[quote who="bleybourne" reply="153" id="3717155"] You guys DO get that one of the pillars of Star Control was always humor, right? It's like you expect SC:O to be some super-serious hard science fiction game. [/quote] While I completely agree with what you are saying about humor being one of the pillars of Star Control, there are different levels of humor. There's the smart humor, that's entertaining and witty, and there's humor on the level of a 5 year old... No offence, bu
[quote who="Knightpt" reply="144" id="3716921"] I'm not fond of the starbase girl. Too Jolly and cheerful and always making light-hearted remarks. I think i would like her to be more professional and serious. After all she is in charge of a multi-million RU starbase, we expect her to be more professional about it and it realy feels our mission is not as important because it feels the humanity space exploration it's lead by a teenager.

Landing I don't have issues with the current landing onto the planet. It does act as a barrier, as when landing is very turbulent, you need to get upgrades. I like that planet landing is not as large/involved part of the game as in "Long Journey Home". I'd like to like LJH, but I hate it with a passion due to the planet landing part. Uninstalled after an hour of frustration, and got a refund. I'm sure landing in Origins can be improved, but it works. W
[quote who="AuditYerTaxes" reply="113" id="3716616"] 4 more landers down, controls feel pointless. I don't see what making landing a mini game adds to the overall game, It will be the most bitched about thing post release if it stays in the game. The general populace will HATE it. Landing for resources is a big part of star control, and I see no evidence this is going to change. We don't do manual landings with space craft in 2018...I doubt we'll go back to it in 2088.<
[quote who="Ph4z3r" reply="106" id="3716586"] - Would be nice if the landing zone came available much zippier after you have chosen it. Even if you are just next to it on the planet screen, it still takes quite a while for it to come landable. [/quote] Similar thought on landing zone. Plus it takes a while to focus on it, and it gets old... A good solution would be: on first click/Enter it starts moving towards the landing zone. While it's moving towards landing zon
@Frogboy - what are your thoughts on quicksave/quickload? Are you planning on adding that functionality? I really like the way quicksave works in Wasteland 2: There are 3 quicksave slots, working as FIFO: oldest one gets bumped off, and you always have 2 backups in case you inadvertently quicksaved when you meant to quickload Quickload loads latest quicksave
[quote who="Culture19" reply="92" id="3716491"] I for my part find landing easy, but offcourse the more difficult the planets atmosphare is, the harder the landing Will be. [/quote] Same here. I don't have any issues with landing. Landing on some planets is much harder than on others, but I assume that will be compensated later on in the game by buying some sort of better lander / lander stabilizers?
[quote who="veraxus" reply="87" id="3716453"] Some of the art and textures look very blurry and/or pixelated at 4K. The Tywom’s ship background art for instance, as well as Saturns rings, and character textures in dialog. At 4K there is a line running horizontally through the middle of the screen when talking to the Tywom.

[quote who="Matt Caspermeyer" reply="67" id="3716256"] There needs to be a keystroke or button to click in the planet orbit screen to center the object's landing zone so that you can easily launch your ship. I found that once I rotate it and look around, that it would be nice to return it automatically to the landing zone being centered so that I can easily click the box and then the Ready to Launch button rather than having to do it manually. This would help streamline this part of the

[quote who="JerkClock" reply="289" id="3709099"] Yep, and once the you realize Reich is being a copyright fascist working for a 3rd party company, the parallel is hard to unsee.

[quote who="SWVRoma" reply="283" id="3709048"] I must be that rare breed of Star Control fan that played SC1 and SC2 when he was young (I was born in '84) and outright support Stardock's side in this. I see what SCO is, what it has the potential to be. I -want- that. Meanwhile, I've seen nothing I personally consider playable from Fred and Paul for the last twenty-five years. Right now, they seem like two (albeit talented) old men throwing a tantrum because t
[quote who="Talonious" reply="276" id="3709027"] Because I think part of the previous near-universal acceptance of the fanbase for Origins being a Star Control game has been tied to the endorsement of the franchise founders that it is one and is being made with the blessings and the input from the people who made the two first beloved games. (As opposed to Star Control 3 which I personally liked and enjoyed quite a bit but many of the fanbase don't consider to be a "real" Star Control
>> However, unless an amicable agreement is reached, you're risking basically breaking the Star Control base. Hey Talonious. First off, I do wish that things didn't get to where they are now, and instead (in a perfect world scenario) both parties were working, maybe even in cooperation, on new game(s). But, with that said... How and why would not reaching an amicable agreement break the Star
[quote who="mystral21" reply="58" id="3697605"] I have more faith on Stardock than on Paul and Fred. Stardock try to solve the situation and P&F try to create anger. [/quote] Agreed 100%. Anyway, screw Paul and Fred, they made us wait 25 years before even announcing intention to make another game, and THAT itself was triggered by Stardock. Go Stardock go!
This was much better, in my opinion, than the "Star Trek Discovery" garbage... [e digicons]8(|[/e]
Darker uniform is definitely a plus. But, I also have trouble taking her seriously with the "rebellious teenager" highlights. She is a commander, not a high school cheerleader... A little less smug attitude and more serious would also be a plus.
