By this post I mean I have been playing Starshatter from the very first time that it ever came out. I remember it when it had DX6 I think renderer. Time does have a bad habit of passing by fast. Anyway I just wanted to say what a great game after all this time. The 4.5 patch is great. I have two questions: 1) Should we expect another update with even better graphics like shaders, normal mapping and the rest? 2) The Nightfall campaign says at the end that humans should prepare for a zolon attack does this mean a new campaign. Thats it and again I want to say how great it is for this game to have come that long and most important keep moving forward.

I am not sure if milo has anything planned toward this, BUT I have created a few missions toward that end. I got the idea from Diabolico when he created a couple missions surrounding the return of the zolons and I kinda ran with it from there.

These used to be availible from the old SSC site, but the new site doesnt have any of the old links for missions. The admin team has been pretty busy with other projects so I don't know if they are planning to post up all the old stuff from the old site.

Should you, (or anybody else for that matter), be interested in playing these I can email them. The latest mission has never been posted anywhere and as far as I know I am the only one that has ever run through it.

In fact I have all three rolled into a dat with some sounds added in for extra effect, should that sound like something worth trying...

Since putting these together I have been learning how to create a full blown campaign and have been working on doing just that...my intent is to create the start of a mass invasion by the Zolons that begins with them driving everybody out of what once was Hegemony space...then it will just escalate from there...who knows what the Zolons have up their sleeves.

...or would that be under their shell?


anyway, if you're interested let me know and I will gladly pass it along.
