Subject: [Audyssey] STFC Announcements.
Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2006 08:03:34 -0400
Hello gamers,
I know several of you have emailed our sales department with questions
regarding STFC and a possible release date. Well, we have allot of
announcements to give you, but can't give any release dates at this time
as STFC is undergoing a massive upgrade that has seriously pushed back
the release date again. However, I personally do feel the updates I have
scheduled to put in to STFC beta 2 will be all worth it in the end. So
let's cut to the scheduled upgrades planned for Beta 2.
First, many of you have asked us repeatedly to restore the navigational
deflector dish to the game. We have honored your requests and will be
reintroducing the navigational deflector dish in STFC Beta 2.
Second, we have also introduced some new Federation and enemy weapons.
Now, when approaching the Klingon and Romulan systems you may encounter
cloaked mine fields which will damage or destroy your ships. The
Cardassians also possess mine fields guarding their space, but those are
not cloaked. In addition the Defiant-class ships now will carry mines as
apart of their tactical inventory. You'll be able to drop a mine, cloak,
and escape.
Third, some of you have requested a second Defiant-class ship. As per
request we have began adding a second Defiant-class ship, U.S.S. Sal
Paulo, to your list of vessels to command. Like U.S.S. Defiant Sal Paulo
will carry mines, high powered phasers, quantum torpedoes, standard
photon torpedoes, main deflector dish, and cloaking device. How is that
for fire power?
Forth, I have also made another slight ship change. I have decided to
retire the U.S.S. Seleya and commission the U.S.S. Ark Royal for active
duty. There is no real purpose for the change other than I like the idea
of getting to play some of the other Sovereign-class ships besides the
ones we are use to commanding in STFC.
Sixth, in addition to building up and making changes to the Federation
fleet the Borg, Klingons, Cardassians, and Romulans are also getting
bigger and cooler fleet upgrades. The Klingon fleet has added the I.K.S.
Neigh'var to its ranks of Vor'cha Attack Cruisers. The Romulans have
added the IR.W. Kazinak to it's ranks of warbirds. The cardassian Union
has added the C.U. Aldara to it's ranks of cruisers. Last and not least,
the Borg will also get a range of support ships such as spheres, scout
ships, and of course the queens personal ship the Borg cube. Oh, and do
have fun trying to beat the Borg now. It is a suicide mission, but as
fun as heck trying.
Seventh, all of the enemy bases have undergone name changes. The
Cardassian bases are Bryma Station and Cardassia Station. The Romulan
bases are Romulus Station and Remus Station. The Klingon bases are
Qo'nos Station, (pronounced Kronos,) and Kairnos Station.
Eighth, STFC code is being upgraded to work with the Microsoft .NET
Framework 2.0. The setup and installation will be handled by Inno Setup,
and audio will be handled by DirectX 9 2006.
Finally, I have also been reworking all the classes etc to allow for
saving and restoring games. In Beta 2 you will be able to save and
restore up to 10 games at a time. This will allow for extremely long
games, and you can now back it up, and resume at a point that is
suitable for you.
