So, Star Quest 2: United Galaxies is now on Kickstarter.
I have actually been waiting for this for more than 10 years. I really liked Star Quest 1. It was nothing great, but it was fun at what it did. And it was pretty impressive considering that it was coded more or less by a single guy. The Frontier games were the only other ones that had seamless landing on planets, and AFAIK Star Quest to this day is the only classic mission based Space Sim that has it. On mission had you crash land on a planet and forced you to deliver pizza with a driving vehicle on the planet in order to gain the cash needed for the repair of your ship.
The goal is quite modest, but unfortunately the kickstarter is completely half-assed. He obviously never looked at successful kickstarters or a how-to.
