I've thoroughly enjoyed playing Star Control Origins and it definitely scratches my Star Control itch. There are/were balance issues at the beginning, but I've still very much enjoyed the combat. The 1.01 patch made mining planets much easier since you can see the value of the planet right from orbit. May get a bit tedious at times exploring every planet, but that is the same as it always was. If you are looking for some new Star Control action and enjoyed Star Control 2 then you will most like love this game as well.
