Reply to Ship creator Suggestions in Star Control Ideas/Wishes StarControl Forums

- I would really like to be able to scale X, Y, and Z axes separately, to be able to make something thicker or narrower without also making it taller, and so on. - I would like X, Y, and Z indicators that show which was is forward, at the very least. I have only done it occasionally, but sometimes I've got a ship pointed in the wrong direction and it flies backward in the Fleet Battles. (I'd probably rotated the view, decided I didn't like what I had, deleted everything, started with

Is the current ship-crafting arsenal final? It seems like a lot of weapons at first, but after making a dozen or two ships, I'm finding the useful combinations kind of limited; every weapon has its pluses and minuses, but putting them together in a single ship can be a bit iffy sometimes. I mean, it seems like there are quite a few different methods of making the other side dead, but not all of them go together particularly well. And I can't help but not

This might be a (very pretty) bug... in Star Control StarControl Forums

I don't know what-in-Hades is going on with my engines, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be... I mean, that red trail should still be blue, right? I'm just sayin'. I didn't see a thread or sub-forum specifically for glitches, so I posted it here.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="11" id="3714416"]And in fact, a modder could create their very own adventure without having to write any code. [/quote] Actually, there is one thing I want to ask along these lines, since I wouldn't mind trying to build my own adventure, and that's this: will there be an alien-creator the way there is a ship-creator? I mean, part of the fun of playing SC is the interaction with the other alien races; if we're able

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="3" id="3714338"] That's pretty cool.[/quote] Thanks. :) [quote]Are you a professional 3D designer? [/quote] Well, yes and no. I worked in games back in 2001, did a thing or two for indie flicks, but mostly just my own work, for fun and for my YouTube channel. So, if you wanna be technical, I suppose the answer is 'yes'...but I'm not sure how much YouTube counts as 'professio

Reply to Star Control: So you want to build a planet? in Star Control Journals StarControl Forums

I asked this in another thread, but I'm gonna ask it again: if there is a world-crafting tool in the game--and if the menus are any indication, there will be--what will happen with player-created worlds? Will they somehow be integrated into the game? Will we be given the option to create our own galaxy? Our own story/game, if we want? What use beyond creating a planet for the fun of it will this tool provide for us?

Okay, so...if I'm reading this right, there will be a multiverse...and I see a World Builder in the Crafting menu (even if we can't access it yet). Other companies might license SCO to make an adventure in their own universe. Okay. But if there is a World Builder available to the players, does that mean there will also be a Galaxy Creator? Will we have access to tools that will allow us to make our own</e

Reply to What makes Star Control...Star Control? in Star Control StarControl Forums

1 - Star Control 2. I mean, 1 was great when it was new, but it was kind of primitive, and difficult to play after 2 came out. And 3 was garbage. Any Star Control game built to feel like a sequel to 2 will already be on the right track. And so far, that describes this one; everything I've seen makes me think it was built by fans of SC2. 2 - If what we're hearing in fleet battles is any indication, you guys already have the music down; what we've seen of the game so far <e

I have tried every level of difficulty, and I find it very difficult to lose. I suppose it's possible that I've just built some truly amazing ships, but...I don't think so.

Reply to Star Control ship submissions in Star Control StarControl Forums

Like 'em, do ya? I got, like, a double-wide buttload more; those were just the most picturesque of the lot...and some of the best-armed, as well. (The Gormon-Dagon Interceptor is almost unbeatable, if used right. Try it.) I certainly don't mind if the prettiest ones are re-armed by you lot, especially if you want some of the ones that look good but aren't quite as well-equipped.
