Hmm... I believe I do have one. It's shiny and located right below my Karma level. It even says Stardock. :)

I believe everyone can agree that the most important functions of the map are: It needs to be something that players can easily comprehend and use. Its main purpose is to help you travel the galaxy and give you the information you need to do it. You should be able to look at the map and be able to tell where you are, where you want to go, and what alien races you may encounter in your chosen route to your destination. Player shou

You could safely say that Star Control is very anti-realism. To use one of my favorite game design motivational posters.

[quote who="Awkbird" reply="3" id="3541801"] Thanks for making an introduction, Andrew. It's reassuring to know that Brad isn't the only one intent on interacting with the community as development continues. Hope it isn't inevitable that we'll end up getting the game spoiled for us by learning too much ahead of time.

Greetings and various apropos felicitations everyone! I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I’m Andrew Zoboki and I’m the Lead Game Designer for Star Control. I’m extremely excited about working on such an awesome project at Stardock. The Star Control franchise for me, as I am sure it is for all of you, is one of the shining gems of games that I enjoyed playing in my youth.

Would it be worthwhile to play 1-3 first? [/quote] Star Control 1 & 2 set the stage for the entire Star Control universe and all the places that you can *smell*.
