[quote who="gabryelx" reply="13" id="3604343"] I think logs and ruins are a great idea, anything that continues stkry or backstory. Especially with precursor artifacts, there's a treasure trove of possibility. I'll never forget that initial moment of intrigue in SC2 for discovering that signal on Pluto at the beginning, it was like an instant hook. [/quote] Agreed. Finding the outpost was the start of intrigue of landing on planets after that. &n

I would have to say I'm not a fan of the cartoony look of the planets. I appreciate the level of creativity, but I'd like the game to feel I'm exploring a more believable universe. Otherwise, to me, it would be like i'm exploring cartoon land at Disney. Without seeing more, I'd have to say I like the looks of the planets in the 2nd 4x4 photo. Even though they LOOK similar, i'm sure artists could come up with different looking ones for baren, frozen, rocky,

Hmm...not sure I like the idea of no wrap-around and it being just an out-of-bounds area, but then again, I haven't played it. Is there a possibility of a ship being "cornered" in the out of bounds area? If so, will that affect game play negatively? Just food for thought (from someone who hasn't seen anything yet!)

Reply to A weapon I'd like to see in SC2 in Star Control Ideas/Wishes Stardock Forums

I'd like to see an ability for a "warp point mine" that a ship could warp to instantly, say to either get behind an enemy or escape. Maybe have it slowly charge, limited use, or have it use "people" health. Perhaps another would be a hologram decoy ship, where you could project a few decoy ships and confuse the enemy on which ship is actually yours.

Just one? Well, that'll cut the thread posts down for sure! Hmm...just one. Just one.... It would have to be when I figured out that the Rainbow Worlds made an arrow to the galactic core. My original poster map was marked up with tape and post-it notes, and had stickers for the Rainbow World locations. After so much searching, and a few game restarts, I found the last few ones. When I discovered them, it all came together on the included star map. A FREAK&

With 3D they could also do a lot of different filters. Not that I'm much of a fan of cell shading, but Team Fortress 2 is "cartoonish" and even artsy at times, even though it is 3D. Wait and see....

[quote who="Hunam_" reply="11" id="3594376"] I like the StarDrive alien graphics style alot more than 3D graphics from talk test video... [/quote] Ditto. 3D is just...meh. I love the original artwork, and the redone artwork of the HD version. 2D animation lends itself more to the "feel" of Star Control. But perhaps the 3D could be done in a 2D-style with filters. I'd have to see it to give an opinion.

There could always be the option of having the other ships add "bonuses" to the fight. Have a full complement of ships? 20% bonus in damage to the enemy if its just 12 vs 1. If its 12 vs 12, no bonus. 1 vs 12, well, the enemy gets the bonus. Just a thought.

I should have done this a while ago.... I played Star Control 1 on the Sega Genesis. It was by shear dumb luck that I bought the game when it first came out. I was bored with my current games, went to the store, and saw the clerk put it up on the wall behind the counter. I asked what the game was, he said "Something like Asteroids...probably stupid". I bought it anyways after looking at the back. I was hooked after my first game. When I h

I agree completely. Some side quests to improve your load out can be fun, but tiresome. To affect the gameplay, and perhaps the difficulty (not hassle-factor.....difficulty) of the game with your choices would be preferable. The story and characters need to have depth, beyond a superficial script. I hope the writers are well-equipped and talented enough to produce an engaging, yet changeable and interactive story. EDIT: Also,

Reply to Star Control: September 2015 update in Star Control Stardock Forums

Moving onto something constructive and out of the mire... The original Star Control II had a fixed amount of time that you had to get things done. You could lose the game easily enough just by pissing away time visiting planets and traveling, though events helped drive you in the right direction. I really enjoyed that sense of urgency, whether it be trying to get the Pkunk to turn around and not visit the Yehat, or having a growing threat such as the Probes (thoug
