Good idea. Now start coding it....with classes.

At this point, I'm thinking even if that did occur, no one would want to do it. After all, if we had a "canon" FS3, then what would happen to all the mods that came before it? Would they just be relegated to the dust heap, because they're not "right"? I don't think it would even be best for the community if a community-made  FS3 came out.

I don't think it could ever be canon unless Volition made it. So it'd just be another community campaign.

Yeah, good point. It would be an organizational nightmare...

Not as much a nightmare as the Singapore Armed Forces are.

If we're going to suceed in any such endeavour, we would need to achieve something with the codes barely could in the time before 3.6:

Temptation.

It's as simple as that. The temptation to 'play' around with a texture or a model in an attempt to make it better will cause us more problems than RL. it takes away resources from the things that need to be done, and we would then detract into something that 'resembled' what FS3 was supposed to be, but end up in a bunch of half-inspired pieces of unfinished scrap files on someone's hard disk.

Curiously enough, that is more or less exactly why it would never get finished KT, because it would mean the forumers would all have to agree on things We don't do agree

My point exactly, which is ironically (torwards the spirit of freespace) why I am happy that we ended on such a cliffhanger and haven't had a proper ending. Aside from the Source Code, I think it's the main thing that's kept us such a 'strong' community.

Yep, it'[s the diversity of the community and the freedom of interpretation in the game that has kept us going
