Doesn't sound like you are much of a fan of SC.

It doesn't matter how much I'd want to play a game if I'm simply unable to.

Sorry if I was harsh. I guess I thought that everyone had access to a PC.

He has a pc, but he's running Linux! A different operating system.

To Oldlaptop:
Pardon me if I come off as horribly ignorant with this statement, but don't you Linux guys have that WINE thingy that can play most Windows games or so?

Yes, very much so - not everything works though, although it's certainly possible to write software with WINE in mind (this is how the Picasa Linux "port" works if I recall correctly).

My understanding (and I could certainly be wrong about this) is that, while Atari owns the Star Control trademark, Fred and Paul own the actual content of SC1 & 2. It's difficult for me to get excited about the prospect of a Star Control game without the Ur-Quan, Spathi, etc. I have no idea what sort if contractual obligations Fred and Paul have with Activision. I suspect that the company I work for would take a dim view of me working with a competing company, but my impression is that Wizards is more restrictive than usual about that sort of thing. Hopefully a deal can be made that includes the creative heart of Star Control.

EDIT: Whoops, this point was made in the other two treads about this topic. Sorry for the redundancy!

I don't know if it's relevant anymore but both stardock and a renegade group of fans are trying to produce SC3. I don't know how far stardock is in the process, but so far they haven't started. Then there's project 6014 being developed along with this topic

Um... This topic is about the stardock game.

Eth has a good point. If I don't misunderstand, they've bought the rights to the name and the exclusive races from the third game I guess.

just make a wiki abot it instead of guessing and second-guessing everything

Oh, right, they got access to... those guys. On the bright side, since they own the rights, they're perfectly allowed to totally reimagine them.

Maybe I am being dim now, but let me get this 100% straight:

They only have access to the races from SC3, or?
