Hello and welcome to MSFC. We are a small and close knitted community who specialises in modding the game Star Trek Armada 2 and the Fleet Operations modification, however we have an open field for discussing a number of topics including movies, real life events and everything in-between.
Being such a close community, we do have some restrictions, including all users required to be registered before being able to post as well as all members requiring to have participated in the community for sometime before being able to download our modding files to name the main ones. This is done for both the protection of our members and to encourage new members to get involved with the community. We also require all new registrations to first be authorised by an Administrator and to also have an active and confirmed email account.
We have a policy of fairness and a non harassment environment, with the staff quick to act on the rare occasion of when this policy is breached. Feel free to register and join our community.
Also, Dom, TSK, can't we all just get along?
Wow Dominus, that's the first time Cabal has said anything in this thread. Lighten up. And take his advice.If you have to ask me that, then you already have already made up your mind.
does the reluctance to mod using FO come from the inclusion of the game, or from the lack of 'backwards compatibility'?
EDIT: removed this as just posted during Majestic's comment
It was an unnecessary comment in a thread that is getting increasingly away from its original purpose. I suppose it is fine to bash someone who is apparently going against the flow here and then look the other way. Either way, now I'm sure I've all garnered quite the fan club, and I wouldn't touch me with a 10 foot pole either

I think you might find that a blank slate would make things more complex, not less, as you will lose all the examples. What may I ask seems so complex for you? You never responded to any of my other queries directed at you for such, but I'm still more than glad to answer.
I'm surprised someone hasn't done that yet honestly.I don't spend a lot of time on the FO forum so I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but if anyone wants to they can always add my Cardie stuff to FO and release it, that'd get you a full race right there.

I'm not certain what the policy on double-posting is (and I don't know if editing a post causes that topic to be brought back up in the news feed), but I figured this was worth its own post:
Majestic mentioned on the FO forums that he'd be interested in modding on that engine if everything FO was removed and replaced with A2 files, ships, etc.
Since the discontinuing of Blade's A2-FO crossover mod a few patches ago due to any interest and the difficulty, there have been no requests or any sort of interest in that sort of thing. Does anybody have any serious interest in him completing his work after 3.1.4 to re-add all A2 features (with the exception of missions and A2 GUIs)? Any comments would be appreciated
