Noc i have been trying to get the community on board but there are questions there asking that i cant provide the answer to.

If you aren't after the source code I'm not even sure what you are trying to do. Keep the game available through steam?

Something called a NDA is in there stooping me from releasing that information but i am putting my own money into this so if you though i was joking about this im not if the community want to help then propose me a away of gathering the money "legally".

Mead look below,

This will be achieved by possible future sales of Supreme Commander and Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance and not only the profits that the company HostYourNet makes, thanks to the role you have all played and this is dependent on if we can get past both the initial stage and the final bidding stage. Once all the money has been returned, all profits from the sale of the game/s will go back into funding the likes of Forged Alliance Forever, Galactic War and the possible revival of GPGnet which will be hosting Supreme Commander, Forged Alliance (3599 Patch/Classic) and Forged Alliance (3603 Patch) as well as keeping the future of Forged Alliance running via Forged Alliance Forever.
The funding will be as follows from the profits:
o50% will go towards Forged Alliance Forever and new future projects.
o50% will go to keeping GPGnet up if it is revived, and if it can't be, then all funding will go towards Forged Alliance Forever.

But given CT is a fan of community modding you could ask if it was possible to tell us the format, give us the utility etc. Its not "impossible".

Captain obvious to the rescue : There is no community utility to create maps, the format is not documented so it's not possible to make ours, so even thinking of modding supcom2 is a lost cause.

I don't think optimal FA is an easy thing, after so many patches from SupCom to FA, they still not got it.
Even make a SupCom2:FA mod maybe an easier way, and no one got time to do this either.

If you could buy your licence and then download the game and faf client all at once it would be beneficial at a very low price.

The problem is I haven't seen anything moving forward, no actions such as I just got an email reply with the sales figures, estimated cost at auction, auction date/time, and what are the bidding requirements.

I mean I would buy Forged Alliance rights for 2-4x yearly sales personally. With the rights I would also get access to who has the source code, and who knows from there.
