No, it means "not decided yet" (grin) If it was "dead" I wouldn't be wasting the company's money posting on these boards, would I? (okay, so maybe I would do it on my own time, but you see the point!)

So I guess we can still hold out and wait (and hope) for a Ticonderoga add on then? :D I think that would make your money since a lot of DW was done before in Sub Command, but a Ticonderoga would be a ship I'd love to sink my teeth into!

There was one Ticonderoga sim many years back, and I loved that one to death!

Oh, yes. Oh God yes. Or an Arleigh Burke.

I can dream ya know!

Maybe a grass roots Tico sim is needed these days? It has been 15 years since I programmed something so I am probably out.

There was never more then one one the forums. Before FT it was Jamie. Sure others were listed as Mods or as Forum users, but in effect for over 95% of the time only Jamie posted stuff.

Don't get me wrong .. I didn't mean 1 men is not enough for forums, or that there never was more such men.

I meant that if there is one man on the forums, and he is the only man allocated to the project, and his only job is to give support on the form (I mean concerning the project, I guess he does something more), it means the project is not much alive.

Sorry for spoiling the debate .. won't do it anymore. But wait ! It made Tiger talk again :cool: At least we know it's not officially dead.

If you call me out, I'll respond. I read the board almost every day, sometimes on weekends too. I just don't post unless I have something to say, and with the current situation I've basically got no news for you on a day-to-day basis. And since I'm new (by Sonalysts standards) I've got to be very careful what I post, since almost everything the company does is either proprietary or an actual government secret.

Dr.Sid 05-18-07 10:45 AM

I really appreciate your work, Tiger, as well as all SCS efforts. :up:

I just see no point in posting requests for updates, or even for full graphics overhaul. It's the less probable thing to happen to DW, isn't it ?

Only way we could get better graphics is new software title, or at least, if I would build new graphical engine, I would give the game new name :D

I think Sonalysts next game, if there is one, is going to be Fleet Command 2.

That's only if they are planning addons. If, as some people think, they have mostly abandoned the game and do not expect to profit more from it, they wouldn't lose money. However, making extra tools available means someone will have to spend time on that, for no expected gain for the company, so that's unlikely too, although it has happened with some other games such as MiG Alley, EECH and (questionable circumstances) Falcon 4.

Agreed, but it's not unreasonable to ask SCS if SCS prohibits new platform modding.

Sure its not unreasonable, but especially that question has been asked over and over again, even from before this game was released the first time. The answer to that question can be easily found and still it seems that people think by asking this question again and again the answer will be different. SCS has made it pretty clear whats ok by them and whats not.

Because of no new playables added on?
