Well modders have something called lives.

And also they have no obligation to even create a mod. They do this on their own free time.

Also you go ahead to try to gather and create the resources needed to create something like DoV and come back k?

As a modder I can tell you its not easy. Distant Stars merely improves gameplay and it can take a lot of time. Sins of the Prophets and DoV make significant changes to the game itself. Its not surprising that it is taking so long. Add in the fact that the game code changed (through updates) over time causing a lot of their work to be undone makes it worse.

Besides, most of them (like me) usually have a 40+ job and a family that can also take up time.

QTF

We mod mainly for ourselves, because we want to, and because we can. We don't have to share our work with anyone. Like what was said above. We have absolutely no obligation, or commitment to do so. We share our work, because we want to. Not because we have to.

Modding is a HOBBY. Not a full time job. None of us are getting paid to do what we do. Most of us have real life 40+ hour a week jobs, and family's. We don't sit in front of a PC busting our ass's 24/7 just to make a mod for the ungrateful, and unappreciative, and lazy people who wont put forth the effort to learn how to mod for themselves.

I always give the same answer when we get something like "When the hell is it gonna be released?!"...

Answer.. "When its done". Could be a week. Could be 10 years from now. We work at our own pace, when we have the free time to work on our projects, and when we are motivated, or "arsed" to do something with our projects. It will get done when it gets done. You don't have the patience to wait? Move on.

it seriously is. Its the only forum I know where the "Recent Posts" are not actually the recent posts.

But oh well at least I can see which forum people are posting from!!

*sighs at the tone of the original question (and the fact that the world seems to owe the poster everything they desire).

C'mon if you are so impatient - write your own mod so we can all enjoy the fruits of YOUR labour.

Yeah, we don't get paid to make mods. But thanks for your interest though!  If we are going too slow for you, please try and make your own, and report back when you have something worth releasing...Thanks.

WHAT THE HELL, you are really nice people that you take the time to answer such a post.

Don't forget that there are many people appreciating your work and wait patiently without posting.

You know IncredibleLOLk, you suck. See if I ever make anything for you, EVER. These people do this because they want to and they most certainly do not do it for you.

As the soup nazi from Seinfeld would say:

NO MOD FOR YOU!

Seems Fred got a forum smurf, lol. 

If this is trolling, this is pretty pathetic. Honestly, nobody here is angry or raging, we're just laughing at the idiot... That's opposite to the goal of any good troll.

I just about cried with joy when i first saw the sins of the prophets mod.  While it is taking slightly longer than we would all like,

you cant do anything about it.  Do you realize that the time they take to respond to your shitty ragepost is time they might

have been using to make the mod?  Instead of saying discrediting and mean things like

"WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", you

could make it go faster by keeping your silence or better yet, helping them out with programming or something (which i doubt

they would trust you with anyway 'cause of this bullshit).

Lets all just be happy with each other.
