Still trying to break the cryptic chaos of it all.

It might be in this thread or another, but does anyone know the status of the SFC2:EAW source code? I thought that Dynaverse.net still had it. If so, what are the chances that SFC4 would be based off of that source code -- and what legal and technical (if the EAW engine is a sound basis for computers running Vista, 7, and beyond) issues are getting in the way?

Although a similar but non-Trek game would be neat, I think that EAW already has 90% of what SFC4 would need. So unless it were completely necessary -- the only legal way to make a SFC4, even if it's not named that or even Trek-based -- what's the point in remaking most of the game? I've read posts about users who would love simply a version of OP that worked reliably with modern computers and networks. How far from this is EAW? Just a thought ...

What I'd have liked to see (but most assuredly never would've) was the ability to issue all orders and see their effects while paused. I also would've liked a toggle-able auto-timer-stop option for the end of every "turn." Yes... exactly. I want a turn-based option. Then you can add all the optional complexity you want as requested above, and still have the ability to control it all... what I really wanted was SFB.

SFB was about strategy, not dexterity.

Because open source would mean they could not sell this game, which I am thinking they are intending?

But hey, an update would be great.

This is a non profit organization. They couldn't sell it anyway.

It's probably more likely because the source code, or any licenses, don't belong to DV.net. You can't give away something that's not yours in the 1st place.

So.... an update?

So where is this SFC4? A 3 year post about this and absolutely 0 product. Does anyone here know that Star Trek has a MMO out? Yes, a Star Trek MMO that has been developed from scratch in less time than all bs in this post alone. What a crock!

Yep, and they have a dedicated, funded software development company that's got a producer named "Atari".

We have volunteers and a producer named "Frey Petermeier" who pays for everything out of his own pocket!

What a crock!!!!

I remember when this thread was first started. Much has changed.

Rather that gt impatient (but I am) I wonder if I can help? I have developed in C/C++ and taught myself C# (not that different) and have written code for about 20 years. Nothing recent as I do project management with a focus on getting applications etc out the door on time.

I also come with my own tools. I even have some 3d rendering software but I never use it.

Any way I can help.

Cool. Send Frey a PM with your contact details and interests. I will be contacting several people in September.

A lot has changed since I started work on this in January, first and foremost, the name. We have set realistic goals and are making real progress and may need more hands soon.

I've been waiting and will continue to wait... In the end I know it will be completed and well worth it... Until then I will practice my skills with OP 4.1... ;-)

Adam

Don't forget to play some EAW also as that will be the base of the new release.

Yikes !! That shows how much I have been paying attention. Thanks for the heads up.

I havent played EAW in years. Have to dust it off, and practice.
