[quote who="chapel976" reply="4" id="3691976"] and did I miss being able to name a star? that sucks, I would have had a good name too [e digicons]:([/e] [/quote] Well you might feel better, by knowing how I wasted mine,. As I have no idea, what was the name I proposed there :D. And I don't know if I will ever find it out, as the proposals were at least half anonymous (so I can't see the name from anywhere anymore, but technically stardock might have some record of it).</

[quote who="Alverez" reply="5" id="3687728"] People pay zero attention and don't engage, then bitch about not being involved. [/quote] A really old commenting, but let's do a quiz, which of these is bitching? 1) "Great times, I'm truly grateful that Stardock has taken up the burden of continuing the story" 2) "I can be patient, I was just wondering if I was missing something" 3) "Take it easy on my, I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm just asking

[quote who="DarkGildon" reply="44" id="3671351"] Quest logs detract from the game, but *physically leaving* the game in search of notes you keep elsewhere doesn't? I beg to differ.... [/quote] It's a good point. Immersion is really important in games like star control, where the mood means a lot.

I belive star control would make best comparison and take lessons from cRPGs at least regarding these talks (especially automatic logs). At least MMORPGs don't make a proper comparison imo. But what was really good in SC2 plot-wise was the choices. Now I admit that I have a lousy memory, so feel free to correct me, but I think my point is mostly valid: - Pkunk going to yehat territory and getting slaughtered (even if you allowed that to happen it was ok regarding the story an

[quote who="Volusianus" reply="27" id="3670841"] Wait, are you talking about company splash screens? [/quote] Yes. Though I wasn't talking about something specific, but used it as an example of forced scene, that can not be skipped. There are company splash logos, cut scenes and small actions (like quasi-space), that are forced on the player. Nowadays less than before though, but they do still come around.

[quote who="Hunam_" reply="24" id="3670798"] Quoting L7hachi, reply 22 ... You gotta realize that some cut scenes are there to hide loading screens. [/quote] Well the experiences I mostly remember at this moment are from strategy games and there I

I haven't been active on these forums, but I ended up spending my coding freetime to read SC:origin forums (an hour in the morning before family wakes up and I end up going to work :). I like the idea off good support for modding and I think Brad is right on that. The only thing that it requires to be successful though, is enough SC:origin fans to create the mods. If you feel like there is strong enough community for star control, then even just making awesome modding tools and

I have another question. If you encourage it to be ridiculous and reading between the lines: something special and If I try to be overly smart, I will try to come up with a planet name in Finnish (as my native tongue). Is that A) Ok? B) what do you mean with letters? Are characters like: ä, ö, å allowed? If there are restrictions, then you might want to list them here.

[quote who="Maogan" reply="12" id="3609805"] Quoting Myzimensi, reply 8 What about Mmmgm, Farilou, Recursors and Punzervault? Haha! Wonderful! I would LOVE it if the Arilou or Orz introduced the game, and then we don't have to hear from

I think I will also introduce myself, even though looking through the introductions, I feel like I don't deserve to be here (very Finnish trait). My name is Janne. I have been waiting for star control 2 sequel for almost 20 years now and even though toys for bob are not involved, luckily I have learned to trust and respect Stardock! I see star control a very challenging game especially in today's game development. It is a almost unique genre that has been explored very
