Does anyone know when the next update will be ready for download? Also when will the AI and starship fights be ready. Just wanted to know of there was any kind of time frame. I know you guys work so hard, I was just wondering what you had in mind. |

Our problem is we have real jobs and do this for "fun." Mike is working hard on the next update. I would hope we might see it in a few weeks. The AI is going to take a lot longer and no one can say when. There has been talk about putting in a very simple combat system without graphics to make the Pre-alpha more playable. Until then the 3D combat engine is only in a demo form that runs in XP. With the main game intended for Vista it is pure speculation when we will see 3D combat in game. MOE will be along soon to correct all the miss information I just passed on. |

Just wondering what do you guys do for real jobs? Also how hard is it to lean all of this game programing stuff? People get degrees in that right? |

Yes, Mike writes code for a living. The good news is he may now have some more professional help with it. I work in a medical laboratory. I knew squat about computer models when I started. It took me about a year to be able to do acceptable work. Now, god help us, I head up the model project for this game. If you do not feel up to learning 3D models there are other things you can do. Check this out. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1752 If you like 2D art but do not want to pay for Photoshop look at this. http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ We need more artistic content. |

I interviewed for but missed out on a background part in Star Trek. As it turned out that part will only be on the DVD anyway. That was Nero on the Klingon prison planet. My work on Eagle Eye would take freeze fram to see. It is that small a part. I will be appearing later this year as Robert Blake in a TV reenactment of the murder of his wife. My wife and I did get to attend the LA premiere of Star Trek. We got to say "hey" to a number of the actors and the writers. That is enough about me for now. Let's talk about MOE. He drinks too much. Seriously, MOE is our general manager answering questions and working on the game in more ways than I can count. He is too busy doing that to hold down a real job. |

I was in Law Enforcement untill I got injured on Patrol. Now I try to take it day by day in pain and try to enjoy the things that i can do. Since my foot has alot of metal and major damage its hard to walk and stuff like that. Could someone show or teach me how to do some of this computer stuff that way i could help. Sorry my degree was in Law Enforcement although computers are awesome (so I can play star trek games lol) Let me know what you think. If it is possible for me to learn im 26 so im not that old to teach me a new trick. lol Hit me up! |

You can learn this. I am sorry to hear about your foot. I have not had to face such a physical injury. Still I think of the words of a great star ship captain, "Never give up, never surrender." |

jszrom you could also look at this: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ GIMP is a free program to make 2D graphics. That is a a lot cheaper than Photo$hope. I use it for my model textures and it can be used to create content for Supremacy. We need a lot of 2D images and you could get up to speed on this program a lot faster than doing 3D models. |

I think most of us are pretty much self-taught in these programs. I started playing around in Photoshop because I created a Star Trek Role Playing Forum in 1999 to 2003 and since the ship was a NX prototype, there were no images, so I had to design it all from scratch. My degrees are in CIT, and Business Admin, and I work in international relations department for an electronics/entertainment company. |

That is impressive. I think Mike will have a real job for you here when he goes commercial.

If he were to go commercial I would be more then happy to put a resume in. Just as long as I could work from home  even though I live only 7 minutes drive from my office I hate having to show up everyday for something that can be done any where.

Oh boy, you're asking for something there mate. I hope the length of doesn't frighten you off...  Just pick a structure you like the sound of, and have a go. Post the image in that thread and people will be able to post feedback. And i'm sure Kenneth and Val will be able to give you tips on how to improve.

The game will run on an XP machine but just not as nice. I would guess that a transition to windows 7 will be in the works for this game as well. Mike will have to do that with the commercial code he works on for a living. He will know what to do. Micro$oft will want it to happen as easily as it can.

Welcome to the forums rontu. If I recall correctly Mike had said that he was not planning to make it available for Mac or Linux. That is not to say someone could not take on that project.

This would be the last thing to do. I personally prefer to play games under windows. I just wanted to say, that it might be possible. Linux is nice as a server and nothing more. |
