• Hello and welcome to MSFC. We are a small and close knitted community who specialises in modding the game Star Trek Armada 2 and the Fleet Operations modification, however we have an open field for discussing a number of topics including movies, real life events and everything in-between.

    Being such a close community, we do have some restrictions, including all users required to be registered before being able to post as well as all members requiring to have participated in the community for sometime before being able to download our modding files to name the main ones. This is done for both the protection of our members and to encourage new members to get involved with the community. We also require all new registrations to first be authorised by an Administrator and to also have an active and confirmed email account.

    We have a policy of fairness and a non harassment environment, with the staff quick to act on the rare occasion of when this policy is breached. Feel free to register and join our community.

I should have known to leave well enough alone, but I Googled Jetnova16 anyways. I am amazed at what a persistent pest this person is. I followed one of the hits to a thread on AFC and found a link to a MegaUpload mod purporting to be a Terran Empire and Alliance Mod by him. So I D/L'd it. There are no credits listed anywhere. Nor does he say yes or no on whether he made everything in it. But the way it is presented certainly would lead one to think he had done everything. There are meshes and textures from everyone who is anyone within the A2 Community. Especially MAP, Dan1025, Aad, and Jetfreak, whom he refers to in another post as 'jetfreka'. If MAP is still a moderator over on AFC, I really think someone over here should politely ask him to remove the posts and links in question. They are as blatant a case of mod theft as I've ever seen anywhere. Far worse than anything SquireJames ever did.

I have confirmed Jetnova16 is in fact within the Greater NYC area, he is a twenty three year old white single male with no current girlfriend who lives with his parents, and he has a page or is registered on every single social interaction site available which is even remotely connected to Star Trek. He lists himself as a student but then speaks about someone at work. I cannot reconcile the ISP listings he uses regularly yet. Some show him where you'd expect but then others are well away from the rest. He does have a World of Warcraft account and a ModDB account but neither of these have shown any activity in the past six months. There are two MySpace accounts. One is apparently used as a SPAM catcher and the other he visits infrequently. He has also annoyed the heck out of the publishing houses which produce Star Trek hardcover and paperback books.

Because he is careless about whom he interacts with and what he tells them, due to him thinking he is very much more intelligent than the rest of us, I can probably track him right back to the specific WiFi modem he uses in the particular Starbucks he haunts. I already have credit card numbers(both maxed out, lol) because he very foolishly sent them via email to someone. As was the case with SquireJames, he is leaving a trail through cyberspace half a mile wide which even a blind man can follow. I don't mention my abilities very often, but people, please be a little more circumspect and discreet about what you share with whom. Some of the Cyber Ninjas are really very very bad guys who will hurt you permanently without a second's hesitation.

And let what I've discovered about Jetnova16, aka JetNova, aka James Terranova, be a warning and a reminder to all of us. Cyberspace isn't nearly as anonymous as we all fondly fantasize it is. The very second you hit the 'Submit' button, you are announcing loudly to the world exactly where you are. The more times you do it, the more precisely some of the not so nice InterWebs denizens can zero in on your location. Takes about thirty minutes to make up a new person with my address, your bank account number and someone else's driver's license number. And then, the phone calls from the collections agencies start. Last time, took me about US $1,500.00 and a week's vacation to clear up.

Note to Site Managers and Maj: None of the information listed above was acquired by illegal means. This means I did not hack into anyone's site or do anything morally questionable. Believe it or not, there's rules to this sort of thing.

I think we do rather well, in the history of the A2 Community we've had what, under a dozen bad members, about 3-4 really bad ones and the other several hundred are great people. I think when you look at the numbers it could've been a lot worse, especially when you look at some of the other online communities.

Katala and I have already decided that if we came into a lot of money we would pay for a lot of you to come over (or in the case of people like Rawks and Darklight, come up/down) to us for a massive MSFC Member get together. Now time to get the money somehow. :lol:

We should set up a booth at a comicon.:D We could all get together there.:lol: Is there a comicon in AUS? I assume there would be one. at very least, at Sidney.


@ thunderfoot

You might want to stop looking. He may end up hurt.:lol2: Its bad enough we have his facebook, but if you get his address, we might have to sic EAS and his tranquilizers on you. :lol2:

You make it sound like I might do something. Something bad. Why would I want to? He is his own worst enemy. But if you're going to center yourself squarely in my gunsight after you've done something nasty to people whom are my friends. why act surprised when I pull the trigger?

No, Z, I learned a loong time ago people like this guy do themselves in far faster than anyone else can. I do not have to hurt him. But I do not have to save him either.

Major Payne is still an Admin there but doesn't remove the links, I think because AFC is so dead he is just happy to have the activity. They really only have themselves to blame, as the way they treated a lot of founding MSFC Members is why it's now so dead, we migrated here so we would be treated fairly and not told what to think like Cecilzero did. But I do know Jetnova hosts my stuff on other sites and doesn't credit me. He clams he hasn't done so and never said a bad word about me, in a PM on FO and told him what for, gave him a couple of links including that one that TUN posted earlier and I got no response, I think he has got it into his head that I know what he has done and if he continues I'll stop lending him a hand on the FO Forums with problems.

One is apparently used as a SPAM catcher and the other he visits infrequently. He has also annoyed the heck out of the publishing houses which produce Star Trek hardcover and paperback books.

I do know he was writing a book and said that it was going to get published. :rolleyes:

Also one of this earliest ways to try and get help was to say he was a computer games student and his mod was part of a assignment, it was all a load of poop, we caught him out so many times, his myspace page actually stated he was a Japanese Language Student or something, he linked it in his AFC profile.

