This is one of those problems which I think gets more interesting the harder it gets. From my perspective it's great that some of the things I've learned in research are finding a use in Star Control.

	~~===History of the Star Control Fan Universe===~~
	History interests me. I have written a complete history of the world and I actually update it based on current world events (I don't really know what I'll do with it). I think it would be cool to do a history of the Star Control Fan Universe (SCFU). I'm a relative newcomer though, and only appeared in mid 2007. Sure, anything I write is unofficial and actually it doesn't really concern the ultronomicon. But I'm not a controversial figure and never will be. But hey, write your own history! Below I discuss a tool which would help any aspiring historians.

	~~What is the SCFU? Currently its online presence seems characterised by the~~ [~~http://starcontrol.classicgaming.gamespy.com/ Pages of Now and Forever] (PNF),~~ [~~http~~:/~~/starcontrol.classicgaming.gamespy.com/forum/index.php Star Control Discussion Board~~] ~~(SCDB), [http://uqm.stack.nl/forum/index.php Ur-Quan Masters Forum~~] ~~(UQMF)~~, ~~[http://uqm.stack.nl/wiki/Main_Page Ultronomicon], the [http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ SourceForge page~~ for ~~the~~ UQM ~~remake] and apparently also a [http://www.livejournal.com/interests.bml?int=star+control+2 collection of LiveJournal communities]~~. I ~~think those are the main ones. Apart from the aesthetic reasons~~, a ~~history is useful~~ to ~~gauge progress and catalogue the various ideas which have come up - threads in forums don~~'~~t do a great job, though they are good for currency~~. ~~How does one know if a question or idea has been posted before?~~		[[User:Zeracles/Starmap\|Starmap]]
			===Project 6014===
			Like many others, I'm doing a little on this sequel mod for UQM. I'm working on concept, dialogue and whatever else time permits for a species new to 6014's plot.

	~~As far as this does concern the ultronomicon, there are some things which would go in anyone's history, and so can be included objectively~~. ~~Still, I don't think this could go in the main body of articles, so it could be time for some user pages~~.

			I don't really have a lot of time for Star Controlling, which stops me from doing stuff and it sucks. I don't have time for these projects right now.
			===Planet Landing Risk-Reward Formula===
			[[User:PsiPhi\|PsiPhi]] first mentioned this idea [[User talk:PsiPhi/StarBox\|in 2005]] (not that I was around, or even knew the ultronomicon existed at the time), and in october 2007 got us working on it [[Talk:Planet landing risk-reward formula\|here]]. This is an excellent idea, but as he said back then, it's ambitious. We ([[User:PsiPhi\|PsiPhi]], [[User:Fyzixfighter\|Fyzixfighter]], [[User:Valaggar\|Valaggar]] and yours truly) have been discussing it since, and many interesting and challenging issues have come up. This is one of those problems which I think gets more interesting the harder it gets. From my perspective it's great that some of the things I've learned in research are finding a use in Star Control.

	This one is supposed to be a helpful guide for any who would like to mod the game or simply know how it works. I don't know anything about C, so if it's all up to me, it will get done but really slowly. Also, this is a prerequisite for two of the above projects
	*Completing the planet-landing formula, as we need to know exactly how everything works.
	*Balancing the prices of UQM's ships, because it will be useful to have solid quantitative ship-to-ship data. This is so whether we obtain this data with iterative modeling or some kind of learning AI.
