). Stardock then sued for "trademark infring
zwabbit's post just now might have the answer. I still don't know how to decide if something is a "derivative work" or not, though.
The USPTO interprets copyright of videogames to only be for source code and audiovisual material, not design ideas/concepts. They left lore out for some reason. The USPTO also did not bring up SCO possibly being a "derivative work" of SC2 for some reason.
I got the impression that P&F might've let it slide regardess, and let SC:O be SC:O, if it weren't all of the legal mess Stardock started. And Stardock started the legal mess only because of the GotP announcement. Which seems like an incredibly stupid thing to do. If I'm wrong in all this, and you think the events went differently, feel free to educate me. I know you read the emails, but you really need to read both <a href="https://dogarandkaz
Stardock thought they had the licence to sell SC1+2 and were giving P&F royalties for those sales. P&F said the licence expired in 2000 because supposedly SC1+2 stopped being sold for a while. The end result is nobody is selling SC1 or SC2 now except as u
Kermamorjens, Stardock has said they started the suit because P&F infringed on Stardock's "Star Control" trademark by claiming Ghosts of the Precursors is the true sequel to Star Control. At the same time as Star Control Origins reached a publicity milestone with the release of the SCO beta at the 25th anniversary of SC2 . P&F changed th
Well that's pretty simple, Stardock can continue not saying in game that SC2 is part of the SCO multiverse.
ozdon81, why does it matter if P&F have the copyright to SC2? Copyright protects source code and art. SCO has it's OWN source code and art. Trademark protects names, like McDonalds (company) or Big Mac (burger). Stardock owns the Star Control trademark because Atari made that cheap flash game called Star Control to extend the trademark, then Stardock bought the trademark. SCO did not copy source code or art from SC2. The ONLY grey area art-wise is hyp
