Ur-Quan is amazing! I mean, they all look good, but Ur-Quan stands out in particular.

Thanks. It's one of my personal favorites. I have a wallpaper sized of the Ur-Quan pic available here too. It looks really neat animated, and in-game too.
In case anybody is wondering, as far as release dates are concerned I'd like to have the game available by the end of the year. I could release something everybody could play with sooner but that's going to require some help. We've got the game running at 4 times the original resolution. But now there's a bunch of small (and easy?) bugs with melee. For example, weapons shoot 1/4th their distance, ships 1/4th their speed, etc. But I've got a ton of work just doing the art assets. So if any programmers would like to help, let me know.

That sounds like a simple adjustment of some constants, or multiplying some of the constants by 4 before using them. Unfortunately, my experience with C is minimal and I recall Star Control II's code to be a bit difficult to navigate, so while I could do the former solution easily, I have no idea how to do the latter solution. Out of curiosity, is the HD mod based on 0.6.2 or the SVN? I seem to remember reading that 0.7 has cleaner code than 0.6. I guess that must also apply to this mod if it was based on the SVN.

Right. Nothing terribly difficult. It's currently based on the 6.9 code base. I haven't had a chance to see the differences yet between 6.9 and 7.0.

Just another update (am I able to edit existing posts?), this time... the Pkunk:
First the original:
And Kwayne's HD remake:
And for the largest in-game pic of the Pkunk Fury:
And Zenzmurfy's Pkunk Fury ship:
1st one is an enlarged view, second one is closer to in-game size.

Well. I'm still waiting for a TFB sequel 
Anyways. New pic. The original Hypnotoad! To spruce up the original (which just had a gray background), I added a light source from the bottom too. I could imagine the light pedestal being something to keep him warm.
Dynarri Talking Pet

That podship is just... amazing.
Heh. Serves me right for sending messages through my phone while at the Gym. Yes. v0.6.9 I tried to get version 7.0 but my Flux capacitor is on the fritz.
