Actually, there has been an SFC column in CL since SFC1 came out. Just not much "meat" in it, which I'm planning to fix this time around.

What I'm planning for CL28 is to cover the "third-party add-ons" as best I can; Luc's OP+ will not be the only thing mentioned. Scripts and mission stuff, ship mods, links to some of the download sites, the GAW project, and so forth. General notes on installation for newbies as well. More links.

I've got a couple months to write this article, so I'm willing to listen to suggestions, requests, and attempts at bribery.

gplana,

I really don't have any interest in the Karnak missions being published in SFB's Captain's Log. If you could not consider them for the article, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Karnak: not a problem. I do have to say that I've played them myself and like them!

Everybody: I've gotten a couple of emails, so one thing I should clarify for everone: most of the people here, and on TUN, and partipicating in the other projects, and so forth and so on, all these people know about all these things that have been done (like OP+, the EEK mssions, Chris Jones works, and all the ship models that have been built). Just from posts that I read on the SFC topic within the SFB BBS, I know that there are a lot of people who have no idea whatsoever that there are neat things they can install to "enhance game play". You guys here are all in the category of knowing all about these things already, in most cases in a whole lot more detail than I know. So the article will not be of much interest to you guys.

Speaking for myself, I truly appreciate what you guys have done over the years. I don't know if all the bugs have been worked out of OP 2.5.5.2 -- although David Ferrell is clearly due some kudos -- and quite frankly I don't know how the people working on GAW are going to implement Web weapons within in the game -- which is pretty well essential for the Tholians to be a factor. Anyhow ...

The focus of the article will be to introduce newbies to the idea of going past what Taldren did ... things they can do, add-ons you guys have done, and so forth. While we're able to point out some neat stuff you guys have done, that's about it. It's still Taldren's game, and yours.

Taldren took it as far as they could, and now the fan community (that's YOU) has picked up the ball. All I intend is to put the word out to the SFB players who read CAPTAIN'S LOG and may be unaware of what they're missing.

One of the things you should encourage newbies to do........Join us online....Player Vs Player is the pinnicle of SFC....

Many of the gaming communties (for other types of games) are huge and unfriendly...looking only for the best players to hang out with...quite litterally shunning new people....

That can be very intimidating for any gaming system...and it can literly kill the love of a game like this...its a hard enough game without dealing with buttheads too...

Well....we are a different lot....we look forward to welcoming new people and helping them "get up to speed" so they can join our addiction...er community....and many people go out of their way to personaly provide training, tactics, and tricks to bring up a new players skills...want to learn how to fight a fed or klink and live to fight another day?....just ask and a klink or fed, or another racial player will spend time showing you how....I cant think of too many gamer types that will teach you how to defeat themselves....

Many of us have transended the "must win" mentality and now play for the joy of battle alone....

OP may very well be the closest we ever get to the prize(real time SFB).....but for many of us...its close enough

There are only three things one needs to join our community....

A game disk...an internet connection....and the will to learn....

Skills we can teach, tech support we got, and fun?....yeah baby we got buckets of fun!

Crimmy, what you have said concerning joining on line play speaks to people like myself. My very short on line play experience was discouraged not by the way anyone treated me but by buggy launches. The fight would start and about half the time I was unable to be launched in, leaving whoever I was flying with in a bad situation. Therefor I thought it best to not screw up other peoples fun.

If I, or other people like me, wanted to give it another shot, where is the better places to start again?

Ah, don't forget to throw in a shameless plug for Co-op Ace, a script that Firesoul has graciously assumed most responsibilities for and enhanced a great deal. And yep, I'm still out here, if only watching. :>

Hi Crimmy would you like to see improvements to KE3Y Bird of Prey like a power of 25 so you can overload the torps and go to speed 20 while cloaked it would be nice would in it the same for tinga or K7T it would be nice if that ship cloaked too sounds nice does in it .I would like to but I do not know how to edit ships I am no computer wizzard.David Farrell told me to do it on excel but it says make a back up I am not sure how to do that.I would like to see Taldren put out shiplist editor and make it userfriendly and easy to edit and make up some of our own.What do you think pass this around to everyone on the forum if I do not get the time please.Bye the way may Klingon alter ego name is Koras and my Fed. is Mike Hanson Comes from a family of norse warriors

But I do.. but I do. In fact, lately, I watched the entire FireFly series back-to-back. (in 3-4 nights)

Loved that set...

And the "Companion".....
