Have any of you given any thought to what happens when Starshoy moves on with his life and drops VEF. What then? VEF is Starshoy's. It is a one man show with the exception of invisible Valera. Why do you think he developed, expanded, managed, pulled his hair out, troubleshot, etc VEF? Out of the goodness of his heart so that we could enjoy a flight sim online? I don't think so. Hell, he states he doesn't even fly VEF. He is an entrepreneur who saw an opportunity and took it. Just open up your FB, select campaign, set your parameters, and then fly. It is VEF. Starshoy has incorporated VEF into Oleg's FB. That to me is immpressive. I believe that since it has made it to the CD is why he spends less and less time administering to VEF. He also is heavily involved in future projects with Oleg hence the trip to LA.
With his absence has come frustrations. Talk of creating an admin group. Problems in missions and with rules that go unresolved. Etc., etc., etc.
Perhaps with all the talent that lays in this diverse community of pilots, we should look at something new ourselves. Why could we not develope and have a similar online campaign? I think it is time to look into it myself. We have the skills, tools, and people to make it happen. When a one man show quits, dies, leaves, moves on, the show ends. I know that there are way too many of you parasites/junkies to want to see that happen.
For those of you who attempt to portray my thread as a rebellion or being devisive towards VEF are barking up the wrong tree. I admire what Starshoy has done. I respect his business capabilities. I have and will continue to enjoy VEF for as long as it is available. I just know from first hand experience that nothing lasts forever and would like to be in step with the changes when it happens. Those of you who have flown CFS1 know what I am talking about. Great game for it's time, was sad to see it end when Forgotten Battles came out.
It is possible to create another online entity that incorporates all of the good things from VEF, VOW, Forgotten War's, etc. We just need to act is all. If not, then when the day comes that VEF is no more is the day when severe withdrawl set's in. We have all experienced different degrees of it. For some, it almost requires hospitalization, right Beda san?
We have the people and talent to do this.
Post your comments and ideas and let's see if this is viable. Lets put our heads together and come up with an alternative to VEF.
