Maybe you can declare that Startron is taking place already in another Universe. ASCII Universe. Btw, if our Universe is infinite, or there are infinite number of universes, then Startron Universe is somewhere there.

@JobLeonardYou meant the card table right? @vdappsOh yea there's a bunch of unwritten lore behind it all lol This cosmos is not meant to be in any way related to our own :D (There is actually a hint of this in something one of the bar patrons says )

> News headlines are now displayed on the TV in the bar when the player does certain things (this'll be expanded as more events are added to the game)
Tangentially: I love the idea of a living, breathing world where stuff happens in the background. Like, what if the news actually represents things that change regardless of what the player does (price changes, political changes, whatever)

It's nice to see you be so productive (as long as you don't push yourself too much)

Am just conscious I go back to work (more programming) next week so am taking advantage of the free time to indulge in the ol' long-running hobby I used to code for 12hrs a day back when I was an aspiring teenager; I don't seem to have a burnt-out state

Looks like you went and added some Star Control to this game, no?

Never heard of Star Control :D This was just me thinking of bits the game is missing to make an immersive space experience

Are you being ironic, or have you never heard of Star Control 2, a critically acclaimed game that has been hailed as one of the greatest games ever made? It's got like, it's own Wiki Page and everything: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Control_IIAlso, a completely free cross-platform port exists: http://sc2.sourceforge.net/It still holds up very well!

Unfortunately it falls into the category of being called "Star {something}" or "Space {something}" so it goes somewhat under the radar for me. It's also a little before my time, so I've had no exposure to it personally That being said, it's totally the era of space-game I'm going for with Startron though :D
