Since I just got banned from SectorGame, I'm somewhat on very good behavior. So be grateful that I don't flame you.Well one thing can I ask before I get banned do you think Interplay will sell it for 2.5 Mill?

Don't worry you won't get banned... The admins aren't that mean here.But really how much money is the FS copyright?

Well, first a welcome...
Why did you get banned :wtf:? I didn't see anything bad that you posted.
Alright, Snail I changed my post. It's gone, ok? So stop being so harsh...
Did you get IPBan forever or temporary?

I called BlackHole an AssHole in the Shoutbox. I got IP banned as a result.
No my Grandfather died and he was land rich and now I have lots of land that I can't do nothing with.Alright, Snail I changed my post. It's gone, ok? So stop being so harsh...
Sorry nubbles, I'm a bit... Grumpy right now (not only did I get banned from SG, but my television and headphones just went down the drain. :/Did you get IPBan forever or temporary?
I don't know. He didn't even notify me. I don't even know if I got banned or if I am just, for some reason, unable to access SG.Well one thing can I ask before I get banned do you think Interplay will sell it for 2.5 Mill?
Why? Did you get the lottery?
No my Grandfather died and he was land rich and now I have lots of land that I can't do nothing with.
Corvette, the license would probably cost within the $10 million range. Use your grandfather's money and put it to something more useful, like, I don't know, college or a new house.
I don't want an FS3 to be honest. :nervous:
The only way that a FS3 may call the atention if is a multiple genere game, what is really very hard and expensive to make, we dont to even think how hard will be to keep the current FS2 combat style.

It wouldn't be FS at all that way IMHO.
Snail, drop the drama. You were not banned nor had your normal membership access reduced in any way on SG.
You've seen it all. So don't do it again... But since we're here anyways:
1. Bosch would be friends with shivans.
2. Errr...partially related. Language is the most common.
3. Well while Earth and Mars are at war (INF), the second fleet jumps in.
If all you want is an upgraded engine, learn to code and improve the SCP :p

If I where to buy the rights to the Freespace series then go to THQ and Volition to make an FS3 and fully fund the making of Freespace 3. do you think THQ and Volition would do that for me?This would be tricky...very tricky I think. Nobody really knows at this point what level Interplay is functioning at. They have basically become defunct...I think they still have a website and an e-mail address but theres nothing going on that I've heard about in a very long time. They may have already sold the rights...Volition last we heard was doing reasonably well and the guys there are very proud of FreeSpace. It wouldn't surprise me if they already owned the rights but I really don't know.
Also if I where to do that what would you want in FS3
things I would want
1. What the hell happened to Bosh?
2. The Ancients are they still around and what way are they related to the Vasudans?
3. do Terrans get back to Earth and what happened to Earth after all this time?
I don't know about any of you, but if Freespace 3 came out, I would buy it and play it regardless of who made it or how good it would be. :nervous:Thats pretty desperate. So if I were to make a ripoff of Asteroids and call it Freespace 3, would you buy it?

@Corvette: if you live in America, and the land is worth 2.5 million, you won't get that much. when you sell the land you will have to pay capital gains tax, unless you invest the money back into real estate within ~ 6 months. and capital gains tax takes damn near 50% of the cash. I'm judging by your local time zone that you live in america or canada, but maybe you don't.Lets just say I had 10 mill total after taxes I had 5.5 mill and I want to spend 2.5 mill on the fs copyright
what if it were a derek smart production, with 3d support only partialy implemented?Derek Smart could not make a good game if he tryed
I swear, if I had 2.5 mil to spend I'd invest it in real space exploration :p
1. Mankind doesn't have and probably never will have the technological knowhow to travel beyond our own solar system
Lots of people never thought we'd have flying machines you know. Same goes for going into orbit, to the moon, etc.
I'd say **** the whole space exploration business. Let's save our own planet first, before even thinking about conquering the universe.
Can the humans, once they discover the Starborn, just say "no" to the Starborn's influence? Sure, playing along with the Starborn gets you rewards, but c'mon, only the most selfish people imaginable would further the destruction of their own race!
But the Starborn are far more subtle than that. They’re not going to tell one of their ‘game pieces’ what the ultimate point of the Great Game is. (It’s not annihilation of the race, BTW, merely destroying human civilization. Although annihilation could easily happen. The SB don’t want to waste all those years of manipulation if they don’t have to. They know that human civilization will re-emerge from a new Stone Age and that they’ll eventually be able to play another round of the Great Game – after all, it’s happened before.
It might work more like this: The SB find a Sensitive born to a powerful Earth family (powerful because of the works of previous generations of Sensitives). They start influencing him when he’s a boy, telling him how beautiful the Earth is. The Sensitive becomes a Mother Earth activist. With continuing ‘help’ and his family’s fortune, he starts to gain political power. He becomes the advisor of Kings and Prime Ministers on the subject of the environment. He might even become a Prime Minister himself. Along the way, he’s accumulated followers – some are lesser Sensitives who ‘know’ he’s right about everything, others are Normals who like what he’s saying. Some of them consider themselves “men of action”.
Naturally, the SB don’t stop helping him there. Now that he has real power, they change the tone, telling him that the people living in the Martian colonies are somehow wrong. It’s wrong to live under domes when beautiful Mother Earth is available to all. Slowly, he begins to feel that the Martians are actually evil and his advice starts to put the Martians in a poorer and poorer light. Over time, he comes to hate the Martians and, directly and indirectly, he influences a sizable portion of the Earthers to agree with him, including his ‘men of action’.
At some point, a situation arises where one of his ‘men of action’, maybe a Capship captain, is in a position to either help or hurt some Martians. He hurts them. Tensions build. Rhetoric, especially the Sensitives’s, gets louder. Someone pulls the trigger and humanity finds itself in civil war. The SB sit back, share a bowl of metaphorical popcorn, and enjoy.
I think that Lobo is that hippie.
| The Starborn Hippie Dude | Lobo |
| Is Sensitive | Is rude and annoying |
| Is being influenced by some aliens | Has other mental problems |
| Has outside help and a family fortune | Is rarely helped and hasn't even seen a fortune |
| Gains political power and influences bigwigs | Has no political agenda and is always rejected when presenting his ideas |
| Has followers | Is generally avoided |
| Thinks Martians are evil | Didn't even know Mars was inhabited |
| Causes a civil war | Is highly insignificant and cannot make a difference |
when the terran-vasudan war is released fs2 will be bumped up too fs3. so why does everyone want to make a fs3 if it will end up an fs4?
The volunteer freespacers need to choose their own ships before they get catapulted. One guy will have written on his shirt hercules. V still wont get it until a guy with the shirt hercules mark II is catapulted into their building. Then when V tries to get cops, we catapult a guy with a shirt that says perseus into the cops. And V will definitely know we mean business when we send up a really huge fat guy from the catapults into their building with a shirt that says ursa.
Well, clever vasudan outfits really aren't that clever. The average vasudan is naked all the time and likes to chop off peoples heads. So i guess we'd just have one huge crowd of lanky naked people chopping off V employees heads. At the same time this is not a good idea as it seems highly homo-eroticly wrong.What if he actually meant people dressed up as Vasudans, armed with cleavers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleaver_%28knife%29)?

And then we could really scare V with our hordes of shivans. That would be a whole bunch of people dressed in black clothes crab walking everywhere with laser pointers shined in V employees eyes (shivans have that personal beam cannon).Well, if I had an office and a bunch of people dressed as Shivans and armed with laser pointers happened to crab walk in, I'd be genuinely scared.
