$35 for a 9 month pre-order; thoughts ? will it have the usual gazillion stardock dlc/expansions ? Will it be any good ?

I'm not sold. The trailer I saw looked pretty Meh and add Star dock whom I feel has burned me more than once, I just can't buy until real reviews arrive.

 

[Rifter]

Star Control: Origins Fleet Battles Beta begins today!

Trailer:

Star Control: Origins is a science-fiction adventure game set in an open universe that puts the player as the captain of Earth's first interstellar vessel on a mission to find allies to help save humanity from certain annihilation.

The beta unlocks the Fleet Battles feature, where you'll assemble ships in a fleet and engage in battle with fleets controlled by either the computer, humans via the Internet, or even friends sitting at the same PC.

You can literally design your own ships to use in combat using the Ship Crafting system, or you can download ships designed by others to play with. Ship Crafting not only allows you to decide what weapons and defenses a ship has, but allows total control of how a ship looks.

Ha! I still have my 800xl and star control cart. Need to figure out how to connect to my 4k TV.

I think it has a lot of potential. I'm not thrilled with it being Star Dock, but I believe as long as they don't micro-transaction us all to death and release something like a Platinum edition with everything included, I would give it a try.
