Umm... why didn't A2 Files allow Fleet Ops (boy am I ever out of the loop)?

The new patch doesn't modify any stock dll or exe files. That's why we put the new patch up (no collision with A2 EULA and FF rules).

Here is a statement:
Star Trek: Armada 2, Star Trek: Armada 2 Downloads - Patch Project 1.25 on Armada Files

A2 files left the status of Fleet Operations itself as somewhat ambiguous.  Does that mean that you are leaving open the possibility of allowing it back on the site?

If future releases have the same file structure as the patch they will be hosted on Armada2files.

The old releases wont be hosted again, unless they get "fixed".

Well, the  Fleet Operations Team has just accomplished perhaps the greatest feat in Armada 2 modding history, and without doing anything "wrong"- I have faith that they can pull anything off at this point.

Oh, and I noticed I haven't seen any news up on A2 files regarding the Fleet Ops mod proper.  Did you guys put a block on reporting, too?

Well, I guess it is a start.

Umm... hello? Is anyone going to answer my question? Why isn't Fleet Ops allowed on A2 files???

I must have missed something... how exactly does Fleet Ops break the terms of use (or whatever it's called)?

Supposedly it did not obey this: "New Game Materials shall not contain modifications to any COM, EXE or DLL files or to any other executable Product files". Arrrgh 'tupid rules. I just hope the code becomes free for all...

I would go back and read the forum posts, but essentially from my understanding there has been a lot of jealousy that FO did no share the nice models they made, so people in the community look for ways to strike back.  Some kids who moderate A2files thought that they could claim FO violates the EULA (even though, I think, people at mad doc have sanctioned the work FO does), and so thats what the big feud is about.  Who really cares though... FO is a great mod and the work they do continues the vitality of this game.

Jealousy... I should've known....
