I agree, there is no need for a patch. I lost my CD code, my disk is corrupt, I've never installed it on this computer, and I didn't have any fun playing SFC3. Do I want a patch? What I'd really like is to see is something happen to Activision, so the license can be bought by a responcible publisher.

Was this B.S. supposed to be a joke or what?

Naw,

TNZ is great, and a credit to both the modders and Taldren for making such a modable game.

Another patch would be great, but I must say that you did a relatively good job on the last one and that the game is mostly playable. One player found it SO good, he thought that someone else must have fixed it because of all of the problems he felt were solved. So I think that this thread is just an underhanded way of saying 'Way to go, Taldren. Keep up the good work, though at this rate you almost needn't you're doing such a fine job'

Or at least, that's how we should all take it, because we have a very uninformed poster at the helm.

never did understand all this hype about errors and crahses, bugs and problems.... i run the game on and old 500mzh system but i have verry few problems with the game and think that it works fine even though it does CTD some times (most games do on my system)
i still enjoy playing this game and like being able to walk through the defualtcore.txt and change all the ships and wepons and what not i can install some wondful MOD's and play them(kudo's to the makers of those mods)
so all in all i am satisfyed with the game as is. though when we do get a non beta patch im almost certen(willing to take bets

that someone will STILL complain of how this or that isnt working right or something has disrupted the precious BALLANCE)
well now that ive said that back to the OOOHHH weres the patch debate.

if your post was truly just that, then dont worry about it. many folks (including my self) feel that the game (as all trek games) have been abandon because of the lawsuit - if not before then as there might have been a ramp up/delay leading into it. i just do not know and cannot tell.. i just simply wish - well.. dream at this point - that there will be an official patch.

on the upside.. sfc3 is more stable of a product than 2 or op out of the box - thus helping somewhat and allowing modders some flexibility.

Fair, Nanner?

Fair would be making the programs we have paid for in the past, I.E. SFC1, SFC2, SFCOP work at LEAST 90% prior to worrying about patching SFC3.

And they (Dave F) have STILL been working on at LEAST OP (not sure if Dave has hung up the OP hat yet or not, he keeps coming back, God bless em!) but if you want a reason you dont have the same quality (Fairness?) in patching you have to look no further than Activision.

As for there only being "ONE" issue left in OP, you know that is a direct falsehood.

1)Fighters dont work, never have. They freeze up. They dissapear. They regenerate, etc.

2)Fleet control doesnt work. Didnt work in EAW, doesnt work in OP.

3)Cloak is better, but Tar(God bless HIM, too!) keeps finding things wrong with it, in fact it got better in .10 and then got worse in .12.

4)Hand of Bethke STILL eats ships. Not as often, at least for me and usualy it eats an AI, but it is still there.

5)Missions that have never worked and still dont.... For example, the Fleet Repair dock mission. "Fly into the nebula, find the neutral shipyard and try to recharge you ship", you know the one!

I personally would LOVE to see an SFC3 "OFFICIAL" patch, as I still play it in single too.

Dont disagree with most of your post Nanner, just the Anti-OP and anyone who likes it Parts.

SIgh. BTW, this post is not meant as a jab at Taldren, Dave F, Erik, Bruno, Or anyone else who works at Taldren on a daily basis and/or was involved in the creation of the SFC series of games, it is just a response to Nanners post. No flames. No insults. No references to body odors or sexual habits, etc.

HAND!

Well, no, this thread really IS underhanded.

You come on here and tell all of the people that work at taldren that its okay, their months of work is useless because the modders have illegally fixed problems that they can't.

Not only is it patently false that any major mod has attempted to fix these problems but I would suspect that it is equally false that any of them COULD fix these problems. I mean, they're truely amazing programmers, but so are the people who work at Taldren, and THEY wrote the program from the ground up.

This thread is completely and totally uncalled for. It is alright to have an oppinion, but when that oppinion is offensive and incendiary it is NOT okay to use it and false information to attack Taldren.
