... its been a long journey with armada 3 over the years one i look back on with utmost joy but all good things come to an end and no were not talking about Armada 3! There is a brilliant team of developers at work pushing the mod onwards, no this time i talk about myself as a developer and my fellow golden oldie Mr Dukut!
A shot of the enterprise on her final goodbye to the crew of the Excelsior and Captain Sulu.
Myself and Gul Dukut have been working on Armada since pre 0.95 and many years of toil and strife we believe and feel have brought about a tremendous mod, well game really! and the final frontier looks to be yet another ground breaking moment for 2016. You've graced us with a mod of the year award as well so we thank you for that recognition and support, we also thank you for saying hello to us at Star Trek London too!
Myself and Gul have been collaborating for some time on many videos for his gulgaming channel and moving forward we hope to continue that work, we love to cover sins modding in general and I know Gul has many plans to continue his coverage of this mod as it continues onwards.
Ambarenya will be taking over my spot as Deputy Dev Team Leader so look to him for continuing news posts and updates in regards to the mod which could not be in better hands.
For those wondering the team now looks as follows:
Maxloef - Lead Developer
Ambarenya - Deputy Lead Developer
Draconis - Balance Team Lead
KillaBC - Artwork Renderer
OrionSlaver - Balance and Coding
Zurme - Balance and Coding
Cailean - Map Design and GalaxyForge
SFC3 - Wiki Developer
So all that's left to say from myself and Gul is:
Live Long and Prosper
I can understand, hardly anything more can by done with mod and engine is ancient and limiting
Will you work or plan to mod something else?
Myself and Gul plan to work together on the GulGaming Channel maybe in the future i could be tempted to return to modding :)
Bane I'm sad to see you go! Thanks so much for all the help last year when my computer wasn't running the mod. I wouldn't have been able to play it without you thanks again for the hard work!
Best of luck to you both! Especially so to Gul Dukat! You've been a great friend throughout the years and I know you're only moving on to something bigger and better!
And here you got my hopes up to see a Constitution Refit finally show itself in the Lost Years when I logged on and saw that title in my updates...I am saddened.
Good luck to your future endeavors whatever they may be.
That may still be a reality i know the team are working on that discussion :)
You don't know how happy that makes me, the Connie refit is quite literally my favorite ship in all of Trek.
Just as long as it's not relegated to a scout role like in the SoA mod...that's just demeaning.
How fitting.
Bane and Gul, thank you guys for all the incredible work. Good luck as you move on!
Take care Bane & Gul. Your work involved in this mod was outstanding.. Your loss will be significant for the team. But what ever and why ever you decided it's time to move on: My best wishes still go to both of you and good luck. See you around the universe.
Thank you so much for what you have done for us!
So long bane. I promise you that we will never forget DAT AFT.
Aww thanks! lol!
Such a shame to see two talented developers such as Bane and Gul, leave such an amazing team.
Good luck to both of you moving forward, and thank you for working on such an incredible game, for all these years!
The SOASE modding community has lost two of it's finest but you are moving onto greener pastures, I'm sure. Thank you for the time, effort, and dedication that you have so freely given to us. Good luck in your future endeavors, both of you. I'm not actually a huge Star Trek fan except for this mod, but I feel this is appropriate for the occasion.
Live Long, And Prosper.
I'm still around too for in-game art! Bane... *sniffle* Always forgetting about poor me...
Sorry bro! not intentional :(
well at less you enjoy your work and long you did this because it was something you wanted do and made you happy is what all matters because this mod is are third game for us who loved the game and we are true in debt to you all
Well all I can say is: Live long and prosper! You guys have contributed a lot to this great mod, and I look forward to seeing what you do next!
Well I won't deny that this makes me sad. You're both great guys and you and the rest of the team have been amazing, one of the best mod teams that I know of that's for sure.
But having seen the stuff you've done I have full confidence in both your abilities to continue being awesome and creative!
It's also good to know that the team is being left in safe and capable hands. (except Max he clearly can't be trusted :P)
I wish you both luck! And as you said, remember to Live Long and Prosper.
It will always need more Gul Dukat!
Gone but not forgotten.
backs out of the room slowly....
Kind words!
"And straight on 'til morning."
Good luck. Live long and prosper.
Did you guys pull out in fear of possible Anaxar litigation?
(or associated with)
the timing seems suspicious.......
Nah, this has nothing to do with Axanar. It does, however, have everything to do with the time Max chained them to a desk in a dark room and refused to feed them until until certain amounts of progress were made, beating them whenever the mod build minidumped. He is a harsh taskmaster...
Seriously though, Bane and Gul Dukat have been significant parts of the Armada III team for three years now. There comes a time when it feels right to clock out and put your feet up.
All the best guys you gave a lot of people a good time with the best trek game i find ever.
I am a sad bun.

Best wishes to you both. Thank you for helping to bring one the best mods to Sins and create arguably one of the best Star Trek themed games in our recent history. This mod is different than so many others due to the dedication and effort on the part of the whole modding team and it shows. You are the golden standard of making mods. I look forward to see what your talents can and will create next. Peace and long life!
It has truely been a joy watching this mod grow. I wish both you and Gul a bright future!
