[quote who="IBNobody" reply="8" id="3603951"] While we're on the subject of fleets and motherships... I'd like to be able to upgrade my fleet ships past their stock abilities. Please let us find artifacts that increase ship thrust speeds, turning speeds, weapon damage, etc. I enjoyed piloting a Vux ship that was souped up by Precursor artifacts in SC1. I missed that in SC2. It was kind of dull to have stock ships in the fleet. [/quote] Li

It's not the alien or art I'm referring to. I don't like the alien design either! It's the top right corner of the art, where it shows your fleet arranged in a Diablo style inventory system. It's like the modern point system from super melee! Bring along 4 badasses or 15 relative weaklings and is a great way to handle the issue!

[quote who="satoru1" reply="21" id="3603866"] Should I be terrified that there is such a thing as Star Control porn???? What is it... is there a script we should be reading? Is that canon? What exactly are the Spathi doing in their spare time... [/quote] Lol, hilarious. I think the actual Spathi Eluder ship is actually USED in said pr0n...
Super happy to be involved. Glad to see some humanoids got in here, and even more glad to see the design doc state that there will be NO HUMANOID ALIENS ALLOWED! Weeee!
Good to see you on here Awkbird and Hunam! I was hoping to see you both round these parts!
I just read through the design document and already found an amazing step in the right direction, regarding your associated fleet. Look at the picture of the rejected Thraddash... Er... THRAX. fleet overview, you can see some ships alongside your Vindicator... and they take up inventory space!! Omg, it's ingenious. So you can't have 20 CHMMR ships or Dreadnoughts... Maybe you can only fit 4? It makes total sense. Travel with 30 relatively weak THRAX Trashers, or 6 large, powerful Pods

This is the proudest day of my life. I can't believe after 20+ years I'll be involved with the new Star Control like this. My 12yo self's head would be exploding right now.

So so so so IN. EDIT: Hey, where's MY badge?!?
I always had this idea about a race where they were nomads, living on a single asteroid or cobbled-together mass of space-junk, that migrated around the galaxy. And if you so CHOSE, in the spirit of Star Controls' game-changers, you acquired some way to destroy said asteroid, obliterating every member of that race, taking them out of the game completely. Or conversely, you had to stop someone from doing the same. I think it would be a way to have a completely game-altering choic
I'd say: 1) Star Control II 2) The Fallouts (1,2,3,NV,4) 3) Tie between Skyrim/Oblivion/Morrowind and 3) Mount and Blade: Warband (single player only) 4) Any Infinity Engine RPG (Baldur's Gates, Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torment) 5) Multiple Open World Games (only the good ones) like Dying Light, Shadow of Mordor, etc. (not Assassin's Creed or the Arkham games) 6) Space Pirates and Zombies! 7) Civilization 2, 3,
[quote who="IBNobody" reply="27" id="3603095"] I'm going to catch flack for this... But this is what I thought of when I saw the alien. [/quote] Lol!! I think that's hilarious, and probably EXACTLY what they were going for!

[quote who="wuphonsreach" reply="24" id="3602988"] Eh, I started to fill out the survey, but it was way too long and detailed for this stage. [/quote] Dude, why even bother trying to become a founder for a game you couldn't spare 4 1/2 minutes to fill out a survey for? Your soul is weak, my child.

Are you saying you are IN the Founder's Program for Star Control??
[quote who="Rhonin_the_wizard" reply="57" id="3602261"] I think an in-game encyclopedia would be a good addition. You could learn some things from speaking with aliens, but the encyclopedia would be more detailed. Like the Codex from Mass Effect or the Civpedia from Civilizations. [/quote] Cool idea. It's like the old Star Control II manual. I read every page over and over for 10 years. It even featured the Androsynth and a whole history on them... who aren&#

[quote who="Androsynth" reply="6" id="3601704"] Despite my forum name, my favorite SC ships were always the Chenjesu Broodhome and Mmrnmhrm Transformer. with the Chenjesu I loved completing a slingshot around the planet for speed and just sniping people with there main attack from around the map. The Mmrnmhrm it was just always fun to be a dick and nickle and dime everything from range. Until you had to go snub nose with a Chmmr but hey sometimes you gotta roll the hard
It's funny how everyone always waxes poetic about the ships being so balanced, and I even tend to be nostalgic about the incredible balanced combat system... but when I think about it... REALLY think about it... there were clearly some ships that destroyed and others that were pretty much useless in the heat of battle. I mean... a Supox or a Shofixti or a Zoq Fot would never be able to take down an Urquan Dreadnaught or the CHMMR Avatar. Even your favorite Arilou would be pretty h
