Is this what Frey means when he says "soon?"   :D

Are they based on the real Trek or Abrams' perversion of it.  Also, I don't see Paramount licensing out games with a strong multiplayer component as that would compete with STO.

I can see multi-player in the vein of SFC style.  Limited numbers.  STO claim is the MMO part of it.

That's another thing.  While I am not privy to Frey's negotiations, I wouldn't be surprised if STO was what was holding up the permissions for SFC4.  Think about it.  With more players in PVP, and an improved dynaverse, SFC4 would stand to compete with STO.

The same thing had occured to me.  I don't see how anybody with a cash cow like STO would stand still for any competition.

I think it's the best game for PvP duels (I'm on Vista and GSA works fine), and will be for a long time unless there is a SFC4. The problem is that with the crappy network code and modern OS trouble being so newb-unfriendly, it's not going to have any more players that what there already is. And it looks like the difficulty getting Dyna to work with Vista/W7 is the reason why the numbers for OP are dwindling nowadays.

No, No - definitely Fluff's fault. Definitely.   (It's an old joke Knightstorm.)

I stubbed my toe getting out of bed tonight, going to the head.

I looked down, and thought to myself, That Darn Fluf, He planned this!
