I have a long list aside from the Vista thing...the park-and-plink bug is near the top.

What's this bug?

Vista is really what killed this game and if it's gonna make a revival it needs to work properly in modern OSs.

I think he means the bug we found with shield reenforcement while testing. I believe it has been fixed.

Ahhh, the one where the player doesn't appear to himself to be taking any damage yet the ship gets wrecked on everyone else's screen.

What's this store you speak of?


Legal copies of EAW and OP now available for purchase and download.

http://www.dynaverse.net/market


Which one was the one that came with TNG era ships? Is that available for purchase?

I believe that would be SFC III, which we are not currently authorised to distribute. Though I expect our demonstration of responsibility and reliability in running the SFC3 Dynaverse directory servers as well might count on that front in future. ;)

Though there are plenty of TNG style mods available for EAW and OP. Try OP with Chris Jones's UAW mod. It's a blast.

You didn't. It was inside knowledge.

DH, we're very aware of the Vista / Win 7 issue, and that's our top priority. By allowing the programmers to wade through the code at their own pace gives us several things, all of which are good.

Welcome back, now stop bitching and get involved !

I think even if the earth was destroyed by alien invaders this game would still be played somewhere in another galaxy or alternate reality :)

Are you kidding...after years of running sims?

All we need are the ships now and we can boot stomp the galaxy... :coolsmiley:

I play with myself all the time you blue bastage. And OP as well  :D

Id given up on online play again. Perhaps there is hope.

We also just fixed the hardpoints on the planets where point defense wont fire at drones. Now they will. Pretty sure FS will put it into 4.1

Myself, Corbo, Chuut, hexx and a few others play on Ghallanda.  DDO's a great game but it's just not the same as SFC was, nothing ever will be.

You know I don't read these threads often anymore (except the Bewbies one) and I haven't played the game since the last slave girl (2007) I beleive. But whatever happens with this. I got to handed to you guys for continuing this. And if a new game or a new patch fixes most of this game, I will definatly buy it.

I think if this combat engine were on a MODERN platform that was stable and could support say 12v12 engagements it could be the greatest game ever.

lol, 6vs6 would also totally rock, and yeah, if you could get just 12 to reliably hold in a mission, yes it would be the greatest game ever...
