Joke / Photoshopped screen shots... Enough is Enough!

Didn't annoy me at all, and I'm sorry you felt you had to change it.

"This is a joke. This is only a joke. Had this been serious you would have been directed to tune to your local Konelrad station for instructions on how to deal with it. This is a joke. This is only a joke."

I remember the first good laugh i had at your expense was when you tried to make a cell phone call at the 2008 subsim meet and they answered the phone...

"Hey" you said "where are you guys?"

and the person answered "ummm... standing right next to you."

And now the joke's on you. It was Neal who made that call, and it was to me.

The big joke on me at that meet was when I had Dan for a roommate for four days, and told Neal what a great guy I though Dan was and would really like to meet their spokesman, Elanaiba, someday.

Had no idea they were one and the same.

For those of you not around at that time:

That never gets old. Happened to us the first breakfast morning of the 2009 meet.

rascal101, I guess now you might be a bit harsh. Though I am also a hardcore realism fan over anything else (graphics lala included), I think SHV per se doesn't seem to bad. The only deal breaker presently for most people appears to be the DRM, though I'd bet many will after a while nonetheless give in and buy it. However, I think it is likely that this will leave a big dent in UBI's sales, not only SHV.
Sure, whether it will kick SHIII+GWX from its throne, or whether it will get a little to childish feel with the new interface and the RPG elements, that will have to be seen. I won't make a judgement before I try it -- possible in a few years as budget title without DRM (and by then hopefully again with GWX, another good reason to wait!). The campaign and the enhance AI including wolf packs may be a little sweetner.

I would like an announcement that an addon with all the Types II, IX, XXI and XXIII (even with generic interiors) as well as a SHIII kind of full war campaign with all the associated stuff will follow. The war career doesn't need to influence the war, nor account for all merchant ships sunk, although it would be nice if just tonnage and warships sunk could make a little effect (even if it's just a newspaper article...).

The only thing I find sad these days is that the real loosers of the DRM issue are the development studios, not UBI. But maybe some nice publisher will buy/contract the SH studio once UBI is "economical history"...
