Yes. I want to design it so that *everything* is compatable between the two. However, if we start work on this, it will need to be a small subset of the main developers (split the deisgn team), but since we should get this done before Precursors anyway, I don't see a problem with that.

Distribution would be over the website, and a publisher, possibly. It would be completely opensource too.

Starship Creator!!!  HA HA HA!  I picked that up in a bargain bin like 5 years ago . . . that was a fun little game, but I could never work through some of the missions.
Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well. For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought; all we ought to have said, and have not said; all we ought to have done, and have not done; I pray thee God for forgiveness.

I've played all versions (Starship Creator, Starship Creator Deluxe, Starship Creator Warp II) and beaten every mission atleast four different ways, and written a few of my own. Interesting to note that at one time I had made over 50 ships. Most custom taylored to the missions. A few that could do 90% of the missions. It was fun.

I think that would qualify you for the nerd hall of fame.  You can be in there with me (for solving the 3x3x3, 4x4x4, and 5x5x5 rubik's cubes).

Heh, I need to install Starship Creator on my laptop and try to write my own missions for it.  I tried when I was like 14 and just didn't know enough or have enough patience.
