It may have been answered before, I don't know.

I know that Taldren is developing other type of game (and good for them, diversity is key to survival) but are there any plans, even in the pure theoretical/ideas/wishes among the owners of developing another space based game similar in some , small or not, way to sfc games? I am not talking about a ST based game, just space based.

Star Wars would be cool I guess, or even the Conquest Frontier Wars setting. I would say the Fading Suns but there is already one like that in development already (that looks good). A totaly original setting wouldn't hurt either.
Anyway, you get the idea

, so, any answer?

If they wanted to fall back on SFB based model again there is always the Omega Sector add on's for SFB. Plenty of interesting material there. and no Star Trek liscense whatsoever. Only have t deal with ADB for that.

There is certainly no harm in letting SFC rest. Let Taldren build there little Empire and then come back to SFC fresh and with a little capital. We will be here waiting.

I thought ADB was prohibited from producing ANY computer version. They cannot do computer SFB without Paramount.
The closest they can come is their java-based SFB Online.

I'd love to see them with a Babylon 5 license... We can just cut the whitestars and make the playable races all of the younger races. Keep Vorlons and Shadows as NPC.

Before you say it can't be done, there are way more cannon b5 ships and races than trek ones. It can be done.

If they made another SFC Id like the Backgrounds in space to b a bit more gritty and realistic. Unlike SFC3 where it looks like your fighting in heaven......

Have you seen the backgrounds in Homeworld 2? At times I feel like I am going to see ducks fly among the clouds and the "sun". And from what I know you can't disable them as in the First one. :-(

Freespace 3!

(I know...I'll burn for that. No apologies

)

hehe, didn't mean it quite that way. I was an fs2 ADDICT! I loved that game. If you mention fs3 in the forums you're burned hard. (There's a lot of hard feelings about how underrated that game was, the fact there will never be another, and because the're tired of people saying...'will there be an fs3???)

It'll be a cold day in hell before Activision allows a Trek game to be produced without their stamp on it, and I have no use for Activision's material. Apparently, Paramount hates SFB to the point that they have made the writers for ST avoid SFB at all costs, even if they have to redo and avoid the entire story-arc of TOS. ST should die. SFB (and SFC) is the only thing that has kept me interested in it. Well, TNG and DS9 did have some highlights, but Voyager sucked, and Enterpize appears to be going off the deep end.

All things die. Maybe ST should be put to rest, so the fans can have fun with it. The studios sure aren't producing anything worth-while.

WDLL · « **Reply #15 on:** September 29, 2003, 07:28:50 am »

Completely disagree.
I found TOS to be okish, not great. TNG was/is my favourite. Voyager and DS9 are not great bad are above average. Enterprise is good. It has some bad moments (continuity and all) but still a good, fun, series.

Mesa seconds that sir.

FPF_TraceyG · « **Reply #17 on:** September 29, 2003, 08:27:12 am »

Unless your at least 30 years old these days, most young fans were weined on TNG and the rest. Paramount is hoping that Eneterprise will kick off purely relying on a new generation of younger viewers who have never seen the Original series before (and hence wont pick up the gross discrepancies).
I noticed a post in the Models forum someone made making a snide remark about an avatar someone was using insinuating it was gay. The avatar was a pic of Harry Mudd from TOS and the guy who made the remark had no idea that was the case. Typically those who discovered Star Trek through TOS will swear by it, and those who came along later prefer whatever it was they watched first. Its a testament to Star Trek that it is that long lived to create a generation gap.

Eltanin · « **Reply #18 on:** September 29, 2003, 11:30:54 am »

I'm with Tracey and I'm one who swears by TOS (age 33). TNG was kinda like Love Boat in space! It was ok...but nothing compared to TOS (come on...name something clever in TNG like TOS turning humanity into the flying saucers....). Besides, TOS made it seem like starfleet was, well, and actualy fleet! That's why I liked SFB so much...fleet...and battles.

Do I sound bitter...ok maybe. But that being said I am, frankly, a fan of all the shows just not for the reasons I like SFB and TOS. (even...voyager)
