Hey guys!
@Worf359Alpha: You're a hardpointer, eh? I always hated that job - I used to get Executioner and Elminster to do those for me, thankfully.
But 24 Mvam ships?? Wow. Y'know, I've always considered MVAM 2.0 to be fairly clunky, due to the method of setting up the separation points, and the text-based instructions. It was always my plan to set up a graphical step-by-step program.
Quick trivia: did you know Raven of BCU bought the MVAM code? It's true! He was planning on using it for BC 2.0, or whatever he was calling it at the time, which I suppose never materialized.
@JimmyB: I definitely recognize you! How are you doing? It's been a while!
Excalibur? Amaral always did love that ship. I'll check out their forums, but whenever someone mentions a community-driven game on the horizon, I always expect the worst. Though I absolutely cannot say any ill about these folks. After all, they made the
Centaur for me, after I pestered them for months about it, and made them do it accurately. It's the only one I know of that's true to the show, greebles and all. It's my favourite ship, that's why you see it in a lot of my mod preview screenshots up on bcfiles.
@Billz: I had a couple folks who were my dedicated beta testers. They were a great bunch of people, who really wanted to get the best out of a mod. It's a good occupation to be in!
And it's also nice to see that there are secretive projects still on the horizon
@Nebula: I also definitely recognize you! How are you doing??
@1DeadlySAMURAI: And I remember you. Still using hot gals in your avatar I see!
As for me, I got out of BC modding because of schooling and such. I'll be graduating from Computer Science (big shocker, right?) in February, as I just have one course left to finish up. I was pretty big into Matrix Online - I was a community moderator for the Warner Bros. and Sony MxO forums for about 4 years. I hadn't played the game for about a year before it shut down, though I did log-in on for the end.
Professionally, I've continued programming. I worked for a research centre for quite a few years, programming windows mobile devices with applications used to measure hearing loss in kids. And I recently took on a summer job at the University which followed my passion a bit - Mars research! We took images from the rovers, and compared them to images taken in the Canadian arctic, in order to look more closely at the signs of water. It was very cool for me, since I love most things Space
I'm looking forward to The Old Republic, but not STO, oddly enough. Frankly, I'm quite disappointed with Star Trek Online after Perpetual dropped it. The footage I saw from Cryptic, though in Alpha stage, looked extremely uninteresting, most notably ground combat. But, hopefully they'll improve it.
