NightShadowPT

Congratulations! I've just played for 15min, but the game is looking great. My nostalgia is bursting...

Now that the game is out... can I have my boxed version? :)

This game is the perfect candidate for a Collector's edition and you guys don't have one? Talk about missed opportunities... :(

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="655" id="3712228"] Thanks for the kind words. This game means a lot to us. We are hopeful that as people play it, they will see how much attention has been put into tiny details. [/quote] I would like to second Obsid1anWolf's post. I think that Origins is nailing the Star Control vibe, and for me, that is more important than anything else.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="388" id="3709885"]Nevertheless,I’id appreciate it if members of our forum not associate others will Hitler, even in jest or as satire. [/quote] And that position deserves a round of applause! Thanks

[quote who="bleybourne" reply="266" id="3708627"] What Brad just said (quite clearly) is that they make out in their SUMMARY that they are being reasonable and almost meeting Stardock's suggested agreement, but that they are LYING in the summary about what their actual documents say. They are hoping that armchair lawyers will only read the summary and then angrily shout "Well why didn't Stardock agree to that" and not actually read the actual proposed document which is quite different fr

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="258" id="3708496"] You will see that their *summary* (though not actual document) is similar to what we proposed and they rejected back in October before the lawyers were involved. They rejected that. [/quote] So you have reached an agreement after all... why not accept it, even if coming a bit late? At this point, Stardock is just looking like a vindictive company that cannot work things out like adults. If P&F's sett

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="249" id="3707991"] That’s the key phrase is t it? Assuming it is true. [/quote] And that is exactly why I used that phrase... unfortunately this is all becoming a "they said", "you said" kind of argument, so we can only go by what the parties post online. [quote who="Frogboy" reply="249" id="3707991"] As for who is keeping this gong, that would be Paul and Fred. They are the ones who keep posting defamatory, mi

Assuming P&Fs post is true, StarDock's proposal is preposterous. I can understand that you drop in a couple of items for negotiation purposes, but Stardock's proposal is borderline offensive. Until you guys start having a win-win attitude, this is just going to be a waste of money. You should really stop listening to your lawyers... they are only stirring up the waters to keep this going and the money flowing into their pockets.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="218" id="3706005"] I've seen several of P&F's fans claim there's some sort of "fair use" here when, obviously, no, that's not what fair use is. [/quote] I agree with you on this one. If they want to use the name Star Control on their product, as in "Star Control: Ghosts of the Precursors", they have to have Stardocks agreement. What they can do, is call it "Ghosts of the Precursors" with a sticker saying "from the creators of Star Cont

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="181" id="3705810"] The hope was that Paul and Fred would one day return to their story. [/quote] So when they do, this is what happens :) Poetic.

Well said Greg... well said!

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="118" id="3705208"] That was our hope as well. My email, which is Exhibit E in the Stardock complaint, explicitly outlines that if they ever wanted to make a new game in the Ur-Quan continuity, we would be willing to help promote it even if they didn't want to develop it with us. That was in 2013. But that is by no means an invitation to start trying to advertise ones game as a Star Control game. Imagine if they tried to make a "tr

[quote who="eride" reply="98" id="3705022"] I read the court filings linked on the arstechnica article. Now I know why NightShadowPT brought this back up. Apologies for my mischaracterization above on what IP was at issue. [/quote] No need to apologize, it was an honest mistake. :) And yes, that article was exactly why I brought this topic back from the dead. What I find painful is that Stardock does not seem to understand that if both these p

This is a complete waste of time and money that could be otherwise spent on developing the game. You are also losing a lot of good will from the community. Stop this nonsense once and for all and just sit down like grown man and reach an agreement where you can all use the damn Star Control name.

I really think you have nailed the feel of the Super Melee. Loving it and it feels like I'm playing SC2 Super Melee all over again. But the make or brake of this will be in the balance and how interesting the ships are. How they will counter each other, etc. Right now, it feels a bit unbalanced, but I love this beta! Keep up the good work.

Hi, My name is Bruno and I have been a long fan of Star Control. I am amazed that I've only just discovered this new version. I believe that Stardock should be doing a better job at getting the word out. Anyway, here I am, ready to participate in the community. Cheers, Bruno
