Rat Boy, Corbormite, CynicForever, KBF Mace, Shadowviper, so on.. I am generally pretty quiet here on the Forums, as I felt I really dont have much to say about SFC series except a single thank-you to the gents at Taldren and praises to our charitable array of modders. I had assisted ActiveX a healthy amount with his idea of Continuous Space (that was completely ignored by .....), which most of you know pretty much included a little bit of everything that was shorted.
Since November I played Earth and Beyond... I have seen Eve 2... I am this time exercising this aforementioned idea(s) at the bank, literally... I have a working knowledge of business adminstration, political fundraising, and so on. These are my soon-to-be Master's Degree. I have contacted about 6 different places (so far, many to go), looking for rights, assistance, more money, and caring hands. You see, not many are interested in Star Trek anymore. After SFC1,2,3, and those horrid movies, most people have written off ST for good, figuring they don't want to look like that, and that everyone is happy with.... such. I speak in vagues as to not get banned, besides, I am thankful for this and other Taldren products, and am attempting to be pleasant and respectful despite all my insufferable disappointment since November.. However, I have been going to the right places, i.e. people looking to create something that is memorable- a livelier and relevant testament to 40+(?) years of Trek fandom that will probrobly not sell and make me look like I got a good deal on the Brooklyn Bridge. There will be little doubt that if this ever comes through that it will be pay-to-play. 1600+ people on and off Earth and Beyond with its 4 dinky ship models (and 1.5 hour possible total in-game flight time) don't seem to mind- they also have 'buddy registration'...
I play the hard drive-consuming demo, go buy the game and a separate monthly fee, and then while Im online, I make a new friend when flying around newbie/demo starting grounds... If he/she registers with my buddy name after the demo lifetime expires, he/she pays less than half game cost, starts off with decent prestige/space bucks, and I get a level advancement and more prestige too. Funny just how many women were on that game because it was a totally fluid continuous universe that is continually added to. Felt realistic- you really were somewhere else, not just playing a prettified MS-DOS application. If you can interest women, the sternest judges, with stupid space ship crap, you're doing well. Giving them something similar based on things they might be already familiar with, even better. That is what we were expecting, don't kid yourselves. And E&B isn't even the best one out there, only a reference. I imagine that despite having released incomplete, misadvertised, disappointing, basically unsupported product(s), totally wasting copyright and franchise rights (familiar)again, certain people will fight me wholeheartedly tooth and nail over fist concerning such a venture. It is no matter, in 10+ years I will be taking similarly-worded complaints to the US Senate from within. Fortunately no one has copyrighted the term "Galaxies at War" or similar titles, and he/she who created it can assist me if they so desire. I will likely be doing this on my own, as my strongest ally lost faith and wisely left for the Coast Guard to secure his financial future. We can at least hope our militaristic world will return him and all our brethren in the Armed Forces back to us when they're finished.
Back to subject, I have an long term email address, and a basic informative website in the making, of which to contact me with, should anyone wish to participate in such a venture. I will likely not check much on this thread, as I do not want to waste anyone's precious bandwidth or my own time on something I do not support. I will certainly be the spine for anyone who is sincere and serious about helping me. It is foolish likely to attempt to create a long-term supported product that will not be profitable and extremely difficult to obtain, but I being dedicated to honest lifelong public service, welfare, and care, therefore having few personal hobbies, feel... cheated with this one. Why after all these years of patiently waiting, with all this technology available, can I NOT fly my little ship around, battle things, go to bases, explore, run around on starbases, just like in the TV shows? Why cant I feel like I am living my own ST TV episodes out? I don?t like hexes- they only time I saw one was on ST III, and it was only a computerized distancing/mapping TOOL. A dandy tool at that, having played board games a bit. My argument is that if soulless, historyless (?), generic games can make me feel like I am making my own on-the-minute TV show, where we travel, trade, fight, and interact with a semi-realistic feel, why cannot Star Trek do it? Everyone else gets to! I see all sorts of games that don't have such a steadfast fan base get to do these things, and successfully at that. There are several games out there, and more to very soon be released that do this also. I want to be embarrassed at times when I say what I like to play. Do you know what fans of other games say about us? They (happily paying fans, unaware of what they miss with generalities as templates) say, " Oh that? Ha ha ha! Too bad for you- why don?t you play a real game, like - - - with me? At least you'll have fun, and you'll get your money's worth, at least with continual support!" That surely irritates me, and I realize the gentlemen at Taldren worked many hours to create this product(s), this forum to write in, but.... this is not complete. This is undone; at least Nature finished her work. I am tired of being disappointed, and tired of being jealous. Tired of being forced to take second best and not care. I hereby (actually, already did) implement said project... name not necessary. I am looking not at constant conjecture, but at getting things done. Which is why I seldom post here, no offense meant to anyone who care to write thier thoughts down, a healthy uncommon practice that is the foundation of any civilization. I do seem to notice many things said here on Taldren Forums tend to carry little weight.
Should anyone care to reply or razz me, or especially help me, then respond to Yuggothian on Hotmail. If you are willing to assist me, or want it the other way around, I welcome you genuinely and happily. Thank you at/of Taldren kindly for giving me this space; you really do do good work- this has nothing to do with you, so take no personal offense. Thank you everyone for taking your time out to read this gargantuan post, and may He bless you all.
Now, to continue on?
