OK, I'm necro'ing this thread a 2nd time.  Seems Starship Corporation is on sale until ?? for $1.99 on Amazon.

This game is worth the $1.99 cost, if it comes with a $2 coupon.

I have watched this game for years. It is currently on Steam, for $20, and sports a 41% rating. Yep...41%. Derek Smartt may be able to do better. Don't bother with this one.

What are you basing your impression on? Steam reviews? Derek Smart? Really? That's a bit harsh. Its actually a very decent game. It has some issues with the mechanics, but for a $1.99, its EASILY worth it. I'll add that the game was consistently supported throughout early access and the developers are off to a strong start supporting the game post-EA. In today's day and age of abandoned EA titles, this is certainly a notable exception.

Derek Smart?  Somebody got into the AOL wayback machine.

This does sound interesting.
Oh yeah, someone write "Derek Smart" three times.

I am an old man. I was involved with this saga, real time, back when it happened. I remember posting back and forth on various bulletin boards about his PhD, or lack thereof. You can still find the entire dustup online, makes for tremendously entertaining reading.

I reminded him of our acquaintance, and posted on one of his shit games on Steam. I got a perma ban from the game, which pleased me greatly.

I even owned a copy Millenium..although I could never get it to work properly.

Perhaps you are right...Starship Corporation is not a polished title, but they are trying. Derek Smart was ONLY interested in stroking his galaxy-sized ego.

Consider the audience.

I think 90% of the folks in this room have Derek Smart in the wayback machine in their brains.

Yeah, I was there in the old AOL forums butting heads with DOCTOR Smart.  He was very upset that I wasn't happy that his game (OG BC3000) didn't work.

Has anyone played this with the new 2.7.4 update from May? It is on sale and I am very curious. I have extra disc space since Civ6 got deleted.

Yeah, I'm a paragon of patience and restraint.

This is where I am at. A big title means something has to come off. Civ 6, 5, and 4 all remain on the hard drive, as all three are significantly different games.

The 2.7.4 update doesn't seem all that significant.
