LOL

Well, my own opinion is that if we want to make Enquiries, we need an Inquisitor ;)

Does Planet Descent still have close ties to Volition, a 3rd Party inquiry 'might' be the best way to go to get a response?

Curious, if we have an ex-Volition employee among us, (assuming he's willing), then why on earth suggest someone else? No offense IceFire, or the others, but having a Volition ex-employee doing the lobbying would be the ultimate...

Odin over at NMA said that Herve Caen's email address is [email protected]
Not sure if it still works though.

Its probably a good point that an ex-employee would probably the best possible person to do the job.  Attempting to get ahold of him.  I'm totally swamped with other non-related activities so it may be better for someone with a bit more (a bit) time to persue this more fully.  I won't even be around much for the next couple of weeks.

Aside from who does the contacting.  Whate the exact general consensus?  Is the community at large (note: Not HLP) position be that they would like to have Volition, the original creator, with the rights to the franchise?

I cannot speak for others, but my own opinion is that if a FS3 MUST happen, then it should happen from a company that will support Modding and Mission Design. That has been a sale point of the Freespace series from the very top, Volition have always leaned on that side of things, have always understood the importance of a central core of fans.

As long as it is produced by a reputable company that will uphold this tradition, and will allow us the freedom of expression that has produced such diverse mods as we have now, I will be happy :)

Well, at least all of my friends in Houston that play FS2 all agree that V should make some kind of FS3. I couldn't say for sure about the community as a whole. However, we here at HLP probably make up the majority of the FS community and whatever we decide will probably be the same as anyone else. Has anyone considered that maybe it would just be sufficient for V to make a mission disk (kind of like Silent Threat for FS1) and have it utilize all of the advancements of the SCP?

Why not, at the end of the day, that's more or less what they did with Freespace 1 to make Freespace 2 :)

Edit : Seriously though, I don't think basing a game on open source code would be Volitions cup of tea :)

How would you know? They released the source code didn't they? What were they expecting? We now have a chance to return the favor.

The main thing I want in FS3 is for V's plot to be used, not someone else's.

WildWolf (unless he's on bad terms or something)
IceFiar

I could - long-distance from Israel is both cheap and impressive ("Dudes, we just got a phone call from ISRAEL!" :p) - but alas, I'm not nearly as good on the phone as I am in writing/typing. :doubt:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Even better to be honest :) Shows that Freespace has support from people as far away as Israel, that'd make quite an impression if you ask me ;)

I can't figure out what exactly you want to know. Maybe I just missed it?
