guesst [/glow]link=board=Gendiscuss;num=1051892456;start=15#28 date=05/06/03 at 17:24:52]You know, I'm getting real fusking tired of people who don't get that THE GAME CAN NOT BE NAME "STAR CONTROL," "STARCON" OR "STARCONTROL" IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM WITHOUT PUTTING MONEY IN ACCOLADE'S POCKET! If I had the rights to I'd delete any bone headed suggestion to that effect.
i didnt realize that accolade owned the name "star con." so id watch my temper. telling someone nicely gets a better responce and doesnt make you look like an ass. but if thats how you wanna look, who am i to stand in your way... ~DEFIANT

Stop the drunken posting, Kirk. "Call to Arms" is a good subtitle, but you don't need to mention it 100 times in the form of a haiku or whatever the heck you're doing.

how many syllables does a haiku have? 17?

I personally like "Attack of the Spathi"

"Lord of the Ultron" anyone?

Uhhh, because it's fun to play, and a challenge to write code for?

I think a better question would be, "why post if you can't contribute anything meaningful to the discussion, like punctuation?"

I'm pretty sure even if the Orz and Androsynth and Dnyarri become the central issue in any future titles, it's still likely that the Ur-Quan themselves will play a significant if not crucial role in the story. I don't see why any future titles can't also be named The Ur-Quan Masters. Star Control 2 after all, had no Star Control vessels within it whatsoever, unless you count the Tobermoon. Even if you wanted to change the title to accurate reflect the changing times, you can still call it the 'Ur-Quan Conflicts' to reflect Star Control 1's original subtitle. Unless for some bizarre reason the Ur-Quan start allying with you and rally to your case (and collectively pilot Dreadnoughts and assume the Path of Ceaseless Vigilance, etc etc.)

Phfft. Like that'll ever happen. The only reason a Ur-Quan would call for peace is to re-load their weapons. (Unless you're a fan of SC3, in which case the Ur-Quan evolve into pansy asses.)
Perhaps the aspect of calling it UQM or UQC (Ur-Quan Conflicts) is not so bad. I guess you're right. Even if the Orz start to take over, I doubt the Ur-Quan wouldn't have their fingers in it somehow. I wouldn't be surprised if the next game took you *below* to fight the Orz and you discover the Ur-Quan already there.

Hey, I just had an idea. What would be the effect of nameing the game StarC with a cool new logo?
I don't know the legalities of splitting hairs like this, but is StarC too much like StarControl that it would infringe on Assolades iron grip?

IANAL, but I think a name would be illegal if there could reasonably be confusion with the trademarked name. As long as you're trying to have the name resemble 'Star Control', I'd say you're at risk.
