Why are there so many fans of remakes??
The games are good as they are, a remake of a whole game wouldn't be very cool because WC1 has a poor mission design compared with what we can do today. Another thing is the fact that EA sells that game again and I don't think they will like to see their game for free, with better graphics but with sounds and everything they own the rights for. I want to remind everybody that we use EAs intellectual property every day and they could shut down every fan mod every day if they wish. So we should try to avoid making them believe we do harm to their volume of sales.
No offense meant, but its a thing everyone should think about.
I would rather recommend to do an own campaign. You will need some modelers doing nice WC1-ships (Yes, I want them all in Saga) and then you can go straight into Vega Sector und help the Tiger's Claw in its mission, and you can do things the player couldn't do in WC1. So do them!
We all want to see great ships and campaigns, and Saga can be modded better than any other WC- fan mod, i think.
