[quote who="UrQuanian" reply="2" id="3664673"] One thing they should remember is to keep the physics real, they shouldn't spoonfeed us the planets once we're in a planet system, we have to navigate our way towards the planet (work for it, fight the elements, gravity rocks, asteroids like in SC2.) Spoonfeeding the planets by auto navigation would make it non-rewarding, in hyperspace, you should have the option to let autopilot take you to your destination BUT no tricker

Cuorebrave Module - replaces the melee music with the Benny Hill Theme, and all sounds with comedical slapstick sounds. Additionally, each time an alien tells a funny joke, you hear a rimshot drumroll. PS: I know which mod I'm going to make as soon as SC:O comes out ;).

[quote who="Volusianus" reply="39" id="3664711"] So, in the event that someone at Stardock goes "3v3 just isn't happening ever, period. Not even in dlc or an expansion", could the AI code from that be salvaged in the way of a drone module? I.e. a module that allows you to launch 1-2 smaller AI-controlled drone crafts that will focus your target. [/quote]SCO is not going to be moddable to include 3v3?

Bridge Color Module - Changes the color of your bridge randomly from orange to green to purple to blue. If anyone asks about it the ship automatically goes to red alert. Shiny Ultra Thingy Module - Is an artifact which, to the attuned, conveys great foresight into the immediate future of the human race. Be wary, it's very fragile.

Reply to When will we get the december update? in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

[quote who="Volusianus" reply="20" id="3661893"] Actually, the Founder's program doesn't state that there will be a monthly update, just that we'll get in-depth, early access behind the scenes info periodically. Ideally, it's every month, but sometimes that's not the case. I'm pretty sure there was another month without an update (I'm drawing a blank, but I know it happened once or twice). We didn't pay for monthly updates, brotato. We paid to be first.<br

[quote who="Volusianus" reply="16" id="3661856"] I mean, they never explicitly said there WOULD be a December update either.

[quote who="Volusianus" reply="14" id="3661841"] Or you could be patient and expect it late. Iirc, it was late last year too. Yeah, looking through my downloads, there was no December package, unless I'm missing one. Oh, wait, there was a background last year, but that was it. There doesn't necessarily need to be a download every month. [/quote] The only thing they needed to do was tell when it wasn't going to come :).

Reply to When will we get the december update? in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

It hasn't happened. Atleast they could've told us, with the new producer, vaelzad and frogboy on these forums. Then again, as a Star Control fan I'm probably likely to get disappointed often :)

[quote who="wizisi2k" reply="11" id="3661778"] latest for 2016 is tomorrow (which I HIGHLY doubt). Stardock is closed after that until the second. So, if not today, the third is when we get the December update. For this info, look at the note at the top of the thread where it says they're closed for the holidays.

Reply to Planet design real or comical ? Harvesting ? in Star Control StarControl Forums

The planets are now tennis ball sized, so they could be a lot bigger but I'm a fan of the general style. Not sure if it works well when you start discovering strange alien energy signatures on the planet. I think whatever is on the planet is visible too early if they keep the tennis ball size.
