I think the problem is they need some cash upfront to finish the game. Smaller publishers like Shrapnel are "less able" to provide such an investment. Larger publishers either are not interested or want too much of the profit to make Mare Crisium happy. I am not sure what they need the money for. They already have superb graphics and a soundtrack (and presumably sound effects). Those tend to be the things that require money to produce. They already can program. The only thing I can think of is they still need alot of graphics work done and need to hire someone to finish it. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this game shows up someday as it looks nice.

Me and my brother played the original Stars! along time ago. We loved the game. Altough at the time we didn't have the full Version, sill don't for that matter, but we had to demo and we loved it. We played it non-stop for days, even weeks on end. I haven't played it in along time as I've been waiting for SNG to come out. Hopefully Crisium can find the development money so they can finish the game. I seriously think they should talk to Shrapnel about getting them to publish for them. Shrapnel may be small but they are still a good company (don't worry, I don't expect money for saying that  ) that can publish for them. But I doubt they will talk to Shrapnel about it. So, we can only hope they get this game developed before it's too late and it gets left in the dust in the 4X genre.
Ok, that was more like 4 cents but who cares.
EDIT: Song came to my head... Another one bites the dust. haha
