Warriors of the Sky, Beta 1



ANNOUNCEMENT: Gameplay tuning patch released. Server ops and players wanting to playtest Beta 1, please download and replace the existing market_commodities.ini file with this new one. It retunes trade for better playability.

Download it here.

Beta 1 is here! After nearly 2 months of nonstop work on new aircraft, ships, cities and lots of other things... Warriors of the Sky has finally reached Beta 1.

RELEASE NOTES

Warriors of the Sky is a Total Conversion of the Freelancer universe. It's a world of aircraft and zeppelins, warships and hovertanks, machineguns and rockets. We're very proud to have reached Beta release status, and I'd like to take a moment to give credit to the mod team, which has done a fine job. Without their help, I would never have gotten this done

For those of you who've never played Warriors of the Sky before, there is now a game manual, which you can download here. Please read the manual- it's short and simple, and explains things that new players may find confusing.

For those of you who have played WOS before... this version features a number of new things:

1. New weapons, including the Rocket Torpedo and 100mm Cannon.
2. 15 new vehicles to drive, including Hovertanks, new Freighters, and lots of new Aircraft.
3. New sounds, including ocean surf sounds near the Ocean's surface (turn on Music to hear it).
4. Lots of other gameplay changes, including a fully-functional trade system so that players can earn some serious money in MP.

I would assume so, as soon as BP has assured himself that it's not going to eat anybody's machine

...in fact... there it is
