It's Monday, EST ... _> Nope, nothing new here... What did SD [I]really[/I] expect people to not check at midnight?

All I know is that I'm going to have to find out about this while at work - on the sly as it were. Not that this type of thing has ever happened before. Obligatory false prediction... SD has obtained the rights for Star Control, and the original X-Com, and are currently remaking the series for updated systems, and then moving on to sequels.

Second (game based) I cannot seem to be able to use custom ship designs from one game to the next, I "bling" ou

I have just one thing to add to this discussion: I bought GalCiv2 based mainly on supporting StarDock with their lack of copy protection concept. I wasn't even sure it would run on my aging hardware, but the respect the company has shown to normal people, not treating everybody like thieves, caused me to make the decision to support the company and their ideas. Fortunately, GalCiv2 works very nicely on my laptop, though it locks up and runs out of memory from time to time, an
