I will continue working on FL.

Due to the amount of support we have been getting I'm alot calmer now and have been able to think straight.

I still need some time to think about how I am going to do this. I don't want any more problems to arise.

Put simply I ask this from all the community.

If you see a feature in TNG that you like and wish to use it, PLEASE email me and let me know. I don't have a problem sharing however I do ask that if you borrow stuff from TNG i humby just ask for some credit to be put in the readme.

Most of the stuff I don't mind sharing however, there are a few features I would like to preserve for only TNG to make it unique. If I were to give everything away some people would possibly just make a clone of TNG.

So with that, THIS is the stuff we would like NOT to be copied from TNG.

1: TNG specific systems, Nexus, Sol, Vorlon, Mimbari, Centuari, Shadow, The Void (Ancients) etc...

2: TNG specific ships designed by Spawn, Hadryon, and CaptainOblivious, these include ships from Freespace 2, Homeworld class ships, Wing Commander, & Bab5, and all unique class ships. We will be happy to supply a detailed list once we are finished.

3: Duriel's super system

4: Spawn's artwork & Duriels movie clips

5: Bobthedog's intro scripts

6: Certain equipment (house guns, anti-matter torp, & race specific weapons going in 2.0)

Other then that we don't really have a problem, we just feel that we need to keep certain things unique to TNG. Again all we ask is that if you do use something from TNG, then please just give us credit.

I support you with whatever decision you make. Besides, it is your life, and cannot just let players of the mod(s) nag at you. You might have done the mod for fun, but the magic is fading.

Solute you Reynen, you have made FL fun in many ways Microsoft did not make possible. You are one of the few modders that made FL from fun ... to DAMN FUN!

Glad you happy, pity you leave.
Have fun. Wherever.

To all you who insulted us this past week, are you happy now? we are leaving FL alone, we no longer threaten your oh so great mods.

Kudos to those who supported us, and see you in another game

TNG 2.0 will not appear at all

I didn’t get involved in the whole MS vs Reynen thing, but I am sorry to hear that it has come to this, TNG was a good piece of work, and I am disappointed that TNG ver 2 will not be appearing soon.

Thanks for what you and Starfyre did; the freelancer community has had many happy hours with your work.

Best of luck with your future projects.

EDIT (this is already in the editing forum post, only just came across this one)

It's all very sad... i had high hopes for this game with TNG but with you leaving the scene the fun is gone as well.
Thanks for your efforts guys. It has been great playing TNG!
Still, I'd like to see some official word on the e-mail from Microsoft being a real one or not.

I thank you for a hell of a good work from you guys in the TNG team have done for the FL community. But with all this massive good work, and Spawns fantastic artwork, and scripting knowledge, why doesent you guys by a legally right to use a game engine, and make your own self-standing game? I myself did that some years ago in my proffession, making instructional animations for fire-rescuing from cruise ships. I bought Poser for modelling people, and a game-engin with script-language animating a interactive fire-escape demo.
In any case several game-companies once started like that..why not you guys?

Thanks for a fantastic mod..ceep on guys

I liked the TNG mods, but I didn't know what the right answer to the MS debate was and therefore kept out of it. I would love to see more TNG mods and I am sure many others would too. I am sure there are many people online who are not registered and ignorant of these recent troubles that would have supported you.

I think more would have offered support if this did not threaten to bring them down with you. In other words, they were afraid of consequences yet to come. I won't debate these words with anyone because I am only convinced when fact, not opinion, is presented. I wish Reynen and the SS team the best of luck should they retract the idea of giving up on TNG. Unless you get at more proof of MS's involvement, I would say it is too soon to give up all hope.

NNNOOOOOOO!!! that sux ballz...
i really was looking forward to 2.0

Hi Reynen - I've always supported the work you guys did with TNG. Sad to see you go, especially since most people do indeed support your work a lot. Just got a copy of one of Germanys biggest game magz, and TNG is featured in the mag.

So you where slowly approching to goal of beeing for Freelancer what CS was for HL. Quitting now is like making the person behind the hoax win.

Sad to see that happen, and I hope you reconsider!

Thanks for the Mod. When regular FL got boring, I found TNG. I was anticipating the 2.0 release, even arranging a "First Play" LAN event, but now, oh well. Thanks for the effort up to 1.62.

Take them all down - lmao. Spoken like a true pirate! Hope to see more of your work sometime soon.

it's very sad that you feel compelled to take this course of action, you're work and its derivatives have given me many many hours of fun and pleasure. Without you many of the mods would never have been made.

from similar experiences of my own in other fields I imagine the current series of evens has been the "last straw" as you allude to other areas of disappointment and frustration. mind you it must have been a pretty big blow when it all kicked off!if that's the case you are right to give it up (for now at least) and u might find you come back to it eventually. have a rest, u deserve it. and thanks for the mods (i'm playing urs at the moment!)

really pleased it turned out to be a hoax and really pleased u ain't jacking it in yet, the evil little sh*t or sh*ts who did this to you after all the hard work u've done (at no recompense) need their fingers breaking (that's not too strong i don't think, what they did was evil)

all the best to you, chum!
