it couldn't hurt if Derik made a FS3
Ok,
a) it's Derek, not Derik...
b) you don't pronounce it "ffffffffssssssssssssssssthree", you pronounce it "effff esss threee", so you say "an FS3", not "a FS3", and anyway you don't really even need an article, just say "FS3"
c) The problem with Derek Smart making FS3 isn't that it wouldn't have the originally planned story, it's that, as Derek Smart himself said, the gameplay would be nothing like FreeSpace; it was pretty much going to be a free-roaming game with afaik no missions, probably minimal plot, etc., basically a pile of crap.
