I don't know what to think about this mod. I come to TLR just about every day so I saw when this mod was first talked about and have been reading up on it. There are some things that are fishy.
1. In the beginning, just after the mod forum had opened, there was a person that was asking some in depth questions and none of them were answered and there have been many many other questions answered after they had posted these Q.
Just a couple of tech questions for you guys, this has got me kind of curious since I work in software design:
1. What language and generation of language are you building this new mod in? What platform will it be optimized for, and will we need new runtime files to use it?
2. How are you planning to access the Freelancer input thread and/or message queue? You must realize that you will have to in order to make the necessary changes to the engine at runtime, so which method are you using?
Also just the vast size of this project and how complicated it is. If you read through the forum and all the threads either these people are supper optimistic or they are just crazy or they are trying to con someone.
Today as I was reading on there forum there was a new thread asking for donations. They said that they needed $60,000 for the server that they were setting up!!! And there were many people that were skeptical. Later in the afternoon I wanted to read it again but the thread was gone?????
And as other have said they will not give out anything for THREE MOUNTHS.
I think that it sounds like a great mod but until I see some hard evidence as many people have said on the The Awakened Mod forum "This just too good to be true" I think that it is just that, to good to be true.
