Default Wouldn\'t It Be Nice If:

Wouldn't it be nice if someone could offer all of the mods, and races on one disk that could be ordered at cost + shipping and handling. No profit made on the disk, just at cost? This way those of us on dial up could get a complete disk, current as of the time of mailing, with all of the races, all of them, and all of the mods.

I know there are some legal issues with copy righted materials, but I think as long as they are currently in circulation on the net, and the person sending out the cd did not make a profit on it, then it would be ok. I am no lawyer though, so feel free to enlighten me.

Wouldn't it be nice to find out if someone who actually works for a major studio, or production company, that make SciFi tv playes SEIV?

I for one would love to read about someone like Lucas or Spielburg (sp) playing SE IV.

Wouldn't it be nice if large companies that produce PC and other platform games would take MM's lead and go back to the basics of game play and quality first, shock and awe second? Over the Last two or three years it has become increasingly difficult to find original, well thought out, and fun games to play. There out there, but not in any great numbers like they used to be.

Do any of you remember Interplay and all the good games that company produced? Decent, Freespace, Starfleet Command, and Bolder Gate? Man I tell you I still get the ugre to dog fight in Freespace every time I see a space combat scene. (I think the new BSG mini series uses a lot of the Freespace space combat forumla in there space combat scenes.)

What about the Wing Commander series, or game like Doom and Heretic? Sure Id Software is still alive, but lately their offerings have been deluted by partnerships with other games, and they have not offered any good single player games past the SP Wolfenstien. (And an expansion pack for SP of that game is long overdue.)

Wouldn't it be nice if we could go back in time and buy that winning super mega trillions lottory ticket? Oh ya, that would be sweet.

Note to self, if you ever do go back in time, run when you meet that pretty blond at work. Just run and run fast, she is pure evil.......

it would be usefull if it was all packaged nice and all you had to do was run a little installer which found your seIV dir automaticaly and installed it all in one go...
or even just one nice zip file.
with all the directorys in the right place so all you had to do was unzip it.

Can you say SE4 Gold? It had all the mods and non-copyrighted shipsets on it when it came out.

You missed the point entirely.

No I didn't... just saying that it has been done before.
