I'm gonna put this here, rather than GalCiv forums, because this is a better audience for this... I really think the Galactic Civilizations races in the game so far are stereotypical, humanoid nonsense and it really makes me a bit fearful to hear that Stardock is going to be making up their own new races for Star Control Reboot. We are going to need some real inspiration here. I just purchased the GalCiv III beta over the weekend, as I was a die-hard fan of the first and

Hey guys!! Not much newsworthy stuff these days... but I saw this over on the Pages of Now and Forever - seems like everyone still remembers Star Control fondly. Notice anything special about this Angry Birds level?!? http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/angry-birds-seasons-the-pig-days-level-2-12-walkthrough/ So much win!
I swear I must be the first (only) person to catch this, but I have a sneaky feeling there's a closet Star Control II lover on the Civilization: Beyond Earth Dev Team. Check it out, they just released the pre-order bonus planets you'll get if you pre-order the game, and one of them is this: Eta Vulpeculae b: A mysterious new discovery with unknown terrain. Hmmmmm.... and Star Control players recognize this? And out of a million-billion star sys
thanks Brad - we'll hold you to it!
Aw, E3 came and went without so much as a peep about the new Star Control - I was really hoping we'd hear at least SOMETHING! Any news? It's been 6 months since anyone on the net has even wrote ANYTHING on this game! No chance it'll become vaporware, right?! RIGHT?!?!?!?!
What about Urquan Masters ADMIRERS, like myself?! LOL Are we getting an update on Star Control soon, Brad?
saw this just get published and it brought a tear to my eye! Everyone still remembers Star Control II! It (unofficially) won the BEST classic PC game - OF ALL TIME. http://kotaku.com/the-game-that-won-our-classic-pc-games-list-if-it-ha-1349952997
I wonder if Stardock will pull the cast out of ONLY the existing races? Or if some will be new? Or what the ratio will be - mostly new races, or mostly existing?
[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="6" id="3384148"] I never played StarControl. What kind of game it is? I mean, genre? Checked the videos and it seems a bit like Weird Adventures in Infinite Space...is that right?[/quote] Genre...genre....genre...........? Uh, a little help here? What GENRE would Star Control fall into? We'll have to combine a few: Epic Space Opera Role-Playing Exploration Open-World Point-and-Click (with no points or clicks) Resource-Gathering One
This is an AMAZING point!!! Ugh, I'm so sick of Mass Effect type aliens - ALL of them were 2-armed, 2-legged humanoid aliens (with slightly weird faces) who acted like humans and spoke perfect English. Give me *happy campers*!!
Yes! Good call! On top of all the seriousness, there was a sense of not ever taking anything TOO seriously! And there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments! And I wholeheartedly support making this a brand new game, a "reboot" as has been stated (love both the old AND new XCOM), as long as y'all stay true to what made Star Control Star Control. So with these very basic guidelines in mind, you guys have the entire galaxy to create! Finally, you're right, I
Stardock Devs - I remember a long time ago (I think 2008) when Stardock commented that they would LOVE to get the rights to Star Control to continue that saga. When I read those words, I hoped and prayed for FIVE YEARS this day would come. And it finally has!! To which I say, CONGRATULATIONS!!! There's not a game more near and dear to my heart than SCII. I remember making my own, hand-drawn strategy guide with my best friend back when I was 11 and had noth
