It is strange that there has been 0 info on GoP game since the announcement. Are F&P developing anything at all?

Awesome. I think Stardock shall add some frames with shooting critters on the surface of some alien world and interacting with some other @artifact@ besides the crashed ship.

Might be - might be. Anyways, it would be good for F&P to read this thread and give some of their comments here. I am trying to understand one thing - is the main reason behind the whole mess money? Pride/creator entitlement (it might be not the best words that define the idea) - this is my universe and I am not gonna ask anyone for any permissions type of thing? Because if guys (both Stardock and F&P) understand their main point(s) of disagreement - something can be done about

The way I see the situation (w/o trying to fit it in the legal framework): 1) Stardock already invested a lot of resources (both tangible and intangible) in SCO. Stardock decided not to use or reboot the SC2 universe (and they could have done so). Besides making a great game Stardock is afraid that their sales (profits) might go down if players come to a conclusion that the true game is only the one made by F&P, that it is not Star Control if it has no Suppox and etc. and/or if F&

Oh, missed that. That is the problem with reading stuff when rushing to the airport :)

Do not reduce the number of planets! In terms of exploration - one might act in several ways or in combination: make planets with less rigid terrains, make smaller planets, cut the number of minerals with increasing their value but do not reduce the number of planets! Diversity AND numbers is the key for the future mods/universe. I think that exploring for minerals/resources is ok if it lasts around 1,5 minutes save for @special@ planets that have exotic resources, rare life f

Lander exploration is fun. I wounder if there will be hazards/bonuses that are linked to sunlit/dark surface. Will we be able to destroy environment to some extent - like level a mountain? Please, make sure that we have some interesting planets like in ME2 (or ME3 - forgot which part) - if you read their description - there are some nice treats. One can do the same with SCO planets even w/o description - like big scars on the surface from long forgotten battles or some @ghosts@ that spo

Will GoP use Star Control Origins universe and/or will be the first @licensed@ universe?

Oh, now I get what you are trying to say. Then ~guarding~ a star base makes sense. I just do not want to be focused on - oh, there is another attack at star base Y in 2 days, there is fuel shortage at base Z, there are not enough ships at star base X and etc. I want to be immersed in pure exploration and talking to the aliens, resources management shall be limited to upgrades and construction of new ships and modules... IMO :). As for mods - why not? I would not mind (some time in fut

Re teleportation between starbases - why not? Btw. I hope that there is an option to switch it on-off completely (and/or you have to have a special device to use teleportation between star bases or some other modifier) or choose if these teleportation things allow teleportation between certain/all starbases. Think OMEGA relay from ME2. Might be a good thing for mods. My thoughts re Feb update will be posted later on. P.S. Oh, have just noted that Kavik was basic

I do not like the idea of starbases and/or colonies attacked at random time periods. It distracts from the main story and exploration. I do not want SCO to turn into resource management-strategy game. We have other games for that. But may be this is just me. Deathclock is ok, provided that it gives MORE than enough time to complete the main storyline even at rather slow and somewhat relaxed pace and provided you can still continue playing afterwards if you win. We can f

Devs, when will we see the Feb update? It is already March 01 allover the world. :)

Hmmm. Frogboy, is there a specific reason why you are not adding me to the channel?

Relic module - one can find it at some derelict ship or in some ruins on a planet, it increases something but you have to guess what (can be random, small buff to some stat) + it might allow you to communicate with some aliens or planet life forms or read some hidden messages or whatever (might word as a decryptor). Bio-containment field module - some life forms can be dangerous and if you store them on the flag ship they can cause damage|loss of crew over some intervals of time

A few questions 1) Will we have planets with rings? 2) How many moons can a planet have? Can something orbit a moon? Will we have space stations? 3) Will alien ships travel beyond their sphere of influence? Will there be such a thing a sphere of influence? 4) Will the game have a time limit? 5) Will we have boss ships (Admiral Zex), what about space monsters? 6) Will we be able to "dock" gas planets and stars? 7) Will there be grey alie

Ok, I managed to find another 5 mins to type something (this is not the appropriate place for August and September updates but...). Having examined all written and discussed re August and September updates I can say the following: Solar systems seem a bit small and one can cross them very fast (at least this is my initial impression). Temperature-Weather-Gravity-Biology bars - should have 7 sections. -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3. 0 or -3 (numbers are given just for illustration

My first impression (forgive typos, grammar issues and etc. as i do not have much time to work on this one): 1) The music sample is awesome with subtle references to SC2. Amazing. The best thing I have heard yet out of all SCO soundtrack that devs have presented to us. kudos to Riku. 2) Lore is ok. I would use some other name than the "UN" as this organization is in its decline (at least in our universe :)). Something like Reformed United Nations or League of Na

Btw. i think that there might be some artists in the community who could contribute artwork, models and etc, for free for the plain vanilla game (i.e. not mods) and might be even ready to sign waiver (so they won`t have to get paid for their artwork) and etc. I think that if there is need for manpower then Stardock might ask for "free of charge & waiver type help" and some will answer the call.

I was actually more concerned about them having enough manpower when it comes to art and design.
