I am just curious if there is going to be another patch. I don't really care when it's supposed to be released.

Alidar Jarok · « **Reply #1 on:** May 23, 2003, 01:07:36 pm »

I think that's Activision's call, not Taldren (I could be wrong, so it doesn't hurt to ask)

David Ferrell · « **Reply #2 on:** May 23, 2003, 01:10:43 pm »

Nope it's not dead.

Thanks,

Dave

What about an SFC4!!! That's when you'll get a heartbeat.

No SFC4, i want one, but i want it to be popular too so we can expect long time support and future games, best thing to do is build up an audience, offer something new, not just to startrek but gaming in general, a new feauture, graphics, something. Advertise the hell out of it, then give the game a name (SFC4) Build up a general audience instead of hardcore fans. Anything is possible.

Never say its dead cause of how long startrek has been out. Look at starwars, they are still popular as hell.

Mayby we need a MMO for startrek? not RPG though, MMORPG's are getting old real fast, i would think an RPG/FPS/FlightSim mix would work, offer something new, And gain a large audience.

Isnt the 'beta' patch just a full patch being marketed as 'beta' to get around a few Activision policys?

I agree. SFC3 was just too complicated for me. I think SFC4 should be simplified a lot more....maybe only one or two buttons, one for "fire magic photons" and another for "warp out before you lose". All the rest of the game can be run automatically by the computer because, hey this is a game about the future right?....yeah it makes sense that computers will be running everything on a starship hundreds of years in the future. I say that kind of "realism" will really bring in that general audience that Activision and Paramount needs to maximize their Star Trek profit and keep it going for another 40 years. Screw those hardcore fans...they're just a minority of freaks that don't really amount to much on the bottom line anyway.<snicker> Who cares about their whining....it just drives me insane to hear them droning on and on about Star Fleet Battles and Galaxies at War. What a bunch of losers!!!!

Hyper-There already is a game you are describing. Its called Dominion Wars. In some ways it looks better than SFC3. Thinking it came out in 2001. The computer can handle the entire battle. You can simple select which ships you want to target. It is very easy to learn. So much so that I have only played the 1st 3 fed missions. Simply because having the computer do it all is pointless. The game stops being a game and you just sit back and watch. Kinda like a DS9 episode, you are a bystander so its more like TV then. Except on TV there are characters that interact, here it is just ships blowing up.

There is no way to please the masses anyway. Everyone has there own opinion of what the best game is.

here is a link where I gave my ideas on what I want out of SFC4. There are some interesting ideas by alot of people expressed here as well.

I feel that dumbing down the game would be a step backward.

i Hope they will realse a Game patch soon , because the most players left dynaverse 3 while the game was to baggy. And they should relase the Patch for SFC4.

What could be in SFC4 can anyone tell me something about it?

Dominion Wars was OK with all the patches but it got really boring after completing the campaigns.

jimmi7769 · « **Reply #26 on:** June 02, 2003, 11:13:15 am »

The problem is not with Taldren.

Look how many patches came out for the other games.

We appear to be having problems of a political nature if you know what I mean.

APEXNETHOR · « **Reply #28 on:** June 03, 2003, 10:54:46 am »

Common Activision hurry up with the real deal patch!

I want to play SFC 3 online soon like sometime this year already.

Sorry just getting tired of waiting here.
