Where will I find the patches and just what is the deal about the multiplayer? How do you join, where do you go and fight? Do you take part in an ongoing campaign?
Meh, sorry for the thousand questions, I just wanted to get this game online; what I intended it for!
Oh, and let me intoduce myself - I'm frazzle, from Scotland, aged 17 and a bit of an amatuer Star Trek fan. I'd probably whup your asses at SFC2 anyday though

Might want to curb that enthusiasm. Don't get me wrong alot of us talk smack and tease each other all the time, But that's a quick way to loose respect here, very quickly. This is a very tight nit community, and we try our best to get along.
unless, your related to Dizzy
, you may want to kinda step back on statements like that. Not that Dizzy get's a pass either, but he does have some skills.Stephen

And Sirgod? Isn't that a bit of a confident name?
Ah, don't worry about my skills at this stuff, I was playing games before I could talk
Post by: Sirgod on April 23, 2004, 03:00:04 pm
The name comes from along long time ago in the 70's where i was the DM for AD&D . everyso often The other's would play DM, and Since they liked to tease me alot about getting out of there situation's they started calling me Sirgod.
Trust me It's not because of any D2 or D3 stratigies, or abilities. I save that for F9thRetribution_XC.

My name has a less glamarous history: it was inspired by the first three letters of my name, a packet of crisps, my predisposition to get electrocuted (and fetish, come to think of it) and my constant playing of games...thus frazzle was born, and the internet has became a more dangerous place.

here is a patch listing for EAW 2036 for the different countries.. and this page also has the server kit to where you can run your own server.. and it has the Mission API, so that if you have Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 SP5, you can make your own custom missions (if you know C++)
the link is located here http://www.sfcx.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1

Learn from the ninja master. I will teach you how to kill players like Mog, Dogmatix, madelf and iantheace (not that he deserves to be amongst these other fine captains) in less than 2 weeks. You will be up to speed on the best tactics, countertactics and dirty tricks needed to 'put your enemy in their place'. The most important lesson will be "Smack Talk 101." , an essential part of the whole equation...
And one more thing... Dont ever listen to Sirgod...