Because he is careless about whom he interacts with and what he tells them, due to him thinking he is very much more intelligent than the rest of us

That is his downfall, he overestimates himself and underestimates everyone else, it's the exact same flaw that someone that Katala and I know here in AUS has. Kat and I have enough dirt on him to have him in prison if he steps out of line with us. I doubt he knows we have half of what we do. We are keeping quiet about it, if he leaves us alone, we'll leave him alone, if he starts causing grief for us, a couple of phone calls is all it will take to get the ball rolling.

It's rather funny at times when people like this think they are so smart, yet a 12 year old is probably smarter.

That's good to know. :thumbsup:

Nope, we don't have things like that, not even in Sydney. The occasional thing perhaps, but it's like once every 10 years when a TV star comes over. I have never been to anything like that, the closest I have come is a Computer Market which obviously not the same.

It's generally better to PM Katala about such things anyway, as she manages the site more than I do, I generally just do the technical and maintenance issues like when something isn't working or broken. She does a lot more of the everyday duties and running of the site.

I wish I could say I was surprised that he's passing other peoples mods off as his own, I can't even bring myself to be all that PO about my stuff not being credited to be honest, it's others like Majestic who've had serious problems with mod-theft in the past I think of here. I think most people who've been around the community enough times will recognise other peoples work the way Rich did, and anyone who talks to/with jetnova will figure out in a heartbeat that he doesn't have the knowlegde, talent or imagination to create what people like Jetfreak, Majestic and Aad have.

It's pathetic really the number of contradictory lies he goes through; I think I saw him change occupations 3 times in one FO forum thread once :lol: He's nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is, and like Majestic said he underestimates the intelligence of everyone else he encounters online, which is a stupid mistake as Rich has just demonstrated how easily personal information can be collected without doing anything outside the law, to say nothing of those out there who have no such moral restraint.

By the way Rich; I'm now picturing you in a sepia-toned office, wearing a suit, and a hat set at an angle. with a PI lisence on the wall behind the desk :p

Yup. Just teamed up with Dixon Hill. And together, we're on the case. :lol2:

Not keeping an eye on him out of malice or hatred or with bad intentions. Just wanna know where he's at and what he's up to. So he can't stick an oar in at an inopportune moment. I am distressed to find out his tastes in PC and console games matches up with mine so well, however.

Never hurts to know what he's doing, hence why I talk to him a bit on FO, as long as he thinks I am he is getting my help on here, less likely he is to try and come over here and to also stop annoying me by spreading lies all over the internet.

He's posting the links out of sheer ignorance in my opinion - he knows he can't get his mod released without permissions now, but he thinks that posting download links for people to help him is different than releasing the mod itself. :oops:

Pretty sure I saw some Fleet Ops stuff in the D/L as well. FO has a very distinctive style and feel which is impossible to misinterpret. The "glows" are just a small part of this visual difference actually. The "mod" is a horrendous mess, as one would expect by now from him. No AIPs. No buildlists. Things just thrown together willy nilly and no cohesion to any of it. Amazing this guy can even find the "On" button on his puter.

Seriously speaking, I pity Jetnova. It must be so bad fighting against the whole world and still thinking that you're right and not anyone else has...

Yup, there is quite a bit of FO stuff there in those downloads - we haven't really pursued it because of the above reasons afaik. In this state Jetnova's mod mess is harmless, and so it's not worth it to hunt all those aspects down because he can't do anything with them anyway:sweat:

I think this is one of his major problems. I've been willing to help him out with AIs the last week or so, he being completely incapable of even writing a non-crashing buildlist, and he still thinks he's the most intelligent being on the planet, and all other people are stupid or racist or something. Even worse, everytime he posts a bug reports he rants how we always say the same things (the ODFs being his problem, as he misspells lots of stuff), yet it always turns out to be an ODF problem. I really really wished he would learn to behave, but I don't think he will. Seems like that one-year ban didn't do anything at all.

Perhaps the scariest part of this to me is the thought, "There, but for the Grace of God, go I." I too, have a very short fuse on my temper and I work really hard every day to control it. I wonder how much of his behavior is driven by his anger and frustration with himself for apparently being unable to do even the simplest things in modding which all of us take for granted we can do or can understand the second or third (or fiftieth, lol) time someone explains it to us?

@ K_merse: My friends cannot upset me. One should care about his/her friends because of their quirks and the disagreements friends so often have, not in spite of them.

Amen to that, I am the same, so is my father and grandfather and I can guarantee if Kat and I have a son he will be the same. Darn temper, it's like a fire inside burning out of control and the firefighters (aka Katala) are just managing to keep it from burning that house down. Sometimes I wonder how someone as screwed up as me ever managed to make such good friends as you guys.

Once upon a time I did upset you and you me. But then again we weren't friends back then, just fellow A2Files members with different opinions over a particular importer that shall not be named. :lol2:

I too have a temper, one that took me 18 years to learn how to control. Maybe that is one of the reasons we are friends, we see us self in each other. And come to think about it; Fire is my element. :lol:

I couldn't agree more. :)

The more I study him the more I'm starting to believe he's just some Uber-Troll. Accidentally misspelling your mod as the "Star Trek Copulation Mod" seems a little too coincidental. :yum:

He chucked a dummy spit today at me and so I have now told me I will no longer be talking to him. I knew it was only a matter of time and I tried to get along with him. He just didn't like it that I was trying to help K_Merse out in a thread he started, demanded that it was his thread and he had a say in what can and can't be posted. I mean if he was a moderator then fair enough, but he isn't.
