Well finally started reading through posts and thought i might start here.

Hi Iwulff!! Theres alot to go through and i hopefully will be able to spot something and hopefully add something relevant.

Marky chill mate you'll get a chance to play the game, this aint an exclusive golf club...just that testers need to fall into a range of categories that are decided by the makers nothing personal.

Hello Evrybody!!!

Hey all! (Nod at Son of Mogh,iwulff,hedgehog)
Got a bit of free time again so thought I'd check back.
I see the number of posts has shot WAY up.
Nice ideas and it's nicer to see that some agreements have finally been reached.

Also, I see that it's been decided to make the test version for only some people. Nice idea since it would be far more constructive and easier to have a productive discussion later....um, I'll be included as one of the testers right?:)

First of all Welcome BACK!!! I was already wondering, if you totally gave up on this project . Anyway if you want to be a tester then just go to groups section then to the non-memebership section, and click on game tester and then on view information. You then will go to other screen where you can click on join group, then a moderator likely jigaly or Gavin will decide if they want you in as a gametester.

Cheers.

thanks mate, hopefully jigaly will also remember me and sponsor my membership

any other areas that need people, online every day from 7pm gmt, not that into programming just basics and no way near gavins level at all, only thing that seems to interest me is game testing and hardware componants/making computers, ps i've games tested for blizzard north notable games are warcraft 3/diablo 2

ummm, what's it mean when I look at the groups and find out I'm not pending for joining?I've been ignored? Hell's bells, I've put quite a lot towards the new project since the beggining 'cept for actual programing.

Are sure that you have signed to become a game tester, because i can't see you on the list, so if yes this must mean that it has been rejected. Still try it again, and i will ask to gavin or jigalypuff if they have rejected you to be a tester for the moment.

added you now, sorry for the delay. i forgot to check

hey, got an idea, a serious idea, but no, I DO NOT WANT A BETA ACCOUNT FOR HELPING.


so, here it is: me and a friend of mine could translate the ingame-textes into german, he's a star trek freak and me too, we're both students so we've got enough time to help. and yes, my english is worse when i write stupid textes but my translation-skill is pretty good, i was one of the best in that at school, so let me know if you need help for that, because germans mostly prefer playing the game in their own language and no, i dont want to have a beta account for that, i just want a finished game client in german language.

ah...right, definitely got me confused here
jigaly you added me?but Gavin you rejected me?so which happened before which and why and...ah, um...right. anyhoo, I'll click the join thingy again

yah man, i know, it's lot of work, but hey, i've allready translated lots of english textes into german for the onlinemmorpg shadowbane (http://www.shadowbane.de), so i allready got experience in doing stuff like that. and man, i'm a volunteer and botf-nerd, so i'm a real fanatic translator. so let me know, playing botf only in the english version could really suck.

look in the race descriptions thread, make a start there with the german translation.

i have deleted the posts which are refering to money, two reasons.
the first is it is illegal to charge for anything relateing to trek without a very expensive lisence being purchased. even mention of it could cause legal action.
the second is i hate the euro
please refrain from offering to purchase the game as this will rapidly bring in a few hundred lawyers onto afc`s head, something which we cannot have happen i`m afraid.

I will have a quick look into them when you post them , i still need info about if we need multiple race infos or not? I mean we could do this:

1. From the view of a money greedy species
2. From the view of a warloving blood thirsrty species
3. From the view of a peaceful species
4. From the view of a race that relyes on intelligence and stuff.

Say if we are the Federation then we would get number 3
but if we are the klingons we will get 2
or the vulcans we get 3.

I think it would be cool to have the desriptions from different perspectives. If it is decided thi will be included, let me know, and ill try to lend a hand with writing the different descriptions.

{Such as...? i havnt seen a thing, no offence. Just im a little confused by recent remarks from people who think helping a project from years ago goes towards this one.}

Non taken but I'm not talking about a project years ago but the botf2 project. From the start, a couple of months ago when the whole forum had, what, forty members or so. Together with Son of Mogh, iwulff and hedgehog the very first discussions made the basis for some great ideas (with a look through those posts I believe the idea for a science station, 2 build queus, shipyards defending themselves and some other came from me...) Not that I'm pushing or anything (these were just some ideas which were modified and changed through discussion) but I'd really like to make it for tester 'cause of that (just beacuse I wasn't around on the forums lately 'cause of work...)
-and I could probablly give a good description of the beta version being a game journalist for a computer magazine


btw. great idea for multiple descriptions iwulff

Could those descriptions be changed later for every race? So each race could have unique descriptions about other races. It's a lot of work to make unique race desriptions for every race, but actualy all we need are desriptions of others for the playable races, for all the races that will become playable later the descriptions for them could be added by modders.

i haven't got a reply from Gavin yet, so i don't know what we are planning for the moment. i barely had any time the past few days.

i talked to gavin, and he didn't like the thought/idea or work to do this. I don't know why he didn't wanted this, because this would be a bit realisticer when you are a klingon you aren't going to talk to the Dominion with peace in mind. Anyway perhaps this can be altered later on, but at the moment it is a no.

We've just got to go over them and make them as generic as possible. Totally matter of fact with no inclination to any race. That could work better than some totally over the top klingon messages... "Ahh, the glorious selay are mighty warriors! Ahhh!"

Sorry i've been away for a while... I started working tons of hours because of christmas...

I think this would be a good idea, the klingons wouldn't respect other warriors because they would look at them as possible enemies... Hopefully it could be added so it was a little more realistic of the race your playing.

It already exists in botf right? When you meet a race and the small description (which is also heard on audio) is different depending who you're playing as.

Whats the word on game testers atm, with the beta coming up soon id like ot know whos getting picked ? are the 10 relevant posts gavin mentioned being counted ?

not any more no, there are to many prolific posters so it will be a case of whomever has helped with game content, after that it will come down to how much effort has gone into ideas and posts ok.

id love to do some testing

Then act quick, do some race descriptions, or some pics, or contribute some new ideas. Or just spend 3 hours a day on here insulting people like I do....

how very klingon of you

Silence Paht'Ak!!!
