[quote who="ermighty" reply="17" id="3654471"] Is it still possible to name a planet? If so I'll upgrade to a Lifetime Founder immediately [e digicons]:)[/e] [/quote] That was only for the original Founders program.

Founders Vault is here. https://www.starcontrol.com/vault

Welcome to the Star Control forums! We are excited to have you here to both current and new fans of Star Control. The forums are a great place to interact with other Star Control fans, and to help give feedback as we progress through the development of the game. We want to welcome you and set a few rules and expectations for the forums. <span style

Welcome to the Star Control community! We had another welcome post, but I figured it would be a good time to start a new official one. So let's give a welcome to the community and introduce yourself! My name is Spencer, known around here as Island Dog. I am Stardock's Technology Evangelist and Community Manager. If you need anything related to the community please feel free to contact me. :)

[quote who="cuorebrave" reply="8" id="3653652"] I thought there were like 500 founders? Where's all the planet names!! I don't think there could possibly be 500 names on that list, but maybe my eyes deceive me. [/quote] I don't have the exact number, but I believe the original Founders were kept to a minimum since we did the surveys to get into that. For whatever reason, not everyone will participate in the planet naming even though they have the opportun

[quote who="cuorebrave" reply="18" id="3653727"] I imagined getting on here every day with hundreds of other adoring fans, examining IN DETAIL, all the fun things the developers throw our way, and offering input and constructive criticism with 500 other people, going back and forth and analyzing every little thing, really getting into the meat of the game with hundreds of other people who adore Star Control as much as I do... Instead, I get you two. The ONLY two people that po

[quote who="IBNobody" reply="8" id="3653481"] What structure would work? We'd need more interaction with SD for any structure to work better. This is probably the first game of theirs I've been associated with with such little day-to-day interaction between forum fans and the dev team. Granted, my previous interactions were when SD was much smaller, but still... [/quote] We're working on getting the forums organized which will be important as we will have a

[quote who="Awkbird" reply="76" id="3653311"] I'm sure they find merit (or at least entertainment) in the posts here, but unless they're actively prompting us for specific answers -- which they really haven't since we're basically a sounding board for the early content so far -- it's pretty pointless to be concerned or uncharitable with what they've provided to us up to now. Development is way too early to be getting all worked up about anything. May

[quote who="HenriHakl" reply="83" id="3653473"] I'm still in favor of a "full" alien view. However, as an intermediate possibility, I could warm up to the idea of having a "zoom in" kind of full-alien view that starts as a hologram in cockpit view and then goes "full". The downside to that approach is that it probably will only be cool the first two/three times, then not matter. I guess it's a good idea that makes more sense for a game that is first-person t

The original Founders program is no longer available, so it is not available for purchase from back then. [quote who="Poman33" reply="2" id="3653119"] I would love to be involved if I can in any way. What do I need to do? [/quote] As Hunam_ said, the program will be opened again soon so just stayed tuned to the site and our social media for news. :)

[quote who="Hunam_" reply="24" id="3652714"] ^ You're welcome! Can we get to know the weight of our influence? Did we even affect anything? Something?.. Were we even useful at all? [/quote] We look at all feedback that is posted and make note of them for the team to check out. I can't say what is affected and what is not, but the feedback and posts we get are certainly useful. :) [quote who="cuorebrave" reply="26" id="3652718"] God, you tw

Thanks for some of the feedback so far. We do appreciate taking the time to post. :)

Moving this out of the Founders forum. Please keep posts there only for game specific threads. :)

If you happen to be on some of the various social networks, be sure to follow or like some of the Star Control social media pages. Star Control on Twitter <a href="https://www.facebook.com/officialstarcontrol/?ref=bookmarks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferre

Moving this out of the Founders area. Lets keep the Founders area to game specific topics so we can keep it easy to manage. :)

[quote who="IBNobody" reply="2" id="3652204"] No sticky = confirmation that the feature was cut. [/quote] That's not the way it works. :)

Kotaku Australia has a quick article up on Stardock Control! "It’s a move designed not to interfere with the canon of the first three games that were released in the 1990’s. But perhaps of more interest is the fact that more staffers from Ashes of the Singularity and Offworld Trading Company have now been redeployed to work on Star Control, making it Stardock’s biggest game ever. “The new Star Control game is the biggest game

[quote who="Awkbird" reply="1" id="3649513"] Nice. One question: what if we submit a name that's already in the game? It's been confirmed there are thousands of worlds to explore. If by chance we use our submission on a name you guys already came up with, do we get an alternate submission? [/quote] That would be something we would most likely handle on a case-by-case basis.

Thanks for being a Lifetime Founder for Star Control! Grab your space helmets and your thesaurus, friends - it's time for you to name a planet

The link for GalCiv 3 should be here: http://wiki.galciv3.com/index.php/Main_Page You should be able to signup to any of the wikis and login. I've made the captcha issue known to the devs.

Yeah, it should be all good now.

[quote who="The_Think_Tank" reply="96" id="3616865"] So I got the Founder's Program acceptance email but I currently don't have the money to afford it, I am keeping the email flagged until I can purchase the lifetime edition but I am wondering if there is an expiration date on these? Thanks in advance! [/quote] I believe it still should be good.

I think we'll see some cool stuff this year. :)

You can use anything that won't show publicly. I recommend Dropbox or OneDrive.
