We had a better engine that would only run in XP and I do not know about the BOTF engine running in Vista / Windows 7.

We could ask the Chinese to hack a copy of the ST Online engine for us.

Hmm.... we could simply phone up Atari and ask if we could go digging in their long-forgotten Floppy Disk Paradise. The plan would be:

1. Phone Atari. Ask to go to into their floppy disk basement
2. Enter Floppy Disk Paradise, where we can immediately contemplate which of the millions of floppys contains the combat engine we're looking for
3. Find the Floppy Disk, after hours of searching, and leave with it
4. Attempt to locate computer with floppy drive (possibly non-existent)
5. If no floppy drive computers are available, find an external floppy drive
6. Insert Floppy Disk, and read error... I mean...... read combat engine files
7. Update combat engine files, and release with supremacy
8. Rest
9. Continue work on Supremacy

And that's the impossibly long plan..... any takers? :borg:

EDIT: Since Kenneth posted before I had a chance to, The original BoTF engine runs fine in Windows 7, I have mine working. Still, any takers for the plan?

FURTHER EDIT: I have re-read Kenneth's post and realized that he was talking about the XP combat engine..... which I don't have.

all past attempts only revealed that the engine was a modified Falcon 4.0 one. I doubt there'll be any more news at a new one.

BOTF was based on Falcon 4.0? Well I didn't know that. Purely randomly I read about Falcon 4.0 a couple of months ago on Wikipedia, and there seems to have been a big fan community around that as well. They even attempted to build on and improve the engine, just like the community has attempted to improve BOTF over the years.
