After having explored the deeper reaches of the galaxy where communications are blocked by dark matter... Oh let’s cut to the chase.

I have not been active in quite some time with the hobby, but the brick calls out to me. I tried to cleanup/refresh my Starship sites a while ago which made them non-active. If Starship goes through a ‘reboot’, I would not mind house cleaning being done to my sectors and ships -- NOT because I will not be participating, but because I got so lost with work, uh exploring other dimensions, that I cannot remember where I was or what I was doing with Starship. Sorta of a fresh start.

That being said, I have projects once again in the works for building space vessels made out of ABS brick. I would like to see Starship active once again, I will make time for it, seriously, to some capacity.

John Maxwell, I did a search for the Sector 62 you mentioned. What is that, exactly? As for Starship, I hope to get back into the swing of things assuming that an active community can be revived.

Good to see you Hendo and Richard!

-Avery

Still about.  Happy to keep the data up to date.  Old email address still works.
I'd be happy to join in as a player, probably not as a sector mod.

Might need a new ship though.  Something with a couple of dropships and
fighters, and a contingent of marines, maybe in keeping with the Mars Mission
stuff - ha! and a surface rover.

HES Alator has a nice ring to it.  27 ship's crew + 15 flight crew + 24
troopers, veterans of the suppression of the odd green lozenge creatures on
Mars.  3 space capable dropships (2 pilots, 2 crew, max 8 troopers), 3 single
man space capable fighters, and a rover (2 pilots, mission crew space for 8 and
consumables for 2 weeks).

Might need a gunship to support the slicks...

Richard
Still baldly going...

Hi John!

I wish I could say otherwise, but no this group has not been very active over the past two years. Everyone involved (myself included) were slowly pulled away for “real life” during the year or two before that. I myself have been experiencing a “Dim Age” with the hobby, and though I would love to be involved, I cannot yet promise the level of reliability I offered when Starhip was new.

That said, I do know a few Starshippers still lurk out there, and I have been saving email addresses of one or two other players that have expressed interest in joining if anything starts up again.

Also, both my front pages to the game and Richard Parsons’ ship registry are still active websites. I spoke by email to Richard just over a year ago and he said he was more than willing to keep his part of the site up - though I don’t know what level of commitment he can give to updating, changing, or maintaining it.

Currently, his site includes all the ships that were in the game two or three years ago. If the game does go for a “reboot”, I wonder if that database should be wiped and restarted, or if it should stay as-is and just be added to for new players. (I like the latter idea, as it would give the impression that the galaxy is well populated.)

Also, the Sector Registry and map (maintained on my site), most likely would need updating, as only sectors with active members running as SM’s should be open to travel.

(Stick a “j” in front of my email address shown on Lugnet to contact me directly.)

:::walks into the dusty, darkened thread, coughing several times as stale air fills his lungs:::

Hi folks! Question from a very, very interested newbod - is this group still active? I think it’s a fascinating, well-thought-out concept that caters very nicely to a niche market. I recently discovered the ancient Sector 62 site, and would love to participate in something like that. Anyone still lurking here that might be interested in picking the concept back up? I’ve got my own roleplaying site - www.crayven.net - and am definitely willing to host a dedicated site and forums for it.

John
