Hi Phil, A slight correction you said Windows 98 didn't have DirectX. Actually, it did. I believe it was DirectX 6 or 7. However, Windows 95, the early versions, did not have DirectX. Everyone had to access the sound card via com audio which wasn't all that great. Anyway, live action ST game does seam to be the better choice seeing as we have the power to do so, and seeing how well STFC came out a live action would be much more the game. One thing we would have to think about is do we want it to be like Lonewolf where you have 15 20 independant missions or do we want 15 missions in a row like GTC with the option to jump to a specific mission.
