Something that finally clicked, made me realize that there may be some confusion about the Reckoning, and it's "TEAM."
In October 2003 I decided to check out Freelancer, as I heard that it was alot like Privateer.
When I did a search on it, I came across Lancer's Reactor, and discovered that Freelancer could be modded.
I purchased Freelancer, taught myself how to mod it, and made the first of my "Equalizer" mods.
When I was ready, I started doing some research to find data on the original Privateer.
To my surprise, it led me back to Lancer's Reactor, and to Bob McDob & Tolwyn, who, along with Acid, were working on the Reckoning mod.
Acid had just left the team to pursue other things, So I requested, and was granted permission, to join the team working on the mod.
Being an obnoxious, take-charge, kinda guy, I sorta took over the mod.
Tolwyn, upon seeing the mod take off as it did, left the team to concentrate on WC-Saga.
(Which left me & Bob McDob as it's only members.)
I searched through Lancer's Reactor's download section, and discovered a couple of Wing Commander ships, and some Privateer equipment.
I ask for, and was granted permission, to use the Privateer Sensor icons, the Banshee, and the TCS Vesuvius ships.
(See the mod's credits.)
When Lancer's Reactor started several Mod-Specific forums, I jumped at the offer!
(It's the 2nd most posted to Mod-Specific forum on Lancer's Reactor.)
Over time I found Swift, who did all of our other icons, and Sadra, who made the Tarsus and Privateer mines.
(Swift got bored of FL and left, and Sadra's joined another mod.)
However, the only permanent members have always been Bob McDob, and myself.
(And with my leaving, the only "TEAM" member left, is Bob McDob.)
