Thanks for posting that. Very interesting from developer's of one of my top 3 games of all time.
Unfortunate, that they don't have anything to do with the upcoming Star Control 4. Even more when it was mentioned that they own the rights to the races and stuff in the game, but not to the name. So Star Control 4 is unlikely to feature the creatures and races from Star Control 2.
Sad day.
