Classic threads...

[Richard]

Guys,

I know you have wanted this for awhile so I am creating a forum for locked FAQS that deal with the game. What I would like is for folks to nominate some threads for me to move there.

[capnq]

What exactly do you mean by "locked"? If the FAQ Boards can't be posted to, we can't put the "Frequently Asked Questions for Newbies" thread there until the thread stabilizes.

[Richard]

That's exactly the point. I am looking got quality older Posts that go over many of the details of the game, but may hard to find unless you search. If someone new wants to ask a question or participate in an active thead, they can do so on the main board.

I just want threads from folks that they think would merit inclusion in the other forum. Then I can move them and such.

[Fyron]

Here are a few threads that might be good for inclusion:

Ok, that's enough for now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Edit: Actually, after re-reading what Richard posted, I think half of these don't qualify. Oh well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Hey what is with the 2 seiv sections...

Sneak that one in with no one looking did you....

[Fyron]

Geoschmo posted a great answer to my question regarding the sight of cloaked vessels owned by empries that you have a partnership with. I think that would be good for this section.

Hey Richard, do you want to have someone to do this for you, so you can concentrate on other stuff?
