I have pinned this post now for added signal boosting. It really is a great reference for new players learning how to play.
We are taking some questions from founders about lore and story in Origins. These all come under NDA but all founders are welcome to add their own question to this Google document. I would also like to take a moment to invite anyone who is not yet on the Discord server to come join us . Lore specific information is often shared there.</

One suggestion was to play with a minimal amount of quanta so players are limited in army size and upgrades. We are also moving this to a Sund

[quote quoting="post"] I just bought the founder's pack on the stardock site, but I can't find a link to the download. I see most people are using steam to download the beta. The link to the starcontrol download on my stardock games doesn't exist yet. Anyone have any advice? I'm hoping I'm missing something simple...

[quote who="hyunhochang" reply="7" id="3693018"] Hey SchismNavigator , I just tried to send you a message on the Discord server to verify my identity but the Clyde bot said the message couldn't be delivered. Should I just contact you through a pm here? [/quote] I don't block DMs. Try refreshing (Ctrl+R) and messaging me again. You can also mention me in the verification channel.

[quote who="denali42" reply="1" id="3691655"] How do I remove the "Join the Discord Channel" dialog in game? [/quote] That's a permanent link in-game to help get players on discord who do not read the forums. I am not aware of any option to disable it since that would kind of defeat the purpose.
Founders are going to be key in helping to inform other gamers what the new Star Control really is. Especially when it comes to those older gamers who are familiar with UQM. On the other hand having a brand new universe to explore should make it easier to introduce Star Control to a new generation. I just hope we can avoid any overreactions.
Please ignore the other posts. Accidental due to lag.

DMF: ST:D is set ten years before TOS . It has Pike, Kirk, Spock etc. around the same period. It even has Sarek in the pilot and has retconned Michael as Spock's adoptive sister that Sarek feels emotional over. It is a total retconning for those of us who grew up on TOS.
I agree with a lot of what Midnight and RLM have had to say about ST:D . Honestly, ST:D could be a decent "gritty" sci-fi show. In fact I am one of the trekkies who loved DS9 and have always had a place in my heart for shows like Battlestar Galactica or Black Mirror. Star Trek, however, should be a show that is optimistic or at least has a fun spirit to
Last episode was pretty damn stellar. It shows that it was a veteran Star Trek director handling it, but the writing (even the jokes) were on point too. Apparently, the next episode is going to be directed by Jonathan Frakes!
Development of any one feature takes time. Whilst there are a lot of things on the roadmap, we thought it would be a good idea if players get to influence which feature will be worked on next for the game. There are 10 features on the list and each one has engineering time in months associated with it. All of these features are planned in some way, but this is a chance to tell us which one you want to see come before the others. Choose wisely, because whichever feature is worked on fi
