True to my word, on behalf of this community, I have purchased a couple of copies of SFC2: Orion Pirates that I'm willing to gift to this community. I'll ship you the game. It will cost you nothing. All I ask in return is that you give OP's Dynaverse a chance and do what you can to make it a success.
E-mail me at dogmatix@cox.net if you would like the chance to receive one of my copies. My retail source has several addtional copies available and if the demand is high, I'll probably be willing to pick up addtional copies as my personal finances permit.
I'm no programmer. I couldn't script a mission to save my life. I've never been chosen to be a beta tester for SFC. I can do this and i'm willing to do it.

Thouroughly enjoyed our session on Reclamation tonight. Some hairy moments and a lot of fun. First time I've really had a good runout with the LDR's CWLP. Oh, she purrs, and what a bite. Meow
Folks, the supplies are cheaper, the shipyards are filling up. If you have a spare hour or so, pop on and see for yourself if you think it's playable. Go DV boosting, It definitley works with neutral cartel layer. We even had 2 consecutive successful neutral co-op missions with the Courier Intercept, then it decided it had had enough of that and went back to no effect. that is so weird.

using the OP Plus Refit shiplist. Mucho fun!
I've played a number of campaigns that worked pretty well on the OP D2
in the past. EAW drew me back when the SQL db was enabled.
My big wish for the OP D2 is an SQL db. This might help us address
some of the other issues indirectly through mission scripting and
database management.
There a number of very interesting and groundbreaking
campaigns coming up in EAW, but I'll login to the OP D2
when I get a chance, promise!

If this were the case, all we'd need is a CD writter and some people with too much time on their hands . . .
EAW rocks. OP rocks and hopefully it wil have a kick-ass D2 future.

If there isn't someone more able to contribute to the OP D2 who wants a copy, I'd be happy to add it to my discs. But, if a designer/programmer/admin type wants it, please let them have first dibs. And, unlike Klingons, I'll pay for my copy. You don't have a problem with a third party out of state workcheck, do ya?
Gwarlock
No worries, Gwarlock...just e-mail me your addy and I'll send you one of my copies.
Just to clarify my original post in this thread...I consider giving OP a chance and playing on OP servers helping the cause. No special preference is given to programmers and potential server admins. I just want to see if I can help get people to play the game. It really does have just about everything EAW has, and more.

Cheap copies are indeed available. What i'm trying to do here is donate...subsidize the growth of the OP community. Make it as easy as possible for those who want a chance at the game or are curious about it to get their hands on a copy. $5+$5 isn't bad. Free is better. I can't promise to buy a copy for everyone who want's one, but I'll do my best.
Tracey and Gwarlock...send me your mailing addresses and I'll get my two copies in the mail to you ASAP.

I was told they will reorder them and will have them restocked in 7-10 days.
I should be able to afford to get more by then.

I had considered that and would be happy to do it. I just wasn't aware of how readily people could get their hands on the program itself. I left all forms of software pirating behind about 10 years ago. Before that, sad to say, I was deep in it...
I'll be more than happy to provide the CD keys beforehand to anyone who wishes. Again...just drop me an e-mail and I shall do my utmost to hook you up...

Wanted to post an update (which will also serve as a *BUMP.")
I have yours and Gwarlock's copies of OP packed up. I shall be thoroughly unable to get to the post office today. I'm shooting for first thing in the morning. I'm going to send yours air mail, Tracey. I'm hopeful you get it in a reasonable amount of time. I've ordered a few things from Australia (CDs from Tom Ellard, the creative force also known as the band "Severed Heads") that have gotten here fairly quickly.
Post by: FPF_TraceyG on May 02, 2003, 01:51:16 pm
Thanks Dog, much appreciated. Hooch tried sending me something a few months ago, and it never arrived, and the US mail was unable to locate it (as far as I know). To be on the safeside, does it cost anything extra to have the post registered or certified? Just in case...
By the way, I like Severed Heads, they came out with a song a few years back, it was pretty creepy and had a narrative through the middle of it about, you guessed it, severed heads!!

Not many people would volunteer their own time and money to help bring more people into a game, although I'm not sure what anyone could give them to sufficiently honor contributions such as these. Taldren gave out awards for technical support, maybe an award for community contributions should be next.

I don't know Karnak.... I had quite a good time at 'The Mad Hatter' in Georgetown on several occasions.

Currently, all copies of OP that I own are spoken for. They have not been replaced yet at the local shops, but I am just waiting on them, then I will have 3-5 more copies available.

Mailed your pacel via U.S.P.S. Air Mail. Any other way and they were going to make me repackage it. Sadly, I didn't have time for that, so we'll just cross our fingers and hope it gets to ya. I'm thinking maybe 10 days?
Gwarlock:
I took yours out of the retail box and just mailed the CD and the instruction booklet in a large padded envelope since I didn't have a suitable box for shipping. I sent it via First Class mail, so I suspect you'll see it towards the end of next week.
Both copies of OP are in the mail as of now.

Golly gee willickers and jumping jehosefats, guess what I found for $10 at Software, Etc. nestled beside a couple $20 SFC2:EAW boxes with nary a SFC3 title box to be found. So, while my wife was at the cooleth Women's clothing stores with lotsa tight dresses and she was piontedly looking at the choice items directly opposite from the ones I soso "graciously" recommended, I grabbed an SFC2:OP copy. I guess I'll be bagging my lunch at work this week to compensate for financial drag in the household balance sheet caused by this transaction. However, I'll take Dogmatix's word on it like Obelix and Asterix would and devour the OP Magic Potion to the dismay of Romans (Romulans) everywhere.
Thanks for the offer Bearslayer, in any case. I appreciated it.

My source has many, many copies of OP available. The offer is still good folks. A brand-spanking-new copy of OP at no cost to you for anyone who wants one for as long as I can afford to do this. I don't care who you are. I only care that you give OP D2 a chance and do what you can to help make it a success. You can do that by playing it.

Since that is the case I would be interested in a copy myself.

I think most of the existing owners are waiting for a server to play on. However, the idea is to increase OP D2 playership...hence my attempts at helping to subsidize the growth of its available playerbase.

Never played X-ships in a dyna before. Is it like SFC3 where ya run around at top speed until yer ready to die?
I tried a I-CCX that had a 60 point power curve in a skirmish. That was cool.

If all you do in SFC3 is run around at top speed, yer gonna die. Don't matter if you're ready or not.
As for the X-ships in OP, yes they are pretty much exactly like that. Just go speed 31 and beat the snot out of each other. The first one to pop loses.
Post by: KBF-Dogmatix on May 16, 2003, 02:42:11 pm
I think those that prefer the SFC2 milleu will prefer x-ship combat over SFC3, and visa versa. I think FireSoul's addition of SFB-style x-ships will breath new life into x-ships on the Dyna, though they are, as yet, untested to my knowledge. I think SFCx's "Tech Wars" server will increase the data we have on that account.

That's about it, mah brutha. You'll be hapy to know that your EAW models work just fine in OP...so all ya have to do is replace the models in question with your EAW models, if you're using any of the many beautiful ships created by the modeler community.
