I also second Curlsworth's idea of checking with other skilled modders that you know on this forum, or possibly elsewhere that could help out with more coding, modeling, textures, etc. You guys will need to come up with a quantitative goal to reach, after taking costs and everything into consideration. All you need at this point is a capable team that you are preferably acquainted with and who shares our enthusiasm, and then you guys can make the glam and glitter needed to generate enough media hype to advertise the kickstarter. Like Curlsworth said, we'll gladly support your project. Working on it painfully slow? Still the best space sim news I've heard all day! Jack is Back. Too bad they can't just open their own studio. If all the pro modders in this community were to make their own space game and were given the budget and time (7 years full time paid labor) that EGOSOFT had I would bet money that it would blow X-R out of the water. I mean come on, there's a HUGE problem if a game company needs to rely on it's fanbase to make the game good, and an even bigger problem if they need to rely on their fanbase to make the game functional at all. I personally think EGOSOFT needs to support themselves by making and selling good software, and not rely on the hardwork of their fanbase to do their jobs for them, and as a matter of fact, better than the actual devs. They should have known better from the start to not make X-R, but what's done is done. Well to be honest, it's not like our (read some of us) trust in EGOSOFT has been damaged for no reason. Rebirth trashed their reputation, and no one of use wants to see Egosoft go away - bringing out another official X3 expansion could bring some trust back and fill up their bank account a little bit. This may sound far-fetched, but have you thought about contacting Egosoft? I can totally see that your mod may serve as the base for another X3 title.
