No way forgotten, even those of us late to the community know your work VERY well

pneumonic81 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 27, 2004, 03:47:25 pm »

yea, i think i enjoyed making the mecs most of all, tho i did soem units in this game that really came out the way i wanted (which is good)

we are still in pre-alpha stage so i got a while to go yet.

whats cool about that emch is the missle pods pop out when tis gonna fight. and when its coverign terrain they go into the body

anyone like mechs?

im almost as big a fan of mechs as i am starships and star wars tech. i own every mechwarrior game that ever came out

MajorRacal · « **Reply #6 on:** April 27, 2004, 03:54:46 pm »

I'm a big fan of Mechs and wish I knew how to build them to port into MechWarrior - sadly I don't.
I always thought if would be great if SFC had a ground assault mission using Mechs etc to secure the final capture of a planet after the orbital base assault. Maybe my expectations are just too big though.

I love mecha of all kinds.I'm an original battletech player from the 80's and play mechwarrior now.I'm also a macross/robotech fan.

Kaenyne · « **Reply #8 on:** April 27, 2004, 03:57:28 pm »

I'm a bigger starship fan than mech fan, but I do like 'em a lot. I don't play mech games, but do have a small collection of Gundam and Transformers figures. Besides you getting me interested in Earth Empire 2 today, I understand that their are at least two Gundam games making their appearances at E3.

I'd say that Star Trek, Kaiju (read: Godzilla) and mech stuff figure fairly prominently among my hobbies. And Ihave quite a few more. So much neat stuff out there, so little time and money...

Stormbringer · « **Reply #9 on:** April 27, 2004, 03:59:20 pm »

A lot of us remember you. And even more still use your models or descendants of them. Now if you could just et a few more of the old timers to pop up here again...

ModelsPlease · « **Reply #10 on:** April 27, 2004, 04:08:51 pm »

Sir ,nobody will ever forget the contributions you have made to this game. I am also a huge mech fan,robotech etc.It is an honor and privelage to finally meet one of the legends himself. Best of luck with this new game I will definately be looking for it when it hit's the market.Thank you for sharing you talents and ships with us.

u know i have a bunch of trek models i made post BC. which were intended for another use but never got that far. if there was a wbesite i might be able to dump some of the images up there and shwo u guys some unreleased ships i made about 18 months ago.

olbuzzard · « **Reply #12 on:** April 27, 2004, 04:21:07 pm »

Battle mechs ... mec warrior series ... hmmm me thinks you are discussing another series.. I do love the MW series though. Having a little trouble getting my Saitek X-45 dual controllers straightened out... (something about Winblows XP and Saitek just dont get along *** SIGH ****!!!)

At any rate bud... it would be good to see some more of your work ... anytime !

Queball · « **Reply #13 on:** April 27, 2004, 04:24:08 pm »

Hi Rick - good to see you back on the scene.
If you need some webspace for pics let me know - I have plenty of space as my site is still in its infancy.

Great to see you back, dude.

Captain Ron · « **Reply #16 on:** April 27, 2004, 06:08:49 pm »

Hello Sir and good see the game you have been spending time on is starting to show up. No one in this forum has forgotten you or your work, in fact many of your ships have been converted to all the new releases of Trek Games. I have been a Fan of Mecha and Japanese Anime since the mid 70s' so I am glad to see your work going that way as well. I only played the MechaWarrior stuff in single player and never searched for mods to that game, but I think I will now.

It is always nice to see poeple come back here again after an absense, even if it is not to add work to this game any more but just to see an old friend. So good luck with that game you are working on and let us know when it gets close to release.

P81,

Great to read a post by you. Glad to see you moved on but are kind enough to check in on us. Your talents are surely missed around here.

Sandman3D · « **Reply #19 on:** April 27, 2004, 07:31:39 pm »

P81! Damn!

Hey, your forum over at frost works is doing good...a little request...do you know how to get ships into Freelancer? I've asked at FW, Lancersreactor, but no response. Oh well, it's great to see the Master around here again.

Your work is always an inspiration to those of us carrying on the tradition for SFC...but your work will never be rivaled.

CaptainTombs · « **Reply #20 on:** April 27, 2004, 08:02:43 pm »

Wow Hi p81 long time no see Hows Life treatin Ya well glad to see ya,ive returned here aswell lol, and im still working on your Dauntless(THE BEST DAUNTLESS I HAVE EVER SEE)

Captain Ron · « **Reply #21 on:** April 27, 2004, 09:25:50 pm »

Rick if you want I will do one better.

If you want web space for Pics or to upload the ships I will get you space. I will give you access to my uploads area at Mackies if you need it, and will see if he can give you hosting space if you want it.

