Hey Boulder, welcome to BCC.  And as for a name, I'm just going to be a radical and suggest... Captain Boulder? :P

Indeed, welcome to this little nuthouse of ours.

"Beyond the rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

I've been away for a while. I formed SBP07 to try and get younger modders together to learn together. It sort of lost steam after about a year. I think some good was done though. After 4 years of inactivity I decided to return and see what is still going on around here. I've been working with maya a lot lately, but I still think max is better in some ways. I wouldn't mind joining a ship building team as a member. Running the whole show isn't really what I'm into any more. I started writing missions, then hardpoints and eventually modeling and last and probably least texturing (not my strongest suit) lol. I go by BCAriakas now, but some of you may remember me as MScott. Anyway, glad there is still life here. Some of the WIP projects are most impressive. I hope to talk to many of you soon. -BCAriakas :)

now MScott i recognise from old stuff, somewhere.

most of what your looking at is the remnants of Bridge Commander's moddeling efforts. almost everyone else has bolted to "excalubur", the "remaster" of the BC engine for modern comps.  the people remaining here are the real diehards, and relative noobs, like me (even though I have a kitbash out for beta; which some of you need to still report back to me about, please...)

i ran into a comment on an eye candy ship that disturbed me, and reflects the latest thoughts on the BC moddeling scene

I cant really see any use in this, but then all I do on bc is blow stuff up and this is already blown up.

Has no practical use for me, I guess you can use it for a mission type deal but modding on this game has pretty much stopped.
the guys in here are going to be the only ones keeping BC alive for a while. sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

I certainly do not feel like this community we have here is a remnant of what it used to be... in fact we're pushing BC harder than ever to it's limits (my honest opinion) :P
 
Hi MScott :) You might remember me as Dr_Mccoy1701a, back in 2008 I exchanged few favours with  your team mate - Cord ;)
Glad to see you still rolling here, would love to see you back in action !

Cheers !

Hi everyone.

I am a big fan of Trek and have been playing STBC it since it came out so many years ago. I briefly spent some time playing the original Kobyashi Maru mod with some friends but after while I reverted back to the original files so I could enjoy the campaign.

I have always been interested in the amazing things you can do with this game as far as modifications go. I studied 3D animation in college and although I have never taken part in game modding, I would love to learn about it and offer any help I can. :yay:

Welcome to the community  :) My uncle lives in Boston, he ran for Alderman in Springfield last year (fell on his face - oh uncle Fitz)

Have a look around the forums, and if you have any questions talk to Jimmy or Neb (our elders  :P) and they'll sort you out. Jimmy likes cookies too  :D

[Lolololol I just called Jimmy "Jilly"!]
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
 We are not now that strength which in old days
 Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
 One equal temper of heroic hearts,
 Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Thanks for the warm welcome. My brother is about to finish his masters degree down at JWU. I checked out that thread and it seems like very exciting stuff. I wish there was a way to take a more advanced game engine, like Source, and recreate the game. A pilot project would be the first mission or a couple ships in a quick battle setting. I am not really capable of doing it my self.
