Nicely done Jewels
S

jewels · November 13th, 2003, 06:36 PM

I'm going to test the sci-fi mods with it soon

It has to be there the week the mini runs and the week the previews run. We all know why.

Darrell:
Failed, my arse! where do you think my 1st stopping point was?

*hugs the lone wolf*

Stevew · November 14th, 2003, 06:32 AM

I tried it also and nada. Has anybody heard from Charlie?
S

jewels · November 14th, 2003, 08:44 AM

Phoenix will relaunch about same time or shortly after Pegasus.

Darrell: I have to work the sytax of that sentence out better: you have images from the trailer, correct? That's what that terribly complex sentence was trying to say....and failed to!
My nagging worries on this list:
Battlestar Callisto (relaunching???, site is currently suspended)
Orange Squadron appears to be defunct.
Rag Tag Fleet https://www.geocities.com/Rag_Tag_Fleet/ Should I feature them: they still list DeSanto/Singer as the latest news and it was early 2002, I know I found that confusing. They have a nice 2nd coming article though. :/

Tommy, where's my template, hun? and a css and a filepath, pretty please, with sugar and chocolate on top.

Thanks JJ and OWD included some more into the list.

I'm going to have to start a thread to see if Tony knows what's up w/Callisto.

A ton of links:

jewels · November 14th, 2003, 03:00 PM

Ok, JJ whoa! I think my list is too long right now. It's just meant to show newbies that there's a whole galaxy to explore/give sites with major and or specific & unique info (rep's report on battlestars at Cimtar for instance).

and the tripod links page has as many out of date links as it has up-to-date ones.

That Callisto page only goes to a roster, btw. Main site is suspended.

Darrell: The BattlestarPhoenix.com domain is indeed down for the moment, but I'm working with Charlie to get it back up and running. (Ironically, just finished another conversation with him on that topic about 10 mins. ago.) I'm in the same predicament with BattlestarPegasus.com: Getting a new web host. (What timing, considering the forthcoming holidays and lack of budgetary planning/funds. lol)

Steve: Hope that answers your question about whether anyone has talked with him.

That's really too bad. Battlestar Callisto has been both a devoted fan club and fan web site with vibrant, enthusiastic members over the years. I hope Rick, Al, Tony, Paula and others haven't entirely walked away from it. With the felgercarb over the past productions, particularly the most recent one, it wouldn't surprise me if they said, "Enough is enough for now."

BC was one of the last sites I offered to completely overhaul and beef up last year (when I was doing such things).

I hope they do return. :colwar:

if you have any of these thingys > in your "to" addresses they will bounce... or if the person has inserted a word to take out like "junk" or "spam" so that the email addy bots don't find them for the next late great spam list....

that probably only clears up one addy for you though.

ojai22 · November 22nd, 2003, 11:24 PM

Thanks, Jewels, but the little thingies weren't in the emails I sent out. I'll try some of them again to see what happens.

AtlantiaIsToast · April 15th, 2012, 01:05 PM

Hi, all. I remember a *Long Time Ago* there was a site in the UK where several individuals had created a Star Fleet Battles-style Battlestar Galactica ship-to-ship combat game. They had a listing of 'Early' and 'Modern' warships for both the Colonials & Cylons showing their gaming stats, and had some nice SSDs (Generic Battlestar with Variant Warship Mounts, such as Anti-Base Ship Missiles aboard Pegasus; Colonial Pulsar-class Gunstar; Colonial Protector-class Cruiser; Colonial Destroyer [Tiger-class??]; and Colonial Patrol Boats, etc.). They had Quickstart guidelines, Basic Rules, and other various rules sections. Has anybody ever saved this old game resource to disk (because the UK site address has gone dark for a long time now) ?? The name 'Sean Driscoll' comes to mind as one of the key major authors of this system, but I don't know if he's become a member here or if anyone knows him from here, but I was hoping to try looking up this game. Please send suggestions or options, thanks!
