I would also really like to have some say in the type of planet. Even with a procedurally generated space, you can enter hard coded variables that have to be used. It could take some time but, as a developer myself, I would spend a day or two forcing it in if it would make a few hundred hardcore fans very happy.
There's The Ur-Quan Masters and I agree that there's not a lot to improve about it while still keeping the original game underneath.
Did you mean that they no longer count key activated reviews for the game score?
If Stardock wants feedback on their ideas and updates, what better place to put said feedback than in the thread about said update?
Local and internet multiplayer can come together, even from small teams, as Magicka has shown us. Will they have the time, resources and manpower to bring them both to the expected level of polish, I sure hope so.
I actually think it's cool. It's like the mod tools are specifically directed at total conversions and making your own Star Control story. I think it'll be awesome.
The latest email I received (the one telling me my planet name was approved) mentioned that Founders can get Star Control early builds from Steam via a personally delivered key. But I didn't see any key anywhere. Was that a mistake in the email or did I miss something?
