My name is Jonathan Rafferty, and I've been a fan of both Star Control 1 and Star Control 2 since they first came out on PC. I can recall countless hours I spent playing Star Control 1, competing with my brothers using different halves of the keyboard, and making bets about who could win with what in SC1's melee. I bought and played the original PC version of Star Control 2, and the music and fonts gave the game such texture that I actually still prefer the version without

To some extent, Star Control 2 still had that sort of colony management, but it was based around defending certain alien races from threats, making alliances, or making war.

Honestly, I think it'd be nice to have a strategy element to the game. I think that SC3 was always intended to have a strategy element, however, the way it was enacted was atrocious. There was, essentially, no difference in how different races established colonies, or in what planets were ideal to what species. There was one resource. There was no choice in how a colony developed. Most attrocious, enemy colonies didn't expand their power. They did
