I'd prefer the hound frigate, would love a model of that on my desk.

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.

I second this motion :) first merch best merch!

But all joking aside I would love to see this or at least a sketch of the front half of the hound with some sort of scale reference because then it would be easy to make in minecraft export with mineways and 3D print with shapeways (ironically i think the first topic that i made was on this vary subject :D)

Maybe this question is off-limits (I sure hope not), but does anyone still have the packages for all of the previous versions? I would love to see the development of the game over its lifetime.

So THAT is why vandala got banned! I had kinda been wondering. Seems a bit harsh for a perma though, think vandala has an alter-ego here?

Vandala got banned after (what I understand) repeated warnings.  (shrug)

I'd like that hound fig.  :) I know there is some concept art of the onslaught from a different perspective somewhere.

I'm pretty sure that David mentioned something about how much work and time goes into merch, and that it's more trouble than it's worth. Especially considering that David would likely end up being the person designing the stuff, and he's already working two jobs, and merch would take valuable time away from game assets, yadayadayada... Too lazy to look up where that was mentioned, but I'm 90% certain it was.

But jeez, all us seem to have just got the game after that TB video it seems XD
That's how I found it. I'd never heard about this game, and after watching the video I realized that it was the game I'd been searching for since I was a kid.

Yeah, I've not shown this game to THAT many people, but most people I do end up buying it, haha.
