Reply to Origins: Which aliens from the original series do you want in? in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

If this is a separate universe from the original StarCon series then i don't see why any of the original aliens would be included, unless they have inter-dimensional capabilities (Arilou, Orz?).

Reply to Q+A regarding Star Control and Paul and Fred in Star Control Journals StarControl Forums

When I first heard about this project I was excited, though somewhat tempered by Stardock's decision to not include any assets from SC1 or 2. When I heard F&P wanted to a do a direct sequel to SC2, I was elated. Here, after 25 years, we were going to get not one, but two StarCon games, both a soft reboot of sorts and a follow-up to SC2.
