Shane,
No need to fear reprisals. You speak the truth. Independence War is a thing of the past, kept alive only by the love of its fans. That fan community is also dwindling in its activism and participation (we all have to move on) but the fondness remains even after we wander off to focus on other things. My own days at these forums are probably numbered, but it won't stop me from loving the games...Oh heck, I'll probably always check in on this community, its too much fun.
'The Meeting' fiction bit is my last Independence War hurrah. After that, I'll keep my hand in some modding projects and a few garage kits of the key I-war ships, then on to other stuff...family, home renovations, other writing projects, life.
I remain hopeful though. Just as Hollywood is in love with idea recycling ideas, turning comics and computer games into movies (we'll just pretend the Wing Commander movie didn't happen, OK?) and remaking old movies, the games industry isn't immune to that kind of thinking either. Its based on the same kind of thing: making money. Maybe someday we'll see someone somewhere do something else in the Independence War universe, or some machinima artist take it on...just imagine, a 'Final Fantasy: Spirits Within' quality CG movie of Independence War! That's a day worth waiting for.
