Hello and salutations! Again it has ben awhile life being busy as usual. Dropped in to see how it is going and I see that it is going just fine. I havent freelanced in awhile and I think I need to dust off the disc and go heavy on the guns.

To Roo, FF CoT and Solarus -

Hi guys and nice job here as usual. If you need anything let me know. I am only an email away.

Honestly you may have a better chance at gaining release rights of creating a Clone of an initial game concept and run it as a first edition. Not sure if I am remembered anymore but I and Peacekeeper created Universal Modding that seems like ages ago. We went down every avenue we knew of to gain the coveted source code from Microsoft and was shut down at every turn. I am lead to believe one of 2 things;

1. Microsoft may be holding onto the source code to do a 2nd edition at a time of their choosing.

or

2. Digital Anvil (the original creators that Microsoft bought out) still retained a certain level of control dis allowing Microsoft to go any further thus shutting down all avenues of possibility.

You have a good thing going here. My best suggestion to all of you is to keep on keeping on and dropping the idea of the elusive source code altogether. Hard pill to swallow I know but it saves from wasting time beating the same horse. If I did not believe in what you were doing here I would have never allowed anything to be taken from Universal Modding data files to be used here.

On another note:

Hello once again to all my friends. Life has been busy for me dealing with other projects but as we know that is how life goes. To FriendlyFire, Cheeseontoast, RooAvery, LancerSolarus and many others here I just took a look and I say good show. Keep up the good work!

Wow just read this. Yes, it has been awhile since I been here lol. This almost reads like a job resume. no disrespect. Hmm, maybe one day I will give you a job seeing I like people with a good sense of humor.

Grim

Well now hows it going? Been awhile since I have been here and a further way from the old days of running Universal Modding. Not even sure if I am remebered or if anyone I know still plays this game. Just dropped in to say hello.

Grim

Thank you Roo for that fine introduction. I am still reading this site to gain the knowledge of what all of you have been up to. Let me say that I am impressed by what i have seen so far.

I have a few ideas I will be discussing here over the next few days to few weeks. As for the merging of Starport and Universal Modding, I think that to be the best idea but it does not stop there. For a lot of what I am about to propose will take a changing of thought(s) of many of you. Let’s face it guys, we are truly talking about the future of Freelancer. More so than many of the conversations I have engaged in a year or so ago. This time MS has fully removed all support for this game and the Global Server is now gone. The time to come together as a working unit is now.

I recognize many of you here and that is a good start. For those of us who want to see all of this succeed it is time to role up our sleeves and get to work.

Grim

Still looking good guys. Keep up the good work.

P.S. Hi Sanka02 its been awhile. I used to love to tear it up on Vanguard. Awesome Mod with many servers to choose from. One day I will dust off the disc and do it all over again. With FLDCT of course.

I enjoy long walks on a moonlite beach, popcorn, horsebackriding, target shooting, my enemies ships burning with one point of life left in it, things blowing up, people screaming at me for blowing them up, doing it again because they wont shut up about it….

Seriously,

Hi guys! Came around to take a look. Looks good so far. I will be watching this site in anticipation of things to come. Hi FF & Cheesy. Been a while.
