Good to see our Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri 25th Anniversary being covered by you guys, cheers.

Funnily enough back in 2017 I took a look at the Star Trek Birth of the Federation 2 fan projects you guys mentioned, which yes was a while ago however I still visit their forums and the 2 main ones are still going! They're finally working on battle engines these days.

Alpha Centauri has always been one of our favorite games. Way back in 2008, DanQ organized a special about the game and it's community that you can find here here.

Based on what we heard from MegaBearsFan, the battle system in Birth of the Federation needed some real work, it's always great to hear about projects from the "old days" still getting attention and support!
