Thought we were pretty close to that already.....

Fixing the distribution system is what they said was delaying the release not fixing bugs. They've had since Nov to do that...... A bit ironic if it is Starforce thats delayed this ....again.... after all the discussions on this topic

"Server registration of copies" Does this mean Starforce is stopping release...... If so it's a novel way of stopping piracy....;-0

a brewery "party" in could'nt arrange a springs to mind Apologies but the lack of communication is astounding.

First post after reading these forums since Flanker 1.00 day's....so here goes.... :) The three main issues on CP which started this off were 1. Starforce security has been questioned which is a clear concern to all who intend to have this on their system. 2. Starforce sends back details of the system FC is installed in back to a central server, what info is sent and how it is used has not been detailed. 3. Starforce need to show how they intend to continue supporting the game in the long term to allow customers to play a game they have already purchased. Software companies go bust and get aquired (ask ED) so this is a genuine concern. Problem is with the Starforce software and Starforces continued support of FC. If ED is getting this much heat from their customer base why are'nt Starforce helping out ED with a defence of their product. Surely since ED and eventually FC customers are paying for this they should provide some customer support to ED to help clarify these issues. At the end of the day the customer IS always right in that it is their decision to part with their hard earned cash and buy what is an exceptional game. ED need to communicate to their customers to convice them that the justified protection of ED's IP is not putting customers at risk either from a security or a long term support perspective. Good business ??? So far have'nt seen any clear statement from ED that addresses each of above clearly enough to convince me to buy. Increasing registration count from 3 to 5 just does'nt do it.
