yes your constant redownloading of the WHOLE mod EVERYDAY was very annoying and ate up my bandwith giving me lagg and other problems

i'll reinstate you on monday, i have too much modding to catch up on. For the other beta testers, you might want to stay away from federation fights, they will own you very badly becuase i am in the process of nerfing the mod balance, its ok to run klingon vs klingon for now.

Hey DarkShimmer, are you seeing me on Live Sync, because I can't tell (never worked with windows live sync before).

Sync can be a pain in the ass for those who dont know it, but it is very useful

As for when the is next release?... I really dont know. There is much work to do, and i need to catch up on alot from the modeling aspect. I need to ether convert, or mesh from scratch structures for all of the factions. I am not sure how much i can do due to my RL job and all of my traveling.

Shimmer is re-doing the balancing that the new dynamic movement system messed up. The new movement system is awsome! but right now frigates instapop even faster than the original 0.03 release. Its basically whichever frigate shoots 1st wins, and most frigs go down in 1 volley. Shimmer knows about this, and is working on fixing it. He has alot on his plate so cut him some slack, and trust his judgement. He hasnt let us down yet.

The UI needs work again. Icons dont show up until you zoom way out. most of the ships dissappear long before an icon shows for them. We will work on fixing the zooms.

Portaits and other stuff are missing as well. I assume it is because we had to redo the mod yet again from scratch to get it to work in entrenchment 1.02.

When we know when everything is ready to go then you will know.

CLOSED BETA TESTORS (all that were authorised to download the mod via sync)

You are testing the mod for us to give us a 3rd party point of view. It is mainly for the balancing of the mod.

We only want to know about legit bugs right now. Not nit picky fanboy is it canon, or not arguments. Trust me this mod is far more canon than ST:Online will ever be.

Legit bugs are ships doing stupid things like flying backwards, or congregating toward the nearest roid during a firefight. Missing textures, Mesh errors, Weapons acting wierd like firing backwards. Weapon effects errors, or balancing issues like the instapop issue, or if a frigate/cruiser/elite is way too OP over its equivilent counterpart. Focus on the mechanics before the eye candy. The eye candy will come later.

i must have skipped over you accidently, you have been added.

There has been a screw up on the scales for the borg cubes (tac, scout, and standard) The tactical, and scout cubes should be around 1500 meters. The standard assimilator cube is 3000+ (depending if BOBW, 1st contact, or voyager style). Ex Astris Scientia has all the cubes scaled at 3k+ meters, but when you look at screen caps the tactical cube is clearly smaller than 3k. That could be your issue with the ships re-entering wormholes inadvertently.

Show a screen of the texture weirdness. and what video card are you using. theres been some known issues with ati chipsets with sins.

I will rescale the tac, and scout cubes later.

Lol make the borg ships all cost metal instead of crystal and credits

ok no borg bugs then:) but the first cap you make is free so i rely on frigets and crosers till i got enuff flet suply, that cube you made is insane nothing the ai has cod beat it yet, but its only one so what you can do on larger maps are limited. may be you shoud make the caps cost some thing from the begining? also i thing you shoud make the borg sveare more powerfool and the cruser cube less, in my opinion the round one has more apill, like you shood not have a cube till you get the bigg one and it finaly pays off, but thas just me.

so againg great mod i realy enjoy it, cant say i have left the house since i got it:) now time to test the feds

sorry for any typos.

I know you guys had said it before, but oops I forgot that the newest beta for SoA2 was for the entrenchment addon.  So I'm downloading it now and I should have it ready for you by tommorrow (hopefully when my version of impulse gets fixed).

Thanks for letting me join and I'll try to give you my most honest opinion.

sorry but i have to take a break from the mod becos i acedentely shot my self with an air gun. im realy sorry becos i love the mod:(

lol no ofcorse not.

You do have HD space don't you?  It's not like a zipped copy of the thing is several gigs or something.

Not now to be honest

Ya i have more than 20+ gb on at least of my 10 hard drives...

I just keep forgeting to do that every time
