Yep, I backed the Kickstarter and hang out in their Discord. Wasn’t sure on the rules about promoting stuff like that so I didn’t mention it. :-)

Always loved me some Mara Jade and Talon Karrde.

I’m a lurker. Vegetarian myself but my wife is vegan.

Yep, I have no idea how people are able to afford stuff like that! Some of our friends have these crazy hobbies and go out to eat all the time, multiple cruises a year, etc. Meanwhile a ‘date night’ for us is Chipotle and DVDs of whatever show we are watching that we borrowed from the Library. That is the only way we can afford our modest one side of a duplex. And I feel like I make ok money but I guess everyone we know just makes so much more, or we are just very strict with our budgeting and credit usage.

I charge by Bluetooth headphones ‘pod’ with my Steam Deck charger and it seems to be ok.

Iceland or Finland. Love both of those places, from the people to the landscape.

I just say it the way it is - ‘Oh that is Travis’ shoe’

I added the apostrophe for writing it, but I don’t say the name any different.

Reminds me of that scene in Interstellar where a baseball game is interrupted by a dust storm. Some interesting world-building in that scene regarding the state of the game too.

It’s funny, I love the DeLorean/Tron style, but to me the CT looks nothing like that. Both of those styles have a certain sleekness to them, while nothing about the CT looks sleek.

That’s a great point. Don’t want the poor whittle CEOs to have to actually do any work for their ridiculous salaries.

Now he knows how us regular people feel when we have to fight insurance and the doctor’s billing office to get them to code/process the claim correctly and keep calling to bug them for the refund check and it still takes over a year. Welcome to the real word.

 

So picked this up in the recent Steam sale and just finished it. What does everyone think? I liked it, though I definitely enjoyed the earlier portions more, when it felt more grounded than fantastical. I would love to see a game centered around LeBlanc and his time as a PI before Kay returns. I feel like that would be a good setting to really dig into this awesome dystopia that was created here.

 

How is it in 2024 now that it’s finished? A lot of reviews I see are based on when it originally came out but I’m curious about the current state of the game. With it being on sale now it seems like it’s worth it even with flaws.

For some context, I’m not a huge city-builder guy (I’ve played some here and there) but the sci-fi setting and the narrative are what interest me here. I don’t really care about replayability as long as one play through is entertaining enough.

Any thoughts?

 

Anyone else have fond memories of Star Control 2?

 

Been waiting my whole adult life for this one!

 

So excited for this - a sequel to Star Control 2.

Just to be clear, this isn’t my creation, just something I found and wanted to share.

 

Super cool to get a feel for just how massive even the pre-refit Constitution class is.
