I enjoy little nods like this, but you need to be careful with the amount. Too many feels distracting and like an attempt to cover up not having original ideas.

I don't know the story of why Venus looks this way, but I really like this screen a lot. Everything about it really. The planet... the color.

I'd guess that the same "Leroy Jenkins" issue mentioned regarding AI allies crops up in a 1 vs 3 AI situation. Not saying it wouldn't be fun though.

I personally don't care much about local multiplayer as I'd never use it. But...it really is one of the things that comes to mind when I think of the Star Control series as a whole. It really should be there.

Reply to Developer's Log (August 2016) in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

Initial thoughts: Space Exploration - looks good, looks like what I would expect. Glad they are keeping it traditional looking. Planet Exploration - still not totally sold on the cartoonish planets. I'm liking these looks more that the initial art we saw a few months back. I might be more accepting of it if Venus wasn't covered in giant mushrooms. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Alien Quests - not much to say here. Looks right to me.

[quote who="Xenove" reply="5" id="3644509"] Have some "reputable" journalists link Starcontrol with Pokemon Go (would that make it Starcontrol go??). Something like "Will Starcontrol reboot be able to catch on like Pokemon Go?" That will get you a lot of publicity with all those clicks and searches of Pokemon Go linking to Starcontrol....

Searched my email, still have the founder's invite but nothing about the discounted version. Not a problem, not like I want to switch.

Reply to May 2016 Update in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

I'm on the bandwagon with urging the devs to rethink alien themes playing prior to meeting the race for the first time. I think it introduces a 'cheat' mechanic and hurts the sense of exploration. That said, I do like the races specific music playing after first contact. It adds personality.

Reply to Star Control Founders: February 2016 Status in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

Thanks for the update. Looking good. Still digging in the vault but what I got so far: 1) Solar System Exploration: Perfect. Nailed it 100% imo. 2) Combat: I like the idea of seeing the entire solar system in the fight, but it throws off the sense of scale for the ships (not that it was great in SC2 or anything) and I'm finding it distracting. Like I'd spend too much time dodging planets instead of forming/deploying a strategy for the figh

Reply to The planet design in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

I liked the colour coding and distance hints in SC2. I was pretty happy once I figured it out. It's a good system imo. It's subtle enough for the folks who like to explore every planet, but gives enough info for people that just want to hunt exotics.

If all endings are a win scenario then my choices are pointless. I like being evil as much (or more) as the next guy, but I don't expect the hero ending for doing it.
