I bet there’s a helluva lot more fans who want a new Star Control than there are people who know or who care who programmed one of the versions decades ago. I vaguely remember some of the aliens and the slave shield thing. What I remember the most is exploring and meeting interesting characters.

What is "a long time"? Every post I just read there is new as of 3.0 and some aren't really bugs (having a shortage of food not causing starvation or something is a design choice, not a bug, it's not like Civ made my tanks not run if I had negative oil).

[quote who="guvulem" reply="9" id="3712201"] After Stellaris Im unable to enjoy any other space game. Same happened after EU4 and Witcher; its like your first girlfriend, you never get over it. [/quote] You created an account just tell us that? I gave Stellaris a chance. It's a choose your own adventure simulator disguised as a strategy game. Every game plays out almost exactly the same.

[quote who="Kantok" reply="35" id="3406247"] Quoting Alstein, reply 33 A successful GalCiv III launch will shut up the folks who still spout off over War of Magic- I can't see a scenario where Brad would allow a sub-par GalCiv III to be released, and now he can look at the game with a lot more critical eye than he could War of Magic. No it won't. If publicly detailing what went wrong, acknowledging their mistakes, r

I don't think it's fair to compare Stardock's handling of Elemental to StarDrive or SOTS2 or Legends of Pegasus. Elemental was a disappointment. I flamed it the week it was released more than anyone.
