Ok, as a general rule: making threads about FS3 at all is a bad idea. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or anything: I'm just saying that if you continue some people might get mad at you.


As to your question, I think Karajorma's FAQ puts it better than I can:

How about we get the community together and write our own FS3?
After questions about FS3's release date this is one of the sorest points in the community. Posting a topic like this on one of the FreeSpace boards is actually more likely to get you insulted that simply asking when FS3 is coming out. While that question is merely naive this one carries a rather subtle insult. After all if the solution is so simple wouldn't the community have to be idiots not to have thought of it before? The fact is that the idea has been brought up several times before. It came up shortly after the FS2 source code was released when for the first time not only could we make a new story for FS3 but also improve the engine to do it. The idea was rejected then for several reasons and continues to be rejected every time it comes up for many of the same ones.
What would the plotline be? - The various members of the community have their own viewpoints of where the FS3 plotline would go. Furthermore we've had several years to become convinced that our particular plotline is the best one. It would be very hard to persuade the community to rally around a single official storyline for FS3. In fact the only thing that the community would rally round would be an official plotline from [V] but they continue to play their cards very close to their chests. Without this the community tend to go by the motto that "If it isn't [V], it ain't FS3".
Who would play it? - The entire community would know large portions of the plot line so who would the campaign be for?
Who has the time? - Most of the community are working on their own campaigns already. To do this would mean that they would have to give them up for the duration of the project.
Since a fan made FS3 would be no more official than Inferno or Derelict or any of the other campaigns already released or currently in production most people don't feel there's much point. Many of these mods are our own visions of FS3. There is no need for a semi-official one.

I recommend trying out some of the fan-made campaigns instead. A lot of them are quite good, some dare I say are even better done than FS2 (like Derelict). There's enough to keep you busy for a long time!

I think the only people who are cababple of making an "FS3" Mod is the Violition Staff itself...

[Snail]
