The SFC Engine is awesome. Why limit it to SFC?

How about a Bab-5 version?

Or Battlestar Galactica?

Heck, you could take the same base engine and go with a "Wooden Ships and Iron Men" model.

Just imagine.... Replace tractor graphic with grapples (no rotating). Can only transport troops if a grapple is achieved. Change graphic of transporter to people swinging across on ropes.

Ahhh... The possibilities. The possibilities.

Why not an official ADB sponsored SFB total conversion of SFC, models shiplists and all? I know this is not going as far as converting it to B5 or Galactica, but it's still something you would think would have been considered by now.

A while back when there was a flap about SFB models on this forum Steven V. Cole posted his policies about models here. During that series of posts he mentioned something about maybe someday exploring the possibility of a "SFB total conversion" of SFC. We've never really heard any serious talk by anyone about doing this since.

What's the holdup.......the infamous liscensing flap with Paramount?

And yes, it is good to see F posting again....makes it seem like the good 'ole SFC1 days.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

I don't post much here. I do a bit in the off-topic forum. Work and life in general has been rather hectic.

Anybody have a copy of SFC2:OP cheap?

It's a great engine...you could do naval combat with it,2D air combat with it...seems to me Taldren could make some bucks licencing out the engine.

^Those people deserve medals. That's an outstanding display of loyalty, community, and belief in that seriously underrated game. It's amazing and refreshing to hear, and I hope the giveaway goes very, very well. SFC2:OP fans have never failed to amaze me. You are the people game companies dream about attracting to their products.

As an aside, OP can be had from Amazon.com brand new for $6 a copy, too.
