Windows 8
Windows 8 is coming, and it will apparently be very oriented toward touch screens, which probably means that touch screens will soon become standard equipment on all new computers. The same OS is meant to run on everything from desktops to handheld devices similar to the iPad, and if the device is powerful enough to run Windows 8 it will surely be powerful enough to run SS. Touch functionality is the future of gaming. Are any touchscreen features planned for Star Sonata?

Re: Windows 8
ss2 is already quite enjoyable on a touchscreen (as mouse replacement, not total input replacement, the keyboard is not going anywhere).
I actually already play ss2 on a windows 7 tablet and it work quite nicely with a small app made for gaming on touchscreen (basicly create the touch screen wasd and space and some more). But its not as fun without a keyboard.
On the other hand, playing in keyboard + touchscreen combo is epic.

Re: Windows 8
c2 really can work as is for a full touch game. As long as your device has a way to right click you can do most everything else with the hotkeys. Trying to think of something you cant do on a tablet and I really dont see any issues other than if you are trying to be an SD and super agile, thats not going to happen.
I played a fair bit with a tablet, wacom inotus 4, and it was great. Targeting in PvP is really easy with absolute references and the pen. I dont like touch screens for large devices though. It is much to hard to interact with a 24in display in that way with any kind of speed.
Windows 8 with being forced into metro will be a skipped OS for me. I do too much actual work on my PC and too little face book to care about it. Reviewers seem to think it is really a great OS though for what its meant for. I think casual pc users will find it fine even on a desktop.

Re: Windows 8
I play the game currently with a touchscreen computer, and always have done I enjoy poking ships with my finger to select them buttons are also large enough to be pressed easily and precisely.
