This game rocks. I loved Star Control 2. I grew up playing it on the 3d0 and regularly revisit it on PC with "The Urquan Masters" freeware. This is a true successor. Pay no mind to the two programmers, which did nothing to bring us a sequel for 25 years, and then decide to sue a fantastic company like Stardock for being such a fan of their creations, to bring it back from the dead. Now they are making a sequel? I will play it if they actually do, but I highly doubt it. Star Control 3 was abysmal and they are crowdfunding for legal fees to sue Stardock? Stardock is one of the best companies in gaming. They patch and update games even after the sequel game comes out. Nobody else does that. Nobody else provides the level of detail they provide. Sins of a Solar Empire and Galactic Civilizations are beyond incredible. They don't even need to make games. The parent company codes for all kinds of things. They decided to make games because it sounded fun. That is why their games ARE so much fun. Paul Reiche and Fred Ford will take everyone supporting them for a ride. They are rich. Period. And they are crowdfunding for legal fees. They have no intention of providing any new Star Control games. They will block their IP if they have their way and none of us will ever see another one. Stardock didn't do this for money. They could have made a Sins sequel and made 6 to 7 times the amount of money they made on this and put in probably less work. They love the series and Brad Wardell had permission to go ahead and then they decided they wanted to choke Stardock for more money, apparently because choking parents who bought Skylanders toys wasn't enough. This is a rare case were the big company is totally in the right. GO STARDOCK! Even though I get frustrated when you release so many expansions to your games, at least your bringing content. 25 years and nothing from the other two. They would have never even considered it.
