heh..I lied...I stayed up to see your responce...

actually...Dave Ferrel did all the final patching to OP....

Frey got the directory servers for EAW and OP...and dynaverse.net owns them now to keep them up for SFC players......

DV,net got the source code for the server kit...and there are still improvments being engineered for it by Bonk...(SQL stuff)

We have a host of new missions that are more stable and bug fixed....

Mags is back now and then though...they have something cooking with the SQL improvements...but I'm not aware of any type of schedual...

OK I really need to go to bed now *snicker*...I cant fly four more battles   ;D (god that was the only hang up with SFCC....getting battles done on a week night...shew)

Ya hit it on the head there Crim LOL

Ghis's General War campaigns were strictly designed for 'single' players too! I remember staying up late a number of occasions and catching holy hell for it! The wife may forgive, but she never forgets ;) One of my worst moments was finally getting a battle together and playing it through. There were like 10+ ships on the field, including a SB. After about 1/2 an hour into it, I made the mistake of launching a shuttle, and botched it up. Remember how shuttles wouldn't die and the AI kept targetting them? I still feel guilty about that one & that was probably 4 years ago LOL

I am still lurking around here at times.  I have a friend that finally found OP in Sam's of all places.  Was the only copy.  He found another place locally that had a number of SFC1 boxes (unopened) but have a couple of copies of that already.

... and another really old guy makes an appearance!

Back when I was playing SFC1 & 2 regularily, I used the name: Messiah

I was never really famous back in the day, not at all in fact, but I did play a lot with these guys (Shadow, Kirk Jr, Crimson, etc).  In fact, I owe my love of SFC (the videogame), and my improved play to Shadow :)  I met him early on in my SFC1 career - If I remember correctly, he complete kicked my ass and afterwards we got to talking and he 'trained' me after i asked him to help me get better at the game.

After a while, i met all the other Old Guard and had some great times.  If I remember right, I was around when Shadow was putting up that website for his campaign and I'm pretty sure I helped with certain things here and there on the website end - at the time I was trying to find a job as a graphic designer/web artist.

To Shadow and everyone else i mentioned; How are you?  I don't even know if you remember me, but I have a few memories of you guys and the good times we had playing. 

-----

Maybe I can kick start things again?  Am I correct in assuming that the only onlline campaigns that exist now are for Orion Pirates?  I currently have SFC3 (found it a while back for cheap), and I recently d/led the Generations at War mod.  If I want to play online, do I have to get Orion Pirates?  Also, the servers running, do you only use the Original Series look?  Call me shallow, but I do like the newer ships :p  I think I'd really like to get back into SFC and playing online against serious gamers.  So any help would be fantastic!

Hell yeah I remember you!

Welcome back!

Yes...the SFC2 fanbase that's left plays OP now....(they fixed a couple of the campaign killing bugs)

Best thing about OP?

Klingon Boom arcs ;)

Good news ...OP is pretty cheap....I payed 5 bucks for my last copy on E-bay....and that included shipping... ;D

Haha, cool, I'm glad you remember me!

Yeah... now it looks like I have to pick up Orion Pirates, haha  ;D

I assume that these servers are using mods?  I was lurking here and there on the site and noticed that mods change the ship models to the TNG era and I do love my TNG ships!  Crim, what server are you playing?  Is it too late to get in?

Also, I guess SFC3 is looked down upon huh?  Haha, I know that Taldren 'dumbed down' the game so I guess, if I want to play with you guys, I need Orion Pirates.  If I do buy it off Ebay... I gotta wait for it to get here, grr.... lol.


Oh and Crim... you're STILL playing the Klingons?  *sigh* when are you going to ever learn? *tsk, tsk*  :flame:
Grr... just looked on Ebay.ca and every copy of OP costs A LOT!

Sorry... yes, most of us are playing OP. Sounds like you would enjoy the UAW mod and server.

I think Amazon has OP for cheaper than you'd find on ebay:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005JD51/104-4292245-0309551?v=glance ($28).

I vaguely remember a Messiah... did you play Hydran mostly? I seem to remember that name in purple.

No, actually I was a Fed player... I think I was still 'learning the game' as they say then real life impeded and I eventually had to move on.

AND YEAH!  I found a copy and lucky for me the CD key worked!  It took a little doing, but I d/led all the necessary patches and the game is working great!  When I logged into the gamespy dynaverse I saw 3 server:  Tavern, Forge & Beta... I went onto the beta and checked things out - it was good times!  I've still got some refreshing to do on my skills though.

That sounds shiny.  I'll be in and hopefully I will have improved by then.  So far the computer is OWNING me in space battles, I've won about 2 out of 6 and of the 2 I won, it took a LONG while for me to finish it out.

My gosh, do you know how long its been since I used this name? *dusts off his old hydran uniform*

I went searching for the old Taldren forums on a whim, and tracked it down to here.  Great to hear from you again S'faret!

Just goes to show you, in this age of the internet, anything you write will survive anything.  Shame thats not some of my best work.
