If they want to make money and revive the franchise they ought to make it mostly a tactical/melee in 3d game.  Then, when they have perfected it, they make one that has all that plus the plot.

I think I approve of this message.

As somebody that loved SC1 & 2 for the other aspects of the game more so than for combat, I hope they don't go that route.

  I think that there's nothing wrong with the simple top-down Spacewar-style combat.  It's intuitive for non-hardcore gamers.  I'd like to see some sort of genre departure from the previous two games, something new, but I think that the combat is classic and shouldn't be messed with.

PROTOSTAR! and their Pkunk oil!

World of Warcraft is sort of like a distantly related 3d version of Archon(which is a character based ancestor of Starcontrol) with all kinds of game characters and unique powers.
