There will also be a new version of A Call to Arms. The space combat game set in the universe of Babylon 5 has too many fans for us to let it fall by the way side. So, expect a new universe, new ships, and a lot of the core mechanics you have been asking for – including a solid points-based system!
I think the point is, there'll be a 3rd edition of ACTA, but it won't be B5:ACTA.mollari_uk said:How does the B5 licence effect the mini's line? I'm a little confused that the licence won't be renewed but there'll be a 3rd edition of B5:ACTA?
I'm sure my parents would have liked to know the future of Betamax, so they could have invested in VHS instead.Scipio said:I know that I expect to start up other games from Mongoose but if the games they produce is to exist for a little time and then expire and die I want to know that now so that I can choose games from another company instead.
No I don't have to stop playing. But if we don't get new players and new updates the game will die in our club and I will, except ocasionally. I have seen it happen before but were hoping for more from Mongoose.Burger said:I'm sure my parents would have liked to know the future of Betamax, so they could have invested in VHS instead.Scipio said:I know that I expect to start up other games from Mongoose but if the games they produce is to exist for a little time and then expire and die I want to know that now so that I can choose games from another company instead.
I'm sure my friend would have liked to know whether the future of HD-DVD, so he could have invested in Blu-Ray instead.
Unfortunately we don't have a crystal ball.
But who says that just because the game is out of production, you have to stop playing? Clearly you have a healthy gaming group, you can continue to play it, I know that my ship viewer isn't going any place and hopefully this forum will remain intact.
How can you tell? Do you have a crystal ball? If so can you tell me next week's lottery numbers please?Scipio said:I myself will also prefer some other game where the company will stick to their products.
So has VHS. What you are asking for is ridiculous. How can any company possibly tell what 6 years in the future will hold? How can they predict which games will be popular enough to justify continuing development, and which will not be worthwhile?Scipio said:And the comparison with betamax is ridiculous. WHFB have lived on for 25 years.
Well I can't know. But going with WHFB or WH40k seems like a good bet.Burger said:How can you tell? Do you have a crystal ball? If so can you tell me next week's lottery numbers please?Scipio said:I myself will also prefer some other game where the company will stick to their products.
Well they can't. But if their intent is to scrap their games after a short while and start up new ones instead of supporting the existing ones that is working I will now know and then I will not get into anything more from them because that is what I will expect from the other games as well.Burger said:So has VHS.

Yeah, I can't really see them selling many models for a game which is not in production. So I expect they are none too happy about the investment they have made, I don't know how the licensing/financials worked, but they have definitely been spending money to re-do the molds, etc. I doubt they'll get much return on that investment.Da Boss said:I would agree however does seem a bit of annoyance for Ironwind?
