Post by: aldo_14 on September 26, 2003, 03:46:34 pm: Tragic.... though i could easily understand their reasons - more than once I've considered giving up Reci, and that's only a fraction compared to the work the TBP team have had to do/

Post by: Styxx on September 26, 2003, 04:22:57 pm: Now, really, they already published a lot of amazing content. It would be no shame if they stopped - even though that's not certain, as some members expressed interest in continuing it.

Seriously. Find me a "best campaigns and mods" thread on HLP where anyone mentions TBP before I do! Sometimes I think that if I didn't mention it no one else would!

Post by: Fury on September 27, 2003, 01:52:57 am: Well, not all of us are ready to call it quits and will continue developing TBP if there are enough people to do whatever is required, eg. modelling, texturing and fredding. This is where the community should step in! If you like TBP, why the heck don't you participate in it's development then? If you can't, then learn.

As it is now and so many team members ready to leave, remaining members won't probably be enough to fully develop the TC further. In the end we will see how it turns out, how many will actually leave or stay active and motivated.

We really want to release whatever we have currently in the works. But I don't think TBP's main campaign (EA Civil War) will ever see daylight in TBP, perhaps in IFH (http://ifh.firstones.com/) or some other platform. Although Skullar does not like this setup at all, so again, we'll see.

Since the patch will have version number 2.1, I believe you will see 2.2 released which will have current WIP and unreleased ships. After each release, it will become more unlikely there will be next one. At the moment I doubt there will be any after 2.2.

What did you expect? This TC has been in development since october 1999, although not all the members have been in the team from the very beginning, it's been a long road. Most have lost interest and motivation in TBP and/or FS2. It's no wonder really.

Talking figuratively, FS2 is a braindead man and fs2_open is a respirator. Personally, I am ready to pull the plug...
But that's just my opinion.

Ow, and see the last line in my sig. I employ everyone to say something good about TBP in their sigs to show your appreciation for their hard work and dedication! :D

Post by: Stunaep on September 27, 2003, 05:31:03 am: even though I have been feeling the same as Mr. Fury lately (I cringe every time I see the LM4 download numbers on Fileplanet... though this may have to do with a mirror being available), I WANT BABYLON 5 IN FS!!! I'm perfectly happy with the content we have, and I agree that perhaps it is the time to quit, but please, for the love of god, GIVE US BABYLON 5!

Post by: karajorma on September 27, 2003, 05:24:22 pm: Just to remind you all that even if they do call it quits and no one makes any more mods I doubt it is the end of B5 campaigns for FS2. There are several teams using the B5 mod to make their own campaigns. :)
