Here's the good news/bad news...
Good News: IF someone comes along for interplay and knows what they are doing then FS* 'could' be good (though won't make everyone happy)
Bad News: "It's crap! Worse, it's
canon now!"
Well we can always do what TOS BSG fans did when Gal-80 came out (basically the network stepped in, slashed the budget to like 10% and filmed in all on "Earth" locations with piss poor imbecilic scripts that killed the franchise.)...
THEY IGNORED IT, "
THERE IS NO Galactica-80 SERIES!!! It never existed!"
It's the only way to keep your sanity. The Mod community will do as it wills and that's our right. If we try a demo and don't like it or word of mouth spreads negatively, it's not they can MAKE us buy it...
Whoever thinks of tackling FS*
better think long and hard about the whole project if they want to make a resurgence of the genre... The fan base IS there, but they are libel to alienate them as much as garner their support...
Incidentally, how does Snail shoot himself in the head?
Is his Avatar like Assey Magee or Bob Oblong and he can manipulate objects like they do (magic/TK)?
And no one around them comments on it as out of the ordinary?
