Is Fading Suns: Noble Armada dead?

[DeMatt]

As per topic.

Has Matrix Games killed it for good? Did someone else pick it up in hopes of resurrecting it? Or are there still plans laying around somewhere on some dark desk, biding their time?

Dead as dead can be..... and as far as I know no one has picked up the game.

Aw man...

Every so often I come back to it - a nice blend between Homeworld and Escape Velocity - and every time the bugs in the demo drive me off again...

This time I got to digging around in the data files. I didn't know the quest scripts were supposed to be user-editable! But the loader, for some reason, doesn't like some of the quests I write...

So now I have two questions:

1) Was a more stable build than the demo (28 March 2000 is the modification date on the EXE) made/released? If so, could I please get a copy?

2) Is there any documentation on the quest script format? If so, could I get a copy? Pretty please?

Sorry DeMatt, we can't help you with that as we don't own the game or have any code/builds for it at this point.

Regards,

OK. Do you know who does own it?

Great, thank you!

Now to see if they're still alive... I have less hope of that, given that their online forums seem to be AWOL...
