I'm so glad you love the artwork. The fact that people love it, and feel its loyal to the Star Control universe is one of the best compliments I could receive. I worked so hard for that. After all, I'm making this for you guys. I wish I could take credit for it all, the ship design was by the legendary Vile Rancour as well as the Earth stuff, the new bio-critters, and a bunch of little stuff few will notice like the updated Shofixti ship. The only work I did on the ship was making more of a 3d view that you see in the loading screen and in the intro screens. Most of the artwork is probably mine, but that's because I'm unemployed  and just have more time to work on the game
I wrote the Lurg dialog so somebody saying they love my dialog is awesome! At least in art, I know I'm in my element. Writing dialogue is a lot trickier than it seems. I love the Lurg, and it would be the one thing I'd love to see added in a real TFB Star Control sequel. I did all the Lurg artwork but not original design though. I'm sure more than a couple people know where I got the inspiration from  The idea for putting them in, was one of my rare moments of brilliance. The Lurg voice is the work of the infamous 'Mister Cat' who also did the music. His Spathi impression is dead on. I can't wait for more of his stuff. I've tried staying out of the writing as much as possible, because I'm such a fan, I want to be surprised. I looooove that the gas bags are back! Such a brilliant idea on how they were brought back. I still haven't come across the Melnorme yet. I tried the running out of fuel thing, but he never came. I put in Moosey, at the last minute, because there was nobody to talk to there. I thought it would get a laugh by going completely against expectations. Others thought it might be in bad taste. So, we want the community to decide. Should we kill her or let her live? "This ship is lame, can I get another one" "NO!" I assure you Admiral, by Grabthar's hammer, by the sons of Warvan, the full game will have ship customizations and mineral gathering! (sorry. It's 4am here, and I can't think of a Star Control reference) The Vux. I love my Vux drawing in the intro. I bet we'll see them again. Is there any races you guys don't want to see?
Bring on the grammar hammer. I don't think any of us are *gewd spellrz* and could use the help. Some of the problems are American vs. British spellings. Frankly, they hurt my American eyes.  Any ideas for witty remarks, PM me, and I'll see if we can't include them.

Admiral Zeratul:
Thanks for the feedback on the dialogue. Since that's my favorite thing to do in this project, I appreciate any hints and advice to make it even better! Could you PM me the specific bits in the conversations that seem too serious / have those pesky grammar errors?
I'm with dczanik here: Don't be afraid to bring out the grammar hammer. Make it a sledgehammer if you wish!
Valos Cor, I'm happy you liked the portal zoom-in... unlike dczanik, graphics is the one thing where I'm out of my element  -Good point you made with the remark regarding to Slylandros' "Not when we have got a taste of freedom in so many a Drahn..." ! I got to clarify that bit in the dialogue, since now it seems either inconsistent/unexplained. -Deviant is not a typo He's a complete perv. -Zeep-Reep is the way to go: wiki.uqm.stack.nl/High_Perch_of_Caer_Zeep-Reep -Escape from Lurg ship a la walking around Metroid-Fusion style? I would love to add completely new gameplay elements like that! But to be honest, it might be beyond my skill to implement such a change to the game... But we'll see what the tides of time bring our way -It would be consistent to be able to refuel at VUX station too, no matter how little they like that! -As for the rest of the future-plot related things I'll once again resort to my *mysterious silence* Everybody: BTW, have you seen the carrier inside a star system? Doesn't it look cute? |

So, here's my Pro's/Con's list so far: Pro's - Earthling Ships don't suck anymore. They can actually turn around. - Love the Slylandro disguised as Kor-Ah, as an Umgah joke to get them all killed - The new race, the Lurg look to be pretty fun. - Glad Rainbow worlds are still around. - Love the fat Syreen! "Not everyone can handle this much woman..." Con's - I miss the Spathi - The Melnorme don't actually give you fuel, they just tell you to contribute to the game and leave - I feel the game should start with all of the Alliance member's spheres available. I would think Zelnick would know where the Yeehat are, etc. - No coordinates when people mention star systems. When some one says: "Go to Alpha Mensae" I would have to search around for where it is, unless this version also has that search feature, which I forgot how to access >_<. - #@$%& KOR-AH Suggestions: - I would love to see Quasi-Space come back. The Arilou said at one point that they altered our DNA so we can't be "smelled" by the other beings in there, maybe that could change, and there could be some hostiles in there. Although I think this might be where you're going with the "Orz Bubble" - I'd like to see some anomalies in the universe, Black Holes, White Holes, Regions in a Nebula, Binary Star systems (not really an anomaly) - Flag ships. This was sparked by the use of the Chmmr/everyone else Explorer ship (but still mostly chmmr ) I'd like to see a flag ship or two, maybe destroyer class, for the races. Not up to Sa Matra scale, but sort of as a good defensive measure. - The Androsynth were clones created by humans to basically be servants. From what the starbase commander said, they were made to be super intelligent. I think it would be pretty cool if they went into that other "layer" of space, and came back as a hybrid, and messed up some Orz, fighting for space.
That's all I've got for now, I'll continue to poke around some random systems and see if there's anything I can comment on. So far, loving it, and loving the plot

I figured they would. I have absolutely no programming, or artistic skill what so ever, so all I have to offer is some plot advice So I'll just be that annoying voice in the background that yells out: "what if..."

Wow, the whole Veep-Reep-Neep-Zeep thing is very confusing indeed. No wonder we got a little lost there... Maybe we should just call her 'The Evil Queen'