WE ARE WORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pneumonic81 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 27, 2004, 10:05:10 pm »

i woudnt mind throwing up a few images. these are trek ships used for concept work a while back. the voyager i did was put into elite force 2 on janways desk. lol. the others didnt make it into anything becasue of activisions situation w. the liscence.

so now they collect dust on my hard drive.

so what do i do to drop images on this site?

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #24 on:** April 27, 2004, 10:08:49 pm »

Have to host em on a server first.

Heavens_Eagle · « **Reply #26 on:** April 27, 2004, 11:27:54 pm »

Well Hello Rick!

Long time since you have been here. I still lurk through these boards on a semi regular basis.

One note, I picked up Elite Force 2. LIked EF1, EF2 was really BAD. They screwed up the weapons and everything so bad on that game it was almost impossible to play.

Gave it away to a friend and his comment was "it sucks", but he couldn't complain about the price. (graphics were good playability stunk)

Am looking forward to seeing your unreleased compositions.

yeaterk · « **Reply #27 on:** April 28, 2004, 12:12:45 am »

Now talk about weird he posts here the same day i actaully get around to uploading a kitbash of one of his models.

Btw good to see you around here again.

ChrisJohnson · « **Reply #29 on:** April 28, 2004, 12:19:34 am »

Skipping reading most of the posts, I'll view my own opinion.

I remember you. I don't have a lot of respect for you after a series of events years back (which I hope aren't brought up again so I hope nobody starts anything from my post... Besides, I've forgotten some of it.) but that doesen't mean you're not talented. You pretty much do good work mostly.

pneumonic81 · « **Reply #30 on:** April 28, 2004, 06:28:39 am »

chris

well we had about 2000 arguments (which i was involved in) on this forum ranging from model permissions, to verbal unarmed combat to personal attacks. some people will still have hard feelings regarding that, others wont. im not one to hold grudges so to u i say, no hard feelings bud, and have a good one!

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #31 on:** April 28, 2004, 06:37:29 am »

so p81, you gonna be stickin around for a while, or is this just a drop by.

-=wishes he starts making models again=-

Makotokat · « **Reply #32 on:** April 28, 2004, 06:57:22 am »

Hey P81 welcome back!

pneumonic81 · « **Reply #33 on:** April 28, 2004, 08:26:49 am »

i might hang around a bit, show some of my newer models.

Grim Reaper · « **Reply #34 on:** April 28, 2004, 08:27:31 am »

Like we'd forget you. Not very likely. Even if we forget your contributions to this scene there are still numerous other scenes (most involving trek) where you name shows up.

Still it would be a plus if you'd could hang around here more.

111wallace111 · « **Reply #35 on:** April 28, 2004, 08:46:21 am »

You dare insult us by saying we FORGOT you?

Hey P81, good to see ya again

Khalee · « **Reply #37 on:** April 28, 2004, 10:11:30 am »

Like others have said are you staying this time, or just poping in.

Rogue · « **Reply #38 on:** April 28, 2004, 10:29:24 am »

Just wanted to add a post to the those offering greetings. You know, to this day many of your textures are the gold standard by which others are compared. It seems to me your Federation warp nacelle and dish textures are a good example of that. You helped make this game more fun and most of us are glad you found a place in the industry.

Hope you visit often if for no other reason than to be social.

jimkirk · « **Reply #39 on:** April 28, 2004, 02:39:16 pm »

Oh a boy has returned to town

Hello Pneumonic. Nice to see you here

Well I was looking at those empty boards after Atrahasis was kicked out

(BTW he made a magnificent job here and last time he was here) and today I thought something is wrong with my eyes when I saw your post. I couldn't miss it

Welcome and nice Robo

you've got there

BTW you are not so old and forgotten as you said or was awared of...

WELCOME TO TALDREN PNEUMONIC 81

jimkirk · « **Reply #40 on:** April 28, 2004, 02:45:02 pm »

BTW It could be very lucky day if Maggot would appear to hang around as well

pneumonic81 · « **Reply #41 on:** April 28, 2004, 03:03:43 pm »

i havent heard from maggot in years. which is too bad cause i liked his company.

Mariner · « **Reply #42 on:** April 28, 2004, 05:16:11 pm »

Welcome back Rick. I can't wait to see what new standard your going to set with your new old ships...:D

Odd too, because I mention you in my Power Point Presentation on SFC2, in the modding community slides (they take up about 5 of the 12 slides

). Do you have a semi complete list of all the things you've had the chance to work on because of your SFC fame?

jimkirk · « **Reply #43 on:** April 29, 2004, 05:10:24 am »

Yeah he was a fine guy who invited me here. Thanks to him I had an introduction to the community...

BTW Rick if you will have a time just look onto Taldren Fun Fiction Forum. There is a great story going on which was written by Lieutanant_Q. Here is a link: http://forums.taldren.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=278271&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1

It's really great and this guy is a well talented writer
