Hegemonic Crux? Star Control 3?!?? They stopped the series at 2, and I'm glad they did. <reaches for the ban hammer>

Seriously, though - some of the things you mention will likely find its way into the engine over time.

On the other hand, for me, the fun thing about a mod like this is seeing the original through a different lens - the game being modded. The constraints force you to be more creative, and that's what ends up being fun to see. If Starfarer is modified to support every feature SC had, the mod would be more of a clone, and to me less interesting - I mean, we've all played the original, you know?

Hegemonic Crux?

Sorry, Ur-Quan Hierarchy. Yes SC3 was bad, but you know you still played it for the upgraded graphics. It was all we had at the time! Muppet-based animation notwithstanding, I liked the 3D perspective on the ships even though it made me less precise.
