A small update on how things are going.....

from StarControl Forums

Hey Everyone, 

      So I'll apologize for it being rather quiet lately, as we have been very busy focusing on the game. One of the elements of the game I wanted to share with you is that the Star Control Galaxy you are going to fly around is going to be several times larger than the original. Right now we are looking at a Star Control galaxy with thousands of stars and many more than that in planets. The question I wanted to pose to you all is how big is too big?

Reminds me one of my frustrations with the Mass Effect series. There's a galaxy full of staaars! Welcome to a galactic epic! (But all you get are these three places, teeehee!) Wish they had designed the story to be dispersed among many worlds. Instead they (mostly) just went for major hubs, and instead of expanding on exploration in part 2 and 3, reduced it to a joke. If your setting is the vastness of a galaxy, that scale should be at least somewhat relevant.

I really disliked the gather resources part in star control 2 though when it became just grinding for resources.
