Maybe some publisher will get the idea that they don't have to spend time developing a new game, just tweak this one a little, and make a quick profit. I think the idiots emptying their bank accounts of the MMORPGs have the developer's attention right now, but the free MMORPGs will bite into that soon. There are no space sim games on the market. Eve isn't a game, it's a job you pay to do.
SFC was always a longshot. I'm amazed the game was ever made. Seems like Paramount wants to keep tight reign on the cannon, and the old SFB rules are only true to TOS. The game genre is out of vogue. Still, the game can be modified enough that it doesn't have to get boring.
