Wow just going through the forums and I just realized Mike Strobel... dedication, determination, and inspiration... made him the last BOTF 2 project standing. Star Trek Allegiance and New Beginnings are different types of games *inspired from BOTF. But I think Supremacy is the only BOTF 2 project thats really BOTF 2.

WELL DONE M& CONGRATS MIKE ... YOU SURVIVED TIME

YOU THE MAN!

Don't canonize me just yet--with the week I've had, I may well get struck by lightning.

Face it Mike.... Supremacy is not completed but just by how far it has got... You made history already. With all the interviews you did, all the buzz of Supremacy on the net and the recent awards... all show that people want Supremacy and recognize it as Birth of the Federation 2.

You already achieved the impossible. You created BOTF 2.... your the last one standing... your the one that has got so far... and is still here.

And I can tell you ... from me personally... I dreamed all my life for BOTF 2... hoping everyday Activision, Bethesda, Interplay would make a sequel... then I realized thats probably not going to happen... then I turned to the fan community and after seeing project after project fail, fall apart or redesigned... I lost hope. BOTF is something special. Especially for us Trekkies. It gives us a chance to see The Federation in a whole new world. A world we can mold and forge. Its the only game that I ever remember ... being shocked, awed and wowed about.

Now you came along and gave us all hope again. Thats why me and others ... will always be forever grateful. We can finally experience those same feelings again.

Amen to that, You should name a shipclass after yourself, or if you won't, I'll dedicate a whole line of ships named after you in every one of my Supremacy games, too bad I can't create statues of you on each of my planets.

does anyone have discovered the strobel bone building yet? It's a special minor race structure I believe..
