Re: The official annoucement of the lawsuit settlement was made...
Great news! Now lets hope that whatever they come up with is actually decent - can they catch lightning in a bottle again?

Re: Games other than Star Control
I found Battle Brothers a little to grindy, though that was a pretty early version. I'm currently switching between Crusader Kings 3, which is extremely confusing, and Angband, which is extremely frustrating. Everyone seems to be banging on about Hades, is it worth a shot?

Re: Let's talk about Star Control 3.....
I loved the mods in SC1. You could make some seriously busted ships with them. A VUX with decent thrust and turning is pretty nasty, but a Yehat with a couple dynamo upgrades was just unbeatable.

Re: Games other than Star Control
Interesting. I'm fine to back a game but don't think I'd ever invest. Seems chancy. In the long interim before Phoenix Point's arrival, I am playing the Final Modpack for the original UFO: Enemy Unknown. It really adds a lot of cool shit to the base game. A bit of item clutter but overall I think it...

Re: Where are you heading?
How did it pan out?
I don't commute but I do a lot of mindless number crunching at work and podcasts are my saviour. Would go absolutely mad without them.

Re: Games other than Star Control
I'm super excited about the forthcoming Phoenix Point. Cthulhu-ish XCOM thing from the designer of the original. They were some of my faves and Gollop seems pretty ambitious with a complex strategy layer as well as the tactical turn-based combat. https://phoenixpoint.info/ First that, and now Fred a...

Re: Ghosts of the Precursors
My goodness. Well, I'm excited. Could they Kickstart (or otherwise crowdfund) it?

Re: Sequels strife
Drama! In our own tiny corner of the internet. I'm not sure I'm a fan. F&P have been strongly convinced for a long time that they fully own Star Control 1/2 and have rights to all future products in the universe (including non-game), with the exception of the name "Star Control." This is something t...

Re: Reddit noticed us
Good to see that other people have fond memories of the game, even if they have joined a terrible forum like reddit instead of this bustling hive of starcontrollery.
