You can't and should NEVER GROW mayonaise...

Okay, so here we are, trying to rebuild one of the best games on the planet. Nevermind PC/3DO blah blah blah. I think it's time we all started thinking about what the next installment of this wonderfull universe should contain. I played and beat SC3 long ago and I can tell you I was just as dissapointed with it in most of it's respects as most all of you were.
It is my simple belief that we should ignore the fact that SC3 even existed and work toward bringing about a truly worthy successor to something that has brought us all together here for discussion and debate. (all of which, might I add, is totally AWESOME in my opinion.) I know we've all discussed this topic about a million times, but I don't think we've ever reached any kind of concrete result on the matter.
My point is:
1) We all LOVE this game.
2) We all seem to have an opinion.. (well doesn't everyone?)
3) WE can do something about it!
4) In a cooperative invironment, there's nothing stopping us, aside from TFB being too busy to go "HEY! That's not cool.. Change that sh*t!!"
We will of course need TFB's help on this. Also remember. We have a TON of talented people on this forum (eg: music, graphics, coding, etc..) that would be willing to work for peanuts or even NOTHING just to see this game come to fruition and see their name in the credits.
This could be a HUGE boone for TFB if we just lend a hand and care less if we "get paid" or not. After all, isn't this story worth putting in the effort?
I for one, as I'm sure the rest of you have about 50 million ideas as to what this game could be. If we help out TFB in this fashion, they get more cash.. Which means they can put out more kick-ass games. Which also means, we ALL benefit.
So... Whaddya say?
Arcain.

Story by committee never works. Do any of you guys remember trying to write an essay in a group in high school? It was impossible to do it all together--the only way it would work would be to send one guy home to write it, bring it back the next day and have everybody look at it and make suggestions and changes. If we're going to write a story, the actual writing has to come down to one guy. Then we can play with it all we want once it's done, but one guy has to do the writing to start with.

That's assuming TFB has the time for even that. Writing a plot like that is a long, time-consuming process--especially one that's as open-ended as the one in SC2.

They don't own the "Star Control" name first of all. Infogrames does. That's probably the biggest thing standing in their way; though they could still make a new game if they wanted, it wouldn't be able to have that name, and would lose some points in the market for it.

Why would they? If they have no plans to do anything more with the, erm, "franchise", then buying the rights to a name that they never intend to do anything with is, quite frankly, pissing away money.
I for one would much prefer to see them devote their resources to their current projects (whatever they might be) rather than have them flog a dead horse in the Berman/Braga/Lucas tradition.

That explains why I just saw 4 Team members on Channel44 at the same time yesterday.
