So... we're all dying to know the story behind the name change, Alex.  And how you settled on Star Sector?  Personally, it sounds kind of an awkward and as a phrase holds no meaning.  Not that it's a bad name.  90% of game titles are even more empty random conglomerations of words marketing decides sound awesome together.  And obviously, the game isn't affected.  Still the same awesome package.  It's more a question of sating the curiosity of your rabid fans.

I thought the name made perfect sense. It's a game about a sector of stars. Starsector. Starfarer is cool, but all it connotes is a traveler of the stars. Neither is any more meaningful than the other, really.

colorblind mode ehh

just allow player to select colors from GUI, enemy units = color, ally = color, disabled = color and soo on, this will allow user to setup colors and select colors most comfortable to use.

most games use blue + yellow as universal colorblind.

Really, really atmospheric, my new wallpaper. I really curios what the final purpose of those pictures is (not tower climbing I guess) and how many of them we will get to see.

Anyone got a clue what the "Thing" is that Stain is cooking up? What does the sound guy want with a high res picture?

He put the turret on the wrong side ::)

That is easy to fix:

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

Speaking of mirrored, the Astral still has those mirrored navigation (red and green) lights at the front that are reversed from what I can tell since the it originally had the bridge on the left with the lights correctly oriented, I wonder if those will ever get fix'd one day (I can't check atm but I hope I'm not wrong D:) :P

I really do like the station, reminds me of a rustier-less maintained airport with probably equally harsh treatment of cargo  ::)
It does make me wonder if that is the orbital station the hegemony uses, if so, maybe one day we'll get to see a picture of the tri-tachs in their natural environment. ^.^

Getting flashbacks to the first Starcraft II CGI trailer where Tychus Findlay dons his Marine armor - the smallest, weakest unit in the game, suddenly blown up to epic, life-like proportion. Great work, David.
