Hello,

Does anybody knows when will be out of print Interstellar Operations? Is the project still alive?
Any new?

Mendrugo · « **Reply #1 on:** 12 February 2011, 16:51:00 »

The last mention of it was in a BattleChat late last year, when Herb said that Interstellar Operations was in development, while the Universe Book was teetering on the brink of cancellation. ('Waiting for me to axe it.")

IF we see it this year I doubt it will be much before Gencon.

Drufause · « **Reply #3 on:** 12 February 2011, 20:42:53 »

Looking forward to this very much.

Gunbunnie · « **Reply #4 on:** 13 February 2011, 01:11:54 »

Looking forward to it as well. What is Universe though?

Thanks gentlemen. I assume that we must wait until the time is ready.

I pray Blake's god and every other Super Power could exist in Catalyst to release to us so awesome knowledge...

Takiro · « **Reply #7 on:** 13 February 2011, 08:50:57 »

I'm anxiously awaiting this one as well guys. Gotta to say Catalyst usually doesn't disappoint when it comes down to release dates. So this your or next.

Universal Ops?

Seriously though I think IO should be a much higher priority

Takiro · « **Reply #9 on:** 14 February 2011, 15:58:13 »

I thought Galactic Ops was up next? :D

Demonthunder · « **Reply #10 on:** 14 February 2011, 21:44:28 »

Actually, if we just dial "0," we should be able to get some Phone Ops in a matter of minutes.

Our calls, however, may be recorded to assure quality customer service.

Phone Company sourcebook?

ComStar already has a source book 8)

Yes, but are its pages white, or yellow?

And if you dial 2 on the HPG, does your message automatically transmit in Spanish?

Your message could not be delivered, please hang up and try again. You will still be billed for the attempt though. Thank you for using WoB for all your HPG needs.

Dang.

Okay. Time to switch back to Interstellar Ops, and then hope I can get better service with Galactic Ops.

I cannot wait to see this book!

Stormcrow · « **Reply #19 on:** 21 February 2011, 07:35:43 »

From what I remember from the Saturday morning chat, the book is "going apace as core books do" My inference is that it is taking as long as it needs to get it right and that means that is behind schedule. However long that may be

Bedwyr · « **Reply #20 on:** 21 February 2011, 11:10:05 »

As well it should. Randall basically described 2-3 separate game systems in each "zooming out"; game systems that need to be tested, tweaked, and revised like any single game systems. I think this one's going to be a real bear and the cause of great exhaustion by authors and playtesters.

I'm always obliged to agree with anyone named Stormcrow.

;)

That said, I think this is the best way to do things, and it has worked for others in other situations.

Do it cheep, do it quick, do it right...pick one?

Korzon77 · « **Reply #23 on:** 22 February 2011, 02:41:53 »

Intersteller Ops needs to be done right and I expect it will take a long time.

Which makes me a sad camper in a way, because both it and Jihad Final Reckoning probably won't be out for some time...

But OTH, better right than soon. I won't, I don't think, Die waiting for it, after all.

TheOldGuy · « **Reply #24 on:** 22 February 2011, 18:42:14 »

Amusingly I still check this thread in the 1 in a million chance that someone has news. :-[

Medron Pryde · « **Reply #25 on:** 22 February 2011, 22:32:46 »

I check the thread because it is an unread thread and I have a compulsion to click the "you haven't read me and you want to read me" icon to see what people are saying...

:D

Stormlion1 · « **Reply #26 on:** 23 February 2011, 01:29:33 »

Same here. I would love to be a fly on the wall when the developers do playtesting though.

beachhead1985 · « **Reply #27 on:** 23 February 2011, 10:53:01 »

I think I am most looking forward to the new design rules, particularly the make-your-own planet rules, but also the stuff that is implied in Jihad: final reckoning.

Hey? What? What IS stuff is implied in JFR? We hardly know anything...don't we?

Korzon77 · « **Reply #29 on:** 25 February 2011, 16:53:40 »

Well ew know their are new lams-- or at least designs for them. Machina Domina could be a lot of things, ranging from IS protomechs to mechs iwth cyborg brains in them. Then we get he new Casper drones...there's a lot of goodness in there.
