[quote who="maanvis26" reply="48" id="3659778"] Why not? Cheating issues? [/quote] Yeah, and asset availability. They don't appear to be pumping much of the budget into the multiplayer aspects, since they ignored the one that has been part of the original 3 games. What would make them want to stream modded ships from player to player just for multiplayer?

https://forums.starcontrol.com/480824 Since most of us don't venture out of this subforum, I though I would post this as an FYI. [quote quoting="post"] Greetings! This Fall Stardock began a major overhaul across the board of its community infrastructure. The first update was of our WinCustomize.com customization site ( w

[quote who="maanvis26" reply="46" id="3659756"] As long as the modded ships are also in the multiplayer melee I'm perfectly fine with it. [/quote] The expansion ships will be, but modded ships are another matter. They probably won't. This is another reason to push for Local Multiplayer.

[quote who="Khronobomb" reply="57" id="3659731"] Good writing should allow you to play your Captain as you wish, not what Hunam or Frogboy thinks is best. [/quote] Where did you read that Hunam was trying to limit how you played your captain? The comments are not about your roleplay. He's challenging the tone of humor that is portrayed outside of your captain's reactions.

[quote who="Hunam_" reply="38" id="3659678"] ^ Aha, it's a $35 game with two $15 expansions and multiple $5 DLCs... Not $60 at all... And you didn't PRE-pay $100 for it either. [/quote] Exactly. Between DLCs and expansions, the ship count had better be more than 15. But 15 on release day is fine.

[quote who="Hunam_" reply="36" id="3659673"] But SCO isn't aiming at imitating SC1. It's aiming at SC2. It's not 1990 today either where there's memory, cpu power etc. limitations. 12-14 ships and the story as long as SC2 is an underwhelming goal for a 2017-18 game in my estimation. [/quote] This isn't a $60 AAA SeanMurrayHypeExpress game. It is a meager $35 game on a $5 mil budget.

[quote who="cuorebrave" reply="50" id="3659665"] Omg, I knew I remembered it was a Cracked guy, but the designer's name on SCO is Soren Johnson... and so I thought it was Soren BOWIE (also a Cracked writer)... so then I searched the forums to make sure it was Soren Bowie and came up with the name Soren Johnson, I said to myself, "Huh. I guess I was wrong about the writer being from Cracked... until this very minute when you reminded me that it's Chris Bucholz instead of Soren Bow

[quote who="maanvis26" reply="32" id="3659663"] Nope, the graphics and sounds were different. (256 color and soundblaster sound versus 16 color and pc speaker sound) [/quote] SC1 supported VGA 256 and had soundblaster / adlib support. Many of the assets were reused. See for yourself. http://playdosgamesonline.com/star-control.html You can mince words all you want, but the fact is that Toys for Bob had 14 existing alien races / ships in SC2 and only had t

[quote who="maanvis26" reply="29" id="3659658"] I know, they even included ship assets that were in the first game! [/quote] Fixed it for you.

[quote who="maanvis26" reply="48" id="3659657"] oh come on a spathi would react exactly the same as the tywom did . Probably even worse, claws in the air running around crazily. [/quote] Did they ever fall to a planet in a puff of smoke? No? Case closed.

[quote who="maanvis26" reply="45" id="3659651"] I think you never really met a pkunk swearing to replenish his energy or a spathi talking about which color stones to throw at enemies from trees in your playthrough if you didn't think it was goofy .. or a zoq-fot-pik pik going haywire over FRUNGY while being named after the way that dutch people call a penis . [/quote] Those are different styles of comedy than the Tywom doing a Wile E. Coyote impression in the opening cin

[quote who="maanvis26" reply="25" id="3659634"] that's fucked up, if Sc2 can do 25 ships why can't SC:O? [/quote] There were not 25 NEW ships in SC2.

[quote who="Hunam_" reply="37" id="3659625"] ^ Couldn't disagree with you more on everything. [/quote] Ca'mon, man. Don't be mean. If you disagree, post a counter-argument. [quote who="maanvis26" reply="36" id="3659620"] One last request: Please give those ZIP files an extension. It makes life easier for us windows users [/quote] They are zips for me. Win 10 and Win 7. Maybe you turned off the option to show extensions accidentally

[quote who="Hunam_" reply="2" id="3659624"] ^ You don't see what? Same low poly, low detail 3D model that's inferior to 2D art in every possible way (maybe apart from couple). [/quote] I don't see any resemblance.

[quote]^ In game render, looks pretty much just like the female commander concept in SC:0 [/quote] I.... don't see it.

[quote who="cuorebrave" reply="32" id="3659585"] Damn it, I derailed my own thread! [/quote] Relevant: Now can we get back on track and talk about other things? :P

[quote who="Pyro411" reply="27" id="3659576"] Actually I think that's the bottom of the white shirt she's wearing under her uniform that you're seeing. [/quote] Shh... You'll ruin Hunam's fantasy. He's currently playing his favorite guessing game: "What color are they?"

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that you can tell she is wearing panties?

This thread right now... Honestly, I don't care. However, her 2D arched back pose makes her look like she's thrusting her chest at you. Is that the look that SD is going for?

[quote who="Hunam_" reply="51" id="3659530"] By "we" do you mean you and me? [e digicons]:D[/e] [/quote] By "we", I mean all of us.

[quote who="cuorebrave" reply="8" id="3659546"] 1) Fonts - someone want to drudge up Hunam's old post about fonts? [/quote] Did that 5 minutes after the update went live. [quote who="Hunam_" reply="12" id="3659553"] I really DISLIKE the type/style of "humor" in this vid. This is not the game about Tom & Jerry in space. SC2 never had that kind of humor. It absolutely misses the SC2 feel in my estimation. Tongue-in-cheek, sarcasm, irony, satire, please. No
