= Campaign ideas =<br />
<br />
== Directly addressing Activision ==<br />
We need good arguments as to why a sequel to SC2 stands a good chance of making Activision a good deal of money, not just why SC is such a great game.<br />
<br />
== Increase public exposure to Star Control ==<br />
* Star Control stickers<br />
* UQM CDs<br />
* Star Control Pins<br />
* Star Control Clothing<br />
<br />
= Arguments in favor of a new Star Control =<br />
<br />
== There is a broad support for SC2/UQM ==<br />
* UQM download numbers<br />
<br />
== Games which are similar (in some way) to SC2 are currently successful ==<br />
<br />
=== Aspects of SC2 ===<br />
* humor<br />
* space<br />
* adventure<br />
* great story<br />
* upgrading<br />
* discovery<br />
* massively single-player<br />

* ...<br />
<br />
=== Other successful games which share these aspects ===<br />
* Homeworld (also HW Cataclysm, HW II)<br />
* Wing Commander IV<br />
* Freelancer (from Microsoft)<br />
<br />

<br />
*Galactic Civilizations 2, especially storywise (Drengin = Ur-Quan Kzer-Za, Korath = Ur-Quan Kor-Ah)<br />
<br />
== SC has the potential to become a successful franchise ==<br />
* SC2 has left a lasting impression on those who played it (see the petition)<br />
* after 17 years, SC2 still has an active following<br />
<br />

Active franchises and current games which Activision has:<br />
* Call of Duty<br />
* Guitar Hero<br />
