Post by: karajorma on February 26, 2004, 06:40:37 am: The Mercury Affair was meant to be a 20 mission campaign with no mods whatsoever in it. I even FREDded half of the missions :)
2 Years later and I'm still making mods for it and I've got the plot down for a mini-campaign set before it which needs another 3 mods.

So yeah. I find it a problem :D

Post by: Killfrenzy on February 26, 2004, 11:33:40 am: I think I'm living proof of 'Feature Creep.'

I started out making a couple of ships that I'd designed a long time ago, just so I could fly them in FS2.

Now I'm planning a three-part campaign with six different 'flavours' of ships, (five human, one alien) along with a complete changeout of everything related to the FS2 universe......

I've had to shelve it for the time being because I simply cannot do everything by myself.......:(

Title: I think I fall into that category
Post by: Star Dragon on March 07, 2004, 04:35:21 pm: Let's see, just a small mini-mod to show people how cool trek could be in FS2...

1 year later...

Have to do a mod for EACH era

Not to mention a SECRET WAR being waged

Oh and MONSTERS, got to have them!

Gee forgot the PIRATES! They won't be happy!

ship count up from 20 to a projection of around 5-6 HUNDRED?

Nah, you can never have too many features...:p

You talking about Janos or MG there? :D

Speaking of MG I signed on to do a single mission for UT because he'd posted asking for help. 2 years later I'm somehow joint leader! :D

Five gets you ten that it's a 40+ mission campaign needing 10 new mods before the end of the month :D

That's exactly how I got started with Seeds of Rebellion :D

Post by: LAW ENFORCER on March 08, 2004, 04:43:20 am: actualy its a 20-25 mission campaign with 30 - 40 or so MODs... (and they will be included in the main TC to)

IT WILL REMAIN SMALL! :mad2:

Title: Feature creep
Post by: karajorma on March 08, 2004, 05:07:09 am: See what I mean :D

SoR started out as a 5 mission campaign with no mods (I can pump out missions very quickly so it shouldn't have been a problem) but then I added 3 new mods and they take me AGES to do :rolleyes:
