One thing I don't remember mention in here is that the patch, for all three versions, will contain the Borg mini-campaign that was, until now, a retail exclusive for Best Buy. We are releasing those missions with the patch.

Well, that's good. Now everyone else who didn't buy sfc3 best buy version can enjoy those missions as well (in proper post-patch working order that is). The mini-campaign isn't much, but fun in its own right for those of you who like Star Trek's greatest villain race. Sorry Romulans, you guys never had the cojones to invade sector 001 like the Borg did...

Yeeessss we did, we just did it waaay too early and made asses of ourselves doing it. Anyone remember the Battle of Cheron (Pluto's moon)?

Not to mention, of course the SPOILER plan of Shinzon (spelling?) in Nemesis to SPOILER destroy earth's population.

hey what u guys up there recon the est size for the patch will be?

Well, I'll have to eat humble pie and apologise to Dan for all the things I said about him. If Dan's going to be brave enough to post here week in, week out, good or bad news, then respect is due. Heck, it'll be like old times when Erik and Dave themselves would prowl the forums, letting us know what was going on, good or bad.

Also, anyone with a Southpark avatar has to be cool. Shame it isn't Timmy, though.

I totaly agree, its not as if we expect them to be at our beck and call is it? Its only 5-10 mins a week updating us, which I for one appreciate. Some games developers dont communicate at all well with there fans or customers, this annoys me greatly when it happens.

Respect - given

Kind of a shame that none of the patches fixed the underlying problem of Armada being pretty crap. Still, great fun to mod, figuring out the multi-targetting phasers & Borg assimilation beams was my proudest achievement mod wise.

What bothers me is that when he was asked whether this would be the first and ONLY patch, he said he wouldnt want to comment at this time.

That to me is not an answer that bodes well.

Dear Dan,

I was delighted to read on the Taldren forums that you will be making an effort to update the SFC community about "the Activision side of things" on a regular basis. The Starfleet Command community as you know has been around for quite a while, and is an invaluable source of information on the state of your product. To keep us "in the loop" as we used to say in the US Army, is a wise and endearing decision on the part of yourself. I, as well as my comrades here at the Taldren forum, realize that you will likely be doing this on your own, and possibly on your own time. On behalf of the entire grateful Starfleet Command community, I would like to sincerely thank you for your personal effort to support the community. I have been a member of the community and active on the Taldren forums for many years now, and I can tell you that the SFC community feels like a family of sorts. When other game communities have eventually died out, SFC has continued to flourish for the good of all it's members, and the general gaming public. We welcomed you into our family, and I'm sure that I speak for the majority when I say "Live long, Dan Haggerty, and prosper."

Thanks for the info Dan. I know I get grumpy sometimes and lose some patience when waiting for a patch but when you, Erik, David etc give us info it makes the wait a ton easier. Any new and revised date on when the patch may be out? My net connection could go ANY minute and I would really love to get just a bit of online play in.

DarkMaster · « **Reply #114 on:** February 10, 2003, 07:12:56 pm »

Ok...this is getting ridiculous now. Dan, Harry--the US version is supposedly done with QA--why the hell should we have to wait for the foreign versions?'

Enough is enough--by holding up the US patch to wait for the foreign ones, you guys ARE sitting on the patch, whether you want to call it that or not.

I and all the other US players who want a playable game shouldnt have to wait for the foreign versions QA to be done--at this point we've waited far more than we should have already.

EmeraldEdge · « **Reply #115 on:** February 10, 2003, 07:33:25 pm »

Did I miss them saying a US version was done with QA? I know Taldren said they sent it to ATVI, but they are the ones doing the QA so.... Also, I was under the impression that there was just going to be one patch for all versions. Thus, fixes for all three versions must be tested before the singular patch could be released. This is actually a decent move, imho, since you only have to host one patch and there is no confusion on the part of people with different versions. One patch to download, and it's the same one for everyone.

DarkMaster · « **Reply #116 on:** February 10, 2003, 07:37:36 pm »

I believe Dave stated the other day that he thought the US version was thru QA, and that the other versions were working their way thru QA. That seems like a fairly knowledgeable source

DarkMaster · « **Reply #118 on:** February 10, 2003, 07:49:27 pm »

You miss the point--according to Dave, the US version is THRU QA--they're holding it up until the foreign versions are done. That is what I object to at this point--I think we ALL have been more then patient.

Pestalence · « **Reply #119 on:** February 10, 2003, 07:55:49 pm »

As EmeraldEdge stated and i have to concur that i too thought that there is going to be only 1 large patch to cover all game versions, not several patches...

if this is true, then there is no discussion about US version, UK version or any version as considering that the idea of a single patch for ALL versions is being made, then any versions that have been already tested are on hold so that they can be compiled into the 1 single patch so that in fairness to everyone playing SFC 3, everyone gets the same patch at the same time...

this makes perfect sense if it is true.... and that is an even better explanation of why the patch has not been released as of yet.
