The shape of the body, and of some of the Tessalate ships are vaugely similer.

You're right, I have played both games a long time ago. Really liked SC1, but SC2 was not the same.

I insist that those redish backgrounds should be removed, they look really odd when randomly displayed during game setup and in stellar manipulation.

Do you think you were the first to think about adding backgrounds?

Other than that, really cool and original shipset, I didn´t have time to play against the AI but it sounds nice.

Hey MB.

I know, SC2 wasn't the same, but it was better than SC3... *shudders*

They have made a FREE re-release of the 3DO Version of SC2 available. www.star-control.com

Alot of good info on there about Star Control.

RE: "redish backgrounds " I don't know if I was the first. I have never seen the idea before. I am open to releasing a "non background Version" if there is much interest. Hmm, ya know what, I'll do it even if know one else asks.

I’d love more feed back on “backgrounds” I’m not an artist and I have terrible vision so I do see things differently.

RE: “Chenjesu”. I don’t believe I ever played Star Control.

RE: Duplicate ships. Which ones are they? I’m glad we called it beta.

Yea, I knew that SC3 sucks... and for this reason never purchased it.

And thanks for the tip about the 3do Version for SC2!

By the way: don't you recognize the "Aquilaeian" and "Pyrochette" pictures?

those are just things i've spotted.
Beautiful shipset, different from most and nice set. Looks good together.

* Battlecruiser stands out too much - only blue warship
* Troops could be better.

overall nice set. i'll play against them some time.

Nice looking pics. I like the background. Instead of removing them I think more people should use them. I seem to recall a couple shipsets had them, but I can't remember off the top of my head.
