Read the poll options and reply with the one that would best describe your feelings on making a possible FS1 FRED contest.
-
Add another option: "I could do either". :)
-
Your preference.
-
Suppose you have no preference and could go either way?
This also goes with the mod - if someone makes a FS1-era campaign, they'd have to use FS1, since they can't use the Port.
(eh, maybe I'm splitting at hairs)
-
Yes, yes you are. I'm trying to find out if there's enough interest to warrant a FS1 contest. Consider that FS1 has less SEXPs and less features.
-
I can only think of 3 people that would want to and 1 that would actually go through with it.
-
Ten silver dollars says the one person that would go through with is it is Snoj, right? Am I right? Yeah, I'm right :nod:

mmmm hmmm
You get a cookie!
-
I would do both, FS1 and FS2, regardless of what options the poll gives me.
-
preferably a FS1 contest, but it matters not to me
-
Well at the moment there are no votes for 'FS1 only' or 'prefer FS1'. So it's not looking particularly likely.
-
That's why I suggested the additional option. I'm with Blue Lion and Stealth - I would prefer FS2, but I would certainly enter a FS1 contest if there was one. Maybe you should have said, "If there were a FS1 FRED contest, would you enter it?".

Run the FS2 contest first. Once we`ve seen how popular it is and how many people enter we can worry about an FS1 contest.
Even if I would enter an FS1 contest I doubt that I would since I would prefer to spend my time on improving my FS2 mission. It seems more sensible to run one contest at a time.
-
Ah. Good Plan (tm).

you're right. I guess I'm the only one here with only fs1. Hence the unofficial HSJ FS1 FRED contest thing.
*beats reaper over head for not sending FS2 fast enough*
I think I should download that demo SCP version. Does it come with FRED2?
[EDIT] I didn't know this was here until today.
*makes mental note to read the 'General Freespace' forum more often*

I`m a terrible fredder, but will do FS1 mission if it helps :D

Hey no need to go to any trouble for my sake. I'm just a FS universe junkie that has too much time on his hands and not enough money.

i would
-
Me too. :)
But others had a good point. Let's not dilute the FS2 contest for now... maybe when that's done we can have a FS1 contest. :nod:
-
I only do FreeSpace 2 FREDding.:D Because of the beam weapons!
-
well since it's only me who seems to want to do FS1 missions then scrap the contest idea.
-
I would love for there to be a FRED 1 contest, and I'd enter that if there was one, definitely! C'mon, people! I don't think you give FS1 the credit it deserves. Some of the best missions I've ever played, in fact MOST of the best missions I've ever played, were on FS1.
I'd do it, even though yes, I prefer FS2.

And what would stop them from being written for FS2 instead?
Unless you have an idea that needs the ships from FS1 that didn`t appear in FS2 I can`t see any reason for not modding in FRED2 instead
-
FS1 does have limited options, and I'm in love with a lot of the FS1 ships far more than the FS2 ones. :nod: But whatever, that's just my vote.
-
can i enter my entire campaign? ;) i have several fs 1 missions, i'd have to play the campaign again though to see which one i would enter, but yeah, i'd enter one.

Wrong, i would have voted Only FS1, but AOL users still can't always post...
Hold a FS1 contest anyway... see who enters... its not right to keep people who can't get FS2 to run on their computer out of the picture... even if you have to limit the thing so you can't enter both contests, its better than nothing
-
Go to Home of the Underdogs and download FS2. There you go. You`re no longer excluded :)
-
I say we should have the contest, this is a freespace community, not a freespace 2 community.

I have FS2... but it doesn't always run on a 6 gigabite computer with 56k ram and 450 mghrtz... It doesn't help that the install disk only sometimes is readable...
Plus, i like FreeSpace TGW FREDding better than FS2, because capship battles last longer than a few beam shots nad FS1 FREDding is easier, but just as fun...
I'm also biased because FreeSpace TGW is more likley to make you want to finish it in two days, where FS2 makes yuou want to occasionally take a break--My opinion
Don't get me wrong, i like FS2 as much as the next guy, but FS1 is outranking FS2 in my list of favorite games...
BTW I'm not trying to undermine the FS2 contest, but i think the FS1 contest would be a big hit after the FS2 one is finished...

I`m sure you mean 56 Meg there. Even my spectrum had more ram than 56k :)
Anyway I guess your points are mostly vaild but you do know that you can remove the beams in FS2 and have capital ships duke it out like in the old days :)
-
yeah, that was a typo, i want to get my computer upgraded to a 128meg with 12 or more gigabites...
