Aw, there are MMOs that have PvP modes. I don't really prefer those, however; I'd rather have games with a good reason for co-op play...an AI enemy that'll stomp us all into dirt if we don't defeat it. (I think there was such a game, where the universe would reset itself every few weeks if the players or the enemy won. Can't remember what that was, tho...)

[quote] Yes to isometric ship views....[/quote] Yeah...that's really my only wishlist-item right now. Everything else is curiosity, really. Like...will there be an alien-crafter to go along with planets and ships? I mean for the story-building mode...or will we have to use the shipped SCO species? I'd love a Spore-style alien builder...I'm just curious how that'll work.

Well, there isn't much else I feel I'd want now, given what I've seen so far. There is one thing and I posted about it, but I don't even know whether they've read it; there were no replies, not even telling me to get stuffed, so... Basically, I was asking for improvement in ship selection, making the icons more of a front view than top--some ships I've built are really hard to identify from above; even just a slight angle would b

Okay, I went to one of those sites and counted; you're welcome. I got to five hundred ninety-six, but I probably missed out one or two...call it 600. ...for whatever that's worth.

I'm finding a lot of lists of SC2 star systems, but none of them have a total, a count. Frustrating. ...but it's definitely less than 3,000, which--if I remember correctly--is roughly the number we're promised by Stardock. So...

Okay, a less flippant answer: I don't know. I really don't; "playing it" was actually quite honest, even if I was being a brat. I mean, there are so many aspects to a Star Control game, and I could never pick a favorite. And I don't know all of the changes that have been made and whether they will enhance the experience or make me go, "Oh, puh- LEASE! "; what I've seen so far looks cool, but...you never know. So many re-boots, re-makes, and sequels to gam

I've been playing games since before there was an internet; my first computer was a TRS-80 Color Computer 2. And while I loved a good action game, the best games were the ones with a strong story. I grew up on Sierra: King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, even Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of Lounge Lizards. And then there were the RPGs--and boy, has that term gotten watered down in recent years!--like Ultima V and Fallout. None of those games were multi-play

FEEDBACK: Ship Icons/Selection in Star Control Ideas/Wishes StarControl Forums

Originally posted this in the main forum; forgot this sub-forum existed. Maybe I'm the only one having this difficulty, but I often find it a little challenging to pick out a ship during the selection process, and a huge part of that is the disconnect between the ship I've crafted and the icon created for it. For example: </p

Anyone who doesn't love Star Control eats yellow snow. That right. You heard me. [e digicons]:hrmph:[/e] I actually haven't been waiting for a good SC sequel for years...cuz after SC3, I thought the franchise was dead. When I heard about SCO and saw what content was already available, it awakened such childish glee as the world has never seen. And that's only grown the more I see. Also...I've never played Sin of a

Reply to Star Control: Spring 2018 Q & A catch-all in Star Control StarControl Forums

[quote]but actually my earlier post wasn't just towards StarDock. seems that there have been fewer customer posts lately as well.... [/quote] Aww, I knew what you meant; I was just saying why I hadn't posted much lately. (I can't speak for anyone else, obviously, but it wouldn't shock me at all to discover that's is why there's all this silence.) I check back at least once a day, still. Just to see.

Reply to Star Control: Spring 2018 Q & A catch-all in Star Control StarControl Forums

Hate to say, but...there'z not much to say. Kinna waiting for the next update, myself; crafting is getting kind of old, I'm a bit fleet-battled out without new content--new weapons or other devices--and I really just wanna play the adventure at this point. Well, or if they could release the planet editor, that'd be awesome, too. But beyond that...well...what's to say? Dead horse, well-beaten.
