I wish you could do more. I know Star Control isn't, like, a strategy, take-over-the-galaxy kind of game, but I think it'd be fun to be able to do it. Like, if the Scryve have taken over a system, you can fight them and take it back...but you can only do it with systems they've conquered; you can't change the map by taking systems they controlled at the beginning of the game.

There've been some people on the Steam forum who've been real jerkwads about that.

[quote who="smajere" reply="2" id="3727871"] Much like SC2, over the length of a FULL play through, you won't be spending as much time on planets.[/quote] Yes, I will. [quote]Once you get past a certain amount of building up the main ship and fleet, you'll be ignoring planets that only have 1 RU or 5RU resources and only landing when you see unidentified objects / gold / green / purple resources.[/quote] Actually, I started doing that pretty much right aw
[quote quoting="post"] First, let me get this out of the way. I have read/listen/watched many reviews for SCO, and many say the same thing. That it is boring collecting the resources. I 100% disagree with this, I think this is the heart of the game [/quote] I have to agree. When Stardock said that the player would be spending, what was it, 10% of their time on planets, I was like, "Whaaaa...? Did you guys even play Star Control 2???" I mean, they stayed true
Unless I missed something, I'm pretty sure I deleted all of the beta folders. But I can look... ...yep. All I see is "Star Control - Origins". And, early on, I deleted everything from the SC folder in "My Games" (except the saves; I copied those to the desktop and them re-copied after).

I don't know how you guys are gettin' that. I did all the steps above and my load times are still more than a minute.
Awesome. I had no idea...that's pretty cool. Thanks. :)
Thanks! :)
[quote who="Rhonin_the_wizard" reply="3" id="3727496"] If you place your mouse over a mineral during planet scan it tells you its value. [/quote] True...but why not just display it right there instead of having to mouse-over it?
You remember when you were letting people name planets? I know you named one after me, you posted pictures of it. I can't find it...the planet or the pictures. Remind me?
[quote quoting="post"] The game will let you know that you don't need to land on every crummy planet if you're landing on a bunch of crummy planets. #1 negative review source has been people landing on thousands of planets and thinking that's the way to make money.

Okay, I swear you guys took my name suggestion--"Fahr", my last name--and you even posted a picture of it, but now I can't find it. ...here or in the galaxy. Not that I've explored everywhere yet, but still.

I think everybody in this conversation needs to stop holding back and tell us how they really feel.
I'll take a game that's basically what we're getting: something that keeps the spirit of Star Control 2. Sure, I would have liked a proper sequel to SC2 that pretends SC3 never happened, but what I've seen so far is gonna make me happy. I remember when that revamp of Master of Orion came out...it might've been okay if it hadn't been for one weapons-grade deal-breaker: travel was only possible along star-lanes instead of free travel from star to star as long as t
Well, whatever floats your ducky, I guess.
That's some pretty hard-core all-or-nothing, dude. Baby? Bathwater? Bah! Who needs 'em! Now, if you had a large enough base behind you--couple thousand, hundred thousand, maybe the better part of a million--Stardock might go, "Whoa. Okay. Problem for sales, here." But somehow I think they can weather the loss of one customer; your protest, in the end, ain't gonna mean squat. Not without more people--a lot
No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.

How about a load that takes place before the actual release, then?
