[quote who="Kavik_Kang" reply="110" id="3707858"] There is really nothing about Star Control that is not just an arcade version of the fully linked SFU.[/quote] I'm reading this thread from scratch--I got here late--and I have to say...it sounds to me, Kavik, that any spaceship game can be square-peg-in-round-holed to become an unquestionable rip-off of your precious Star Fleet Battles. But, I gotta say, it just ain't so. [quote]The ga

[quote]UQM had about 3,800 astral bodies in total, including moons and gas giants.[/quote] Okay, my count of roughly 600 (I may've miscounted; it was a long list) was of stars rather than astral bodies...I'd gotten the impression that SCO had 3,000+ star systems , but maybe I'm wrong. I hope I'm not. Cuz that would be amazing.

[quote]You are missing a lot of elements of this because those elements have never appeared in a computer game before.[/quote] See, I don't think I am; I read your description...perhaps you haven't done such a great job, if my responses are "missing a lot". [quote]I'm pretty sure people would want to play actual multiplayer games much more than single player games where other people are playing them at the same time.[/quote] See, you keep saying "actual m

I'd like to second that; I've got more than a few questions, asked 'em already in this forum...dying to know the answers.

Golly, I hope not. Sick to death of remakes, reboots, reimaginings, and sequels that come decades too late; excepting the exceptions-that-prove-the-rule of :Deadpool" and "ready Player One", I can't remember the last time Hollywood made something new and good. Heck, apparently there i a live-action version of "Dumbo" coming out, and I'm like, "Are you @#$%ing kidding me...?" If video games are going to start being the same...ugh. I'm

(This could not have come across my Facebook feed at a better time.)

...you have honor? [e digicons]:D[/e]

Aw, there are MMOs that have PvP modes. I don't really prefer those, however; I'd rather have games with a good reason for co-op play...an AI enemy that'll stomp us all into dirt if we don't defeat it. (I think there was such a game, where the universe would reset itself every few weeks if the players or the enemy won. Can't remember what that was, tho...)

[quote] We add side quests constantly.[/quote] Ah. Sounds cool. Can't wait. :)

[quote] Yes to isometric ship views....[/quote] Yeah...that's really my only wishlist-item right now. Everything else is curiosity, really. Like...will there be an alien-crafter to go along with planets and ships? I mean for the story-building mode...or will we have to use the shipped SCO species? I'd love a Spore-style alien builder...I'm just curious how that'll work.

Well, there isn't much else I feel I'd want now, given what I've seen so far. There is one thing and I posted about it, but I don't even know whether they've read it; there were no replies, not even telling me to get stuffed, so... Basically, I was asking for improvement in ship selection, making the icons more of a front view than top--some ships I've built are really hard to identify from above; even just a slight angle would b

[quote]So far anyway. I add about 20 to 30 a day as the story requires.[/quote] Are you saying the story isn't finished yet?

I swear they said the SCO number was in the thousands. Maybe I'm wrong--I only heard that in a video, and I don't wanna go digging, but I could swear that's what they said.

502? No. Way closer to 600; I counted.

Okay, I went to one of those sites and counted; you're welcome. I got to five hundred ninety-six, but I probably missed out one or two...call it 600. ...for whatever that's worth.

I'm finding a lot of lists of SC2 star systems, but none of them have a total, a count. Frustrating. ...but it's definitely less than 3,000, which--if I remember correctly--is roughly the number we're promised by Stardock. So...

Okay, a less flippant answer: I don't know. I really don't; "playing it" was actually quite honest, even if I was being a brat. I mean, there are so many aspects to a Star Control game, and I could never pick a favorite. And I don't know all of the changes that have been made and whether they will enhance the experience or make me go, "Oh, puh- LEASE! "; what I've seen so far looks cool, but...you never know. So many re-boots, re-makes, and sequels to gam

[quote]What are YOU most excited about for Star Control: Origins?[/quote] Playing it.

Originally posted this in the main forum; forgot this sub-forum existed. Maybe I'm the only one having this difficulty, but I often find it a little challenging to pick out a ship during the selection process, and a huge part of that is the disconnect between the ship I've crafted and the icon created for it. For example: </p

Oh, yeah. Didn't see that. My bad. Still...September. I hate waiting; patience is NOT one of my virtues.

Anyone who doesn't love Star Control eats yellow snow. That right. You heard me. [e digicons]:hrmph:[/e] I actually haven't been waiting for a good SC sequel for years...cuz after SC3, I thought the franchise was dead. When I heard about SCO and saw what content was already available, it awakened such childish glee as the world has never seen. And that's only grown the more I see. Also...I've never played Sin of a

That music stirs up sooooo many old memories. But...when? WHEN?

I'm betting it's a game spoiler and that's why nobody from Stardock has answered. Like I said in the OP.

Killing you? I'm not exactly living up patience to its fullest! You can release something early. It's cool. I won't tell. ;)
