The Final Frontier team log, earth stardate - 317028.1
We are proceeding with the development of the TC at a high rate of speed.
Our first priority is releasing a new alpha plugin add-on for the EV Nova scenario.
The alpha plugin in will feature 18 new systems, over 35 new planets, stations, bases, and wormholes.
We decided after much debate, to let everyone see a small glimps of the Borg,
Cardassian and a dozen Starfleet Federation Ships will also be included.
New missions, cargos, fleets, and persons.
It will also contain all new weapons, outfits, explosions, and new sounds.

Below are notes for a few of the Final Frontier team members.
Some team members were not able to submit an article for this newsletter, but will be in later issues.
------------------ Note from JCC ------------------
Hey MEMBERNAMEHERE,
Thank you for your continued interest in STN:TFF. I know for a while there it was slow; swim and I had a lot on our plates. Fortunately we have more time now and, even more fortunately, we got some new members to the team. Work is now proceeding at the highest rate since I joined the team over a year ago.
As you may or may not know, I am doing pretty much all of the non-mission writing for the TC. Here is a quick progress log of how much of each type of writing is done:
- Bar Descs:
-
100%
- Spob Descs:
-
95%
- Federation ship descs:
-
100%
- Non-Fed ship descs:
-

- Hailing texts for every gov:

Stay tuned for the teaser!

--------------- Note from Yoda -------------------
Hello, MEMBERNAMEHERE!
I'm the fourth in the graphics gang, made up of FunkMaster, Highway of Life, Okan, and myself.
I will also be writing some of the missions.
Things are going pretty well as far as important planets go.
We already have a lot of key planets down, including Qo'Nos, Cardassia Prime, Andoria, Tholia, Tezenketh, Ba'Ku to name a few – all of which will be included in the teaser.
For Space Stations, we will have a Particle Fountain, Starbase 1, Orbital Office, and others.
I thank you all for your support and patience. We have almost developed enough material to make the teaser, so it won't be long until you can download a sample of what is yet to come.

------------- Note from Highway of Life --------------
Hello MEMBERNAMEHERE,
Thanks for your support of The Final Frontier. Your support and interest is what keeps us motivated to get the TC out in a timely manner.
Currently I am in charge of some of the graphics for STN: TFF – planets, wormholes, sounds, explosions, stations, and some ships as well.
I will be doing some mission writing for the TC, and much of the programming for the Nova files.
Currently I am working on putting together the teaser, which is an addon plugin to the EV Nova scenario.
Below you will find the map that I created for the addon teaser. Some of the names may change, but that will be the general layout.
The section shown is the Northwestern-most quadrant of the EV Nova galaxy.
