anti aging is nice lol What can I say... You guys just keep improving and improving FO. You have incredible ideas and I really am happy that you wait long enough to see them trough to perfection so it really does improve gameplay A LOT. That of course means that it takes a long time between mod releases which sucks for us fans  . It also has to be said that the old A2 engine is starting to show some serious signs of ageing, especially if you compare it to the new RTS's. Oh well, Im always going to be a fan of this mod thats for sure since it brought me countless hours (days even) of pleasure by playing online (the only game I was really into online till now). I only hope, for the sake of all of us that some gaming studio sees some more potencial in Star Trek and starts developing Armada 3, or any other ST RTS so maybe, just maybe the FO team starts working on it  Anyways, real good job as always  Maybe the Borg will become my favorite race again  an A3 would be nice but it would only work if you could use A2 mods and it would be huge very very fast. the only problem is it would be hard to make it as nice as games nowadays and still use our old mods  |

I think the engine will get some anti-aging capsules someday Smiley Meaning like you creating some graphic improvements? Or more like MadDoc updating their game engine? I think its the former, which is great. BUT again that time thing ... As much as you work on improving the graphics the better other RTS's will be again lol. But oh well.... I hope its good |

Wow! Does this mean that the Game will be coming out (relatively) soon? Cuz that would be a big highlight of the 2008 year! |

Indeed it would what a joke, were 9 days in to 2008 so they could technically release it in december 2008 and sitll be within the "oh its going to be released in 2008" excitement your gearing yourself up for... and even then it might not even be released so im sticking to myself portrayed moto for FO, its doen when its done, no sooner no later, no expectations, well actually i predict 2010 that way i cant be disapointed... |

Well, you'd be disappointed if it was released in 2011...
Or if the new microsoft operating system no longer worked with the A2 engine...

Question. Will the queen herself be a playable avatar?
Who will the other be?

I think the Avatars for the Borg will be akin to V2 (?) where they were Assimilation or Adaptation... more a "Collective" fighting style rather than a specific admiral's fighting style (making the difference between the Borg and other races even more apparent)

Regardless, if teh game makes a 2008 release date at all, perhaps it'll take the edge off the Star Trek XI disappointment (assuming there is one) for a few of us...
