  This is what I would like to see is newer version of all three or compine them altogether in a two or three disk set or like no.3 but in a two disk set run of the hard drive.I like to see an officers and refit sellection like no. 3 and I would like to see the same for
on energy management,warp button reversing thrusters,three different kinds of photon torps and a similiar con. but colourized eg.blue,red,green etc,and authentic weaponery eg,For Klingons disruptors instead of phasers and photon torpedoes I could go more on this but that would take up a lot space or time I have however I have explained all this to Taldren and they would like to do it put it is an Interplay product and they are the onley ones who could sell it.The only way they can is if we all wrote to Paramount and told them that we would  like to see Interplay get thier license back.It is to bad that Interplay still does not own Taldren Formerlly 14Degrease east.These new version would not need any patches or unless Microsoft come out with new windows os and we all know Microsoft.Yes Trace it sounds like a good Idea for now but all patch up for those who do not own these games and would like them.If we want to see are games with all the patches then we could mail them to Interplay for them to fix.I would like to get my Starfleet Academy fixed that does not work all that well and only as three missions on it.I really think there needs to be uptodate versions of SFC 1,EAW andOP great games though needless to say like old computers they need updating.I would encourage you all to start writing to Paramount on this.Taldren did a good job on  no3.although Activsion was wanting them to rush it for marketing in time for the release of the movie Nemises and that did not do well either.That is why no.3 needs patching up but I like way the ships blow up in Interplays versions I hope this spreades light on this .

So now you know

At age 40 what are the odds I may live long enough to see the code go into public domain?

well i bought sfc2 eaw about 2years ago. together in one box with star trek new worlds a bonus disc with patches and some artwork stuff. but those were german versions.i stil have to thank the ducttapewonder a thausend times for giving me a copy of op.op is still the best sfc game. i bought sfc3 the day it came out and it (sorry i have to say that!) sucks!
seeing sfc1,2 and 2op in one box would be awesome. but sfc3 ...hm..idoubt it will be played half as long as sfc1 was played.

btw: i have all the sfc1 music in wav format. i tried to implement it into sfc2op but i ablsolutley dont know what i have to do with the sfcmusic.txt to get it to work properly.i tried to replace some of the sfc2 music with the sfc1 music but it came out "streched" it sounded like the musicit was played with half the speed it should be.any ideas?

sfc1 missions in sfc2op? would be awesome - but i have no clue how to do that.

btw: were there voicec instructing u on your missions in the english version of sfc1 and 2? there were in the german versions
of sfc1 and 2. just curious but i was used to HEAR sule telling me what to do in the tutorials in eaw and there is no sulu in sfc2op.


greatings,

 I'd like to see the old games as a compilation, but I see that can't happen.

Is there any chance of all the fans mods being put on disk as an add-on?

I'd pay for something like that.

If people can play SFB for twenty years, then I say that SFC should last at least 30. I know when I am 60 I will be anxiously awaiting OP enhancement pack version 65 with 9000 ships 7789 of which are Fed.

Too bad, although this issue with "too many fingers in the pie" is what also haunts our community!

The run has been good, but the clock is ticking down.

 The clock is indeed ticking on all things Trek, but since it was been around for about 40 years, I have hope for the future.

I never said it couldn't be re-wound. (SP ??)

Look at how many times other series have come and gone and come and gone.
It may wane, but never die

  I hope not.

Right now, Trek seems to be at a low point, Enterprise is struggling in the ratings, and the leagal troubles seem to have ended all Trek games for the time being.

Hasn't been this bad since the 1970s it seems.

I just got an email from Interplay that it is re-releasing Freespace 2 as a 20th Anniversary (of Interplay, not of Freespace) Collector's edition.

Who wants to wait another 10 years and see if they'll do a 30 year anniversary, if they last that long, SFC series edition? (I know I do!)

Has anyone ever tried e-mail a "Customer relations" person at Interplay and see what their response is?

One fleet engagement between two drone races in SFB can last 20 years, 15 of them arguing over the rules.
