Chips Ive been reading all the posts on this mod in all the threads, if you pull off everything I read, this could be the number 1 mod, I like the ideas yoy have for the systems, I always wondered why everything was on the same level or axis, when space is 3 dimentional, glad your makeing your systems 3d I gotta tell ya Im REALLY looking foward to this mod, theres allot of really good mods out but the great ideas are spread out among them, and they all have 3-4-5 DLL files so there incompadible with each other (Except the FMA mod)

The FMA mod had allot of new systems, a great earth system similar to what you are doing in size, but NO add-ons or upgrades

TNG has a great add-on system, but only 2 bare bone systems, but has great potential

Rebalance (My favorite) has wanderers kickass capital ships, awsome mega battles, you can litteraly continuasly fight and never kill everyone. a good EA system, and 3 bare bone systems.

HU has allot of great replay things like what you mentioned and is a really good mod.

yours seems to take the best of all of these and then some. (Though I REALLY REALLY hope you add wanderers cap ships...Though I guess I can add them myself if not) Great work and if your preveous mods are any indication to whats comeing, youll definetly leave the others in the dust though I know its not a competition. sounds like your doing exactly what you said, makeing the game what it "COULD" have been, I can't wait to see it. Though I hope it comes out soon, I'll impatiantly wait lol.

Good news is that i aint heard anything from testers for a while. Either means they have gotten hold of X2 the threat, or that they have nothing to moan about. Both are good, but i would prefer the second one. This isn't an overstated and overblown mod. SOme of it is subtle, as i hate IN YOUR FACE aspects of some mods. As you say, i aint trying to make my own game.....cos if i wanted to show i had great game making talent, i would learn C++ and make a new game.
Other mods try to make new games, but instead just make a kinda hideous half spawn of a game, they try to change it all, but its still FL beneath it. Personally i hate things like that, but i know lots and lots of people LOVE that. However - that is personal taste. I haven't done any 'wow' factor mods - so i haven't created bigger than life weapons, crammed it full of 'new' weapons or anything - i aint changed much in the terms of looks of the game, its just a refinement. Hopefully if i don't have any bug reports, it will be out soon. Hopefully in the next week or so, but i have been saying that for over a month - lol

Let me test PLEASE PLEASE I promise I'll give feedback, I have noheing to do this weekend and cant afford X2 let me beta it PPLLEEAASSEE!!

Hey Chips, just loaded up temp from termoshad and noticed "smoking cardamine" conflicted. would it be hard to add that script change as an option?
I also really enjoy the ships from Hostile Universe Plus!
just a hopeful thought.

If I'm not here accepting the things I cannot change, I'm off somewhere ranting and raving about not being God.

Hostile Universe Plus?!?!!? i only got Hostile Universe 8

All I do for LOVE

firebase: the big HU mod I use is HU 8.1 which you can get on respawn's site. the HU plus! is a ship pack you can get there also. It has 3 versions of the thunderbolt from babylon 5, two thunderbolts and a lightning bolt. plus the sabre XR. both lightning and XR have Dr. Who storage bays. ie. capable of holding more than it seems. matter compression tech something or other. Plus Ion drives, faster and less drain than an advanced thruster.
and strangely enough, it only goes orange w/ TEMP. cool.

Chips: ARRrgh! I can't buy from neutral factions! making cash is gonna be a lot harder now. fortunatly I'm in good w/ ainu and roppongi.
I'm gonna be here a while.
the only fubar's I've seen is the odd view undocking, you went over that.
also when docking at roppongi I used to be able to run right up to it aiming myself at a dock hit f3 and the landing sequence would kick right in. Now when I do that , even from further off I swing off to the assembly area and approach the docks facing the assembly area (my ship tush is pointed right at new tokyo). a bit of a pain when I'm trying to skip into roppongi to avoid getting shot by hogosha
