I second that: HypaSpace should definitely have a mention about Star Control. In particular, that:
1. The community has set up a petition to have the original creators make another game in the Star Control franchise. Anyone can sign this petition online, and each one will have an impact! People can sign the petition here: http://sc2.sourceforge.net/petition/petition.php
2. The original game is available for free right now, and it's awesome! Download it free from http://sc2.sf.net
3. There's an outside possibility of having a Star Control booth at the Fan Expo in August in Toronto.
