New Poster but been playing Star Control 2 since I was 5. Hope my two cents contributes a bit.

Love the work so far. You guys have stayed very true to the original game style (Even if my princess is in another castle)
My only real complaint is the map. The heavy revamp makes my old one useless (I still have the original SC2 Map) and I prefer using it over a star search. Any chance of you putting a PDF map up with everything labeled so we can print one out (One like the 35X25 map would be awesome!)
I love the new race concept though the ships lack the threatening power of the others. I hope we will get to see a battleship variant at some point
Only other comment I got I do remember where I have seen that guy before.
Great job in capturing the likeness.

Judge Yohance. Thanks so much for the input! I'm new to the forums myself. I've been a reader of the forums for quite a while now (since 2002?), so it was a bit surreal when I joined the team and got to work with some of the people I've admired from afar.
I'm pretty proud of capturing the likeness.
I'm personally too busy with the art to contribute to a map (at least at this time), and we only have one other artist. I'd love for the community to help us out here.
Actually if you guys can place just a list of the star systems up, we can use the map search function to gather exact coordinates of each system and possibly build a map on our own (Got to be a decent drawing program out there somewhere right? )

Questions, a few races are missing still I think (Couldn't locate the Supox, Utwig, Zoq-Fot-Pik to name the ones coming to mind) The home systems they came from don't appear on a map search. So three questions.
1) Are they around in new systems? 2) If not, are the old systems on the map somewhere? 3) If not to both, When/if they are included, will they be in new home systems or will the old ones be brought back to the map?

They're on there old star systems, above where all the alliance is. The top right corner of the map is actually the bottom left corner of the old map. The Zoq-Fot-Pik are above Bettlegeuse, and the Umgah above the Chmmr and the Mycon besides the Vux. You just can't access them.

We will produce a glossy map for this alogn the lines of the original. not a priority at the present though.
But you can't download it, so you can't create a mod. Anyway, I have no idea how to compile and run it. I can edit the code (not that well, but I can cope).

Use something like TortoiseSVN to do an SVN checkout.
While we are obliged to make the source code available, we hope that the general public will respect our wishes to not go poking around. This makes it hard to keep things a surprise for al the people who want to be surprises.
So I ask eveyone, please do not go poking around in there, and please do not encourage others to poke around in there.
We would like to keep things under wraps as much as we can. The whole point of this project is to surprise the community with somethign enw and cool. It would be a shame if we lost power over this and the general public went in there and revealed new images and the like
Been quite a while since I posted here... but I do want to take part in creating this. I'm particularly adept at crazy plot twists and writing in general, and also can help with music/voice acting.

In order to play it on linux, we have to download and compile ourselves, though, right?

But you don't need to "poke around" in the source code.

Couldn't you keep the code in a private SVN until the actual release? Without any binary release is there an obligation to release the code? Also do you have to release images at all?
