HI

This forum is the best forum for addon edditing existing, but i am a little bit sad about the fact that its not for all kind of addon edditing, I have got a lot of help in this forum, a lot of my problems with addon edditing have been solved here, but since i am into making models that are not in the timeframe of WW and modern time my topics are locked up.

I have seen more than one sci fi topic on this forum, and i think it would be very nice if u could make one forum section for SCi fi in general, because i know a lot of people out there would be looking forward to a sci fi section on this forum.

 :) ofpec have a long & proud tradition for keeping things clean and sharp,
meaning: realism is priority # one (or close to it), and I'm not sure it will change soon  ???

On the other hand, these forums have been undergoing alotta changes since
the days of 2001 & 1st half of 2002, so who knows what's to come  :P

Personally, I'm not into sci-fi stuff in ofp, but I wouldn't leave in anger or alike ( ::) ) if it
did pop up some day. If I'm not all wrong, the admin. posted a sticky thread on the
"General anouncements" board, telling about the basic rules of what's hot & what's not at this site.
Sci-fi have been discussed numerous times, and so far it haven't had much luck at coming up.

Dunno if this discussion # 12.000 about the issue will change things  :-X ;D

I guess it depends on how much ofpec in general will try to fawn, so to speak;
We've seen a few 'off-topic' attemps in the poll-war board and perhaps we
will end up seeing a sci-fi section too some day?! But I wouldn't count on it, m8
and I wouldn't vote for it neither (but thats just my opin.)  :)

check out the "Gen. announcements" board & locate the sticky thread I was referring too,
that might clear up thing for ya, lazzy!  :-* (if it's still there?!)

[mod]: Found it  :D ... CLICK HERE to read it.

Well my point of view is that everysite that focuses some special area is better than the ones that give everyone something.

OFPEC gives all OFP editing freeks THE BEST material there is to give, mainly because it's staying focused on realism.

Adding sci-fi to OFPEC would increase the amount of work big time and thus lowering the input on other things.


Flashpoint has good potential in building some sci-fi stuff and it's welcome to me, though I think I'll play Red Faction 2 or something else if I'm feeling hungry for ray-guns :P

I have no idea about the administrations long term (or long long long term) plans so I cannot give you anything official info about this, but for now atleast things are as they are.  ;)
Not all is lost.

I think the big problem, is that there aren't enough Sci-Fi mods to support such a venture anyway.

That aside however, OFPEC simply is about realism, or as close to it as we can get, and that will not change.

There are Sci-fi dedicated sites around, and if you want to host Addons etcetc, those would be the places to look.

As for requesting help on a subject, we will always offer help -regardless-

The only things we will not do with regards to Sci-Fi are:

Host a Sci-Fi Addon
Allow a Sci-Fi Thread to exist which is there for other than the purpose of finding out some coding information, scripting ideas, etcetc. (This is a broad definition, but generally, no Sci-Fi threads will be allowed)

This is because we specialise.

Which lets us be top of our class.

Sorry, but as Skaven said, things change, and might change.

Who knows?  :P
The greatest days, with the greatest people.. OFPEC.. The friends are never forgot.
