Theta Lynx endless hail loop in Bug Reports Stardock Forums

In Theta Lynx, when I hail the ship, I converse and select the leave option, at which time it cycles back to the start of the hail/fire at will sequence. There is no way to exit this other than using the 'fire at will' option.

Reply to SUBMIT your Star Control intro idea in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

One thing that my intro does allow for, is that it can be merged into existing games if needed, orrrr, there can be logical other splits. Another aspect, is that if there are several games based on splits, there can be a game that merges them with a story about collapsing universes/dimensions, with an outcome being something robust and rich in a final unified history. It can also allow for the Urquan to meet these other races and wipe some of them out, as a scourge.

I think it would be neat to start with the original SC and show the Chenjesu event, the war, fast forward to SC2, show something of that. Have a narration telling us about those times, then cut into a super rewind, but this is how it started...well at least in dimension XYZ. Something about trying to achieve the same stability. The game can end with the comment that they are on their way to taking on the future threats of the universe.

Reply to May Update Feedback in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

I do not get the removing of hyperspace either. The only people finding it frustrating are people with extreme ADD. Speaking as a programmer myself, that is the kind of excuse I give when I do not want to program something, or the excuse I make to meet a time line....

Reply to Planet design real or comical ? Harvesting ? in Star Control Stardock Forums

Count me in for real type planets as well. I am not a fan of bubbly cartoonish style. I like most of the ships to leek realish as well. I think non-realistic style lends itself to a younger demographic, and it is likely that most of the founders are not all that young.

Reply to cd-key in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

I like that we still call them CD keys. The last CD I got with a game on it, was probably Command and Conquer (something or other); And this will be a digital download, sans optical medium.

What I would like with a mod tool is the ability to make a new campaign and perhaps the ability to add new ships+cut scenes, for that campaign. So that (not that I would want to) I could in theory make the SC2 campaign.

If takes place as a different dimension in the multiverse, I gives the ability for a second story, in the future, of the dimensional wall breaking open and having a crossover story that ties in this prequel and the SC2 universe. This could be a very complicated and interesting story/couple of stories - along the lines of making the universe better in one of the dimensions and fixing another. This would also allow for crossover races in a future game. Just a thought
