A call

Open Source Star Control 1 and enable the steam workshop for sc1&2 so extra content like mods and improvements can be easily picked up. Sc2 has lived on as the urquan masters and has spawned a passionate and active community that have made improvements to the game. Could Sc1 receive the same amount of attention and love if it was open sourced?

I'm pretty sure Reiche or Ford have said the source to SC1 is lost. Far as I understand the reason Ur-quan Masters was possible is that it was based on the 3DO version. We're very fortunate that the 3DO version happened, not only because it gave us the voices but it had a different publishing arrangement from the PC where they legally owned the source and were eventually able to release it.

There have been some fan attempts at SC1 remakes or strategy mods to UQM, but none finished.

Steam Workshop won't happen for SC2 either; it's the DOS version.
