In one of David Farrell's recent posts he mentioned that the new SFC3 patch will add two new missions including a monster mission. As a long time fan of the Doomsday Device from SFC1 (and hidden in SFC2 as a special), I would like to request that we add the good old DD back into SFC3!

While it is true the thing is hard to kill, it is a blast during a PvP mission. If you can tractor your enemy into it (or your wingman, and I SWEAR that was an honest mistake WIndy!), it's one of the best missions in the game.

I would recommend giving it a more speed, some nasty weapons and make it HUNGRY!

I don't want any Sungliders or plasma burpers! Give me the Doomsday Device!

I've been asking for this ever since SFC 2... C'mon Dave.... Spill it, will we have the Doomsday Machine back in some form?? I bet it would give the Borg some problems assimilating it.... This needs answering.... Oh, Dave.....

Edit the shiplist with MS Excel or soemthing like it.
.. change the "SPECIAL" to "MONSTER" beside the ships noted as "M-DMS", "M-DMM", "M-DML".
Save preserving the current format.

Bumping to hear Taldren's answer... Any chance of seeing the Bird of Bethke 2.0 appearing? That was also a nasty mother to fight against too... I'd attach the audio link to the Doomsday machine, but I forgot the link DOH!

Once they release the monster mission, I wonder how hard will it be for someone to bring them in from SFC I/II?

On a side note, there was a TNG novel that deals with the Doomsday device, Some surviving member of a race destroyed by the Borg went looking for the origin and found that the one encounter in the original series was only a small prototype and a fleet of them was in storage at the galactic edge. Anyone read that on?

Aww, shucks.... That'll put a damper on things a bit.. oh well.... Then can I ask : will the monster be something competely new? or the old plasma boulder from SFC 2 and OP? Thanks for the fast reply though...

I have recently purchased SFC 1, where is the doomsday devive in the 1st game?

IndyShark · « **Reply #18 on:** February 12, 2003, 05:24:24 pm »

If you play the official campaign, you will see lots of them!

Oh masters of Taldren, just what would it take to get 'ol DD machine back in SFC then? Act of Paramount *waves to Dan Hagerty*, bribng Erik? Starbucks Coffee? What?

P.S. I guess Mirror Mirror missions are out too...

I'll dig out the book of one of my boxes. and just send It to you. I do seem to recall It having a power core that was incredible. It was then going at almost infinite warp towards teh end of the book. I'll find It and share what I can recall later this afternoon.
