Oy.
Vey.
Methinks we all should get out for a day or two, doing some exercices, so that EVERYBODY, the flame-baiters like the moderators, can think straight. Otherwise, we're going to sink the community faster that anything else could.

I agree. Let's all take a breather, relax, think about something else for a while. We're all gonna just get worked up and nobody needs that right lads and ladies?

Sound advice. HLP (as a site) needs to sort out various positions to this. Obviously this gives us more than enough to do without having to worry about the apparently needed moderation of some community members.

Believe me when I say that what needs to be done shall be done to keep things on an even keel here. This means that - at the end of the day - it is the users who will lose out. Nobody wants this - but if forced - that is the way it shall be.

To that end, if everyone would take a step back - take a breath - get a glass of water and some sleep... whatever works. Things may continue to be more productive.

Got a working server ? :)

Ok, I downloaded the demo...
Now being perfectly honest without trying to flame.  I wouldn't pay for it, it wasn't impressive at all... I don't know what Fs3 (if he gets it) would be like.  But it was not any fun at all.  Sorry Derek but even know you're doing this for money and don't care where your taking this.  I have to say, why can't you make a new BC.  More people would be happy :(

Thought you meant you were going to get the demo of Freespace 3 when it came out.

Yes I see that. Well you can't base an assumption on UC. UC is a vastly different game and style from Freespace 3. And like I said, he already said he wouldn't make a Freespace like Battlecruiser.

Well anyway, I stated in another thread that I will download the Fs3 demo.  So it really doesn't matter.

Derek, please come back

Well I think everyone should join the nodewar irc chat about this, or use the NW forums since it has less to worry about in terms of moderation.

Just a thought. Keep HLP for what we actually do - fs2.

Fs2?

correction:  

Freespace, period.
and If the original V writers don't write this plot, I will not accept it as canon.  Fs3 is no more canon than a BWO without :V: writers.

Let's be honest, when was the last time someone modded fs1?

I don't know, but It's not only modding we do here.  This IS the last freespace community.  This is where both games lay ;)

This sounds crazy, but how about a main hall that's consistent with the design of the ship you're on. Has anyone else noticed that there's virtually no conceivable way that the window in the Aquitaine's main hall could be where it is? It's little but it bugs the hell out of me.
