Man thinking about this I just keep getting excited about the idea of a Star control 2 mod. I remember when i played through star control 2 how i thought it would be awesome to play a empire conquest rts like game that would involve the various races in the star control universe. I can see the SoSE engine being capable of providing that too! When i get more time i would definitely be willing to try and get a team together and work on this if others are interested (i don't have the most modding

well it sure would be cool if they did make another. As for modding i bet if we/anyone got serious about it and asked atari for permission to use the starcon universe they would probably say yes. I mean star control 2 was an amazing game, probably one of my favorite single player games of all time, but it was a game that didn't gain that much popularity despite it's comedic acting and deep gameplay, and a starcon mod that gained popularity would be like free advertising for atari and the serie

star control was an amazing game back and the day and even still! i loved playing their skirmish games and colonizing the crazy grid. I think making a mod for SoSE is a great idea. Atari resuming star control? I wish they would but i doubt that will happen. Furthermore I doubt they would get too angry with a star control mod being created. They released the source code of star control 2 to the community so i doubt they are too fussy about an even older game getting redon.

I'd say the major defensive structure that is missing is a structure with some kind of recall ability. It would need to be really high up on the tech tree as it would only be necessary for large, well developed empires. Seriously though, on large maps when you start getting a large empire it takes too long to jump from one front to the other, and when you get flanked by 2 full sized fleets if you defeat one by the time you even get to the other end of your empire 3-4 planets will be wiped out.
