Re: Stars! Supernova Genesis
You can get the original game STARS from someone via P2P. I bought my copy. I don't know where you can buy one now.
As for SSNG, what can any one say; It is highly doubtful that it will ever be published. I have posted about this before, and have even posted that they should contact shrapnel on their forums. The answer has always been that Shrapnel is a small company and can not aford to support the developers or development of SSNG.

I hope you are wrong. Jeff swore he'd finish it some form and self-publish if he had to, as he did Stars! You guys have to see the 3-D battles to believe them. Awesome just begins to describe the action. Screen snapshots do not begin to do justice to them.

Re: Stars! Supernova Genesis
3-D is irrelevant to being a good game or not.

True enough. But The tactical battles occur in 3 dimensions and that definately adds to the planning and ship design.

Re: Stars! Supernova Genesis
Well... actually, a 3d star map would help SE5 tremendously. It doesn't have to be some convolutedly beautifully rendered piece of artwork or anything, but I just can't stand the 2d starmap in SE4. A 3d map would allow for much more diverse games, and would help to lower the chance of being boxed into a small area early on.

Re: Stars! Supernova Genesis
Yes to all of that, IF. And SSN's star map is just 2 dimensional. Only the tactical battles occur in 3 dimensions.
Always wanted to try Asimov's strategic englobement strategy in 3 dimensions on the strategic map...
