It was (IMO) most likely a conflict with Starfarers of Catan, if anything of that nature. That, or the band.


In either case "Sector" is a suitably vague term that could mean anything from a handful of systems to a few million systems.

Maybe something to do with this: http://www.starfarer.com/ ?

What's with the semi naked girl with a hairdryer aimed at her ass?

Should be called StarAssdryer.

Hey guys, I come from the Fractal Softworks forums, And am an active modder there. Nice to see starfarer/sector has such good feedback, Feel free to come and join us over there sometime.

Regarding the name change:

Alex and co are not saying why they have changed the name, the current speculations regarding legal issues seem to be the least sensible. It is mainly thought to be due to the fact upcoming features(Multiple systems) forced a rethink of the name, Feel free to join us all over there

Regards,
Sprog

I can't access the main site or the forums, Down For Everyone seems to agree. Are they having DNS problems/server issues or is there something else going on?

Hmm, Funnily enough I just checked now, It would appear so, I have tweeted to them about this

Yeah, I dunno why they had to put such a sexualised image up to represent their game. Hopefully this is doesn't signify the beginning of an evony-like boobs-everywhere ad campaign.

And then other games parodising it?

Spoiler: Like this did (click to show/hide)

Note how she's covering her boobs as if she was naked, but she's actually wearing a catsuit (and other accessories)... which I assume she wears in front of other people normally.

But the picture shows her like we just saw her in the shower or something. "OMG don't look at my... spacesuit covered boobies!" 

[Flying Dice]

Maybe the front of the spacecatsuit is transparent. That would fit with the generally scuzziness of that advertizing tactic.

Just on the off chance there's any confusion (which it almost sounds like there is), I want to make perfectly clear that that website has no association whatsoever with Starsector, Fractal Softworks, or myself

Yeah, we were just discussing why the name change happened. I don't think any of us thought that you guys would stoop to Evony-level lows.

Besides, the game is moddable enough that people can add boobs to their ships if they are so inclined.
