Default Re: Where are they!!?!??!

Just checked the UPS tracking number and my copy is en route for delivery today. Can't wait. The 16th really sounds like a bogus release date. Is SF doing this to ensure that EB/Gamestop gets all the hardcore business up front in return for carrying the game? If so it may backfire. In my area all of the EB and Gamestop stores no longer have the game on their lists and the EB site shows none in transit to stores.

Is anyone working on a TDM like mod for SEV? Also looking for new Shipsets and Racial AIs to work with. So far I am not overly impressed with the shipsets available.

I'm working on a TDM mod, or, well, one race at the moment...

What do you think should be name of the mod? I have AIM in mind (AI mod) because it is not tied to names like TDM was. TDM was created by many people and I find it unfair to have my name in it but not those of the other modders.

The acronym AIM is already taken by AOL Instant Messenger. I don't think you want your mod associated with that, do you? hehe

If you want to stay away from AIM you could go with CAI, competent AI?

AIX Mod - AI eXtendended Mod (or whatever with cool looking "X").
On the second thought, IBM already owns this (tm), and you can be sued

Or better: BOFH - not Bastard Operator From Hell as you might think first, but "Better Opponent For Human" mod

I'm thinking seriously about porting devnullmod to SE5. Most of the logic is the same, it seems, so the port should mostly be straightforward. We'll see.

Mephisto, I think you should retain the TDM name. The name has become a brand at this point and has moved beyond it's original meaning as a simple abbreviation. People know what they are getting with TDM mod, even if they don't know what T, D, and M stand for.

My .02 anyway.
