Figure I mention it, but got a crash when attacking chaos portals.

Steam just got a HUGE update. Think you will use the workshop?

I don't suppose Geronimo you know a way to 4gb patch steam's executable :/ the error 51 seems to be at fault. basically steam won't properly patch it's exe

how odd. This is your mod I am playing. Ill see what I can decipher, but no other mod is installed.

I find myself getting this nearly every match. not all the time, but later on, this seems to occur.

The series of numbers in the stack continues onwards, but I figured this is worth pointing.

Jero, you've made my day. Oh my god, I have been following you for a LONG time. Thank you for bringing me this game back!

You Are Awesome Jero. I have eagerly awaited your work for a Long time. Thank you for reviving this game for me!

Run into something odd. Installed THB, then the 1.8.2. However, on game launch, I can activate TBH in game manager, but the one that says New Factions won't activate. Ideas?

Some units are remodeled old ones, new everything. Plus some new ones. You can tell Gero's excellence and standard of quality here are very apparent.

I for one, do read your descriptions. Your descriptions have helped me immensely in figuring out which ship is which and has helped my battle plans, which is more then most mods which don't even provide a proper description of what a thing is.

Any updates?

I don't see a issue if a handful of special fighters don't have it in exchange for special abilities. Mostly, What I refer to is our interceptors and such, which make the bulk of our grunts in space. Without those guys, Imperial ships for instance get swamped fast traditionally. Something like the Defenders though, and I'm also assuming B-wings, would be our more elite forces. I can deal with a small number of a specific fighter personally needing orders to act. It's all the unnecessary minutia of the interceptors that most often irritates me, and sometimes bombers too.

On that note, I was reminded of the TIE Shadows, the imperial cloaking fighters. Did you ever do a model of those? Or are they not in? I likely missed it awhile back.

A persistent concern of mine is that fighter craft come without the hunt ability. As cool as fighters are, I always abhorred Rebellion fighters and most fighters in mods because I could not relegate my fighters to AI so they can move and act on their own while I handle fleet maneuvers. I always hated this because there is no notable reason to not give them this ability, since it simply puts them on auto. In the end, I almost ritualistically have to individually track down fighters because I'm too busy countering the enemy fleet early on to handle the fighters. Do you intend to add the Hunt Ability to fighters so that they can be put on auto so we can watch the fleet fights and command starships if we want to without suddenly seeing fighter support completely lagged behind?

Actually, it is in fact possible from the nilla version on space stations. those hard points show up in grey, telling you that you can bring them back if you pay to rebuild them. After they siphon some cash away, the hard point comes back fully rebuilt, however, that only applied to a few hardpoints. On the subject of space stations, they need to be absolutely powerful fortresses rather then a bomber happy player's rush target. it's no fair to watch 5 bombers somehow kill a space station in 5 runs if you go the route of targetable points for a space station (Please don't)

Gero, perhaps on the theme of repairs is pulling back a ship to a special satellite constructed facility that can repair not just destroyed parts, but perhaps the entire ship? This gives the feel of a more active combat front where critically damaged ships aren't used to attract fire and are pulled back to be repaired and sent back to the front, provided they escaped the melee

There would need to be way more fighters on both sides. For now it feels underwhelming, plus fighters are useless against the frigs. Oh and the human fighters can fly through the wraith cruisers unless near a small specific point

Wolf..no way...is this a fleet battle map? Only thing I can think of near a Sun is a fleet battle..lots and lots of frigates!!!!!!!!

That funny feeling you get when your hoping the silence is the prelude to release XP. Wonder what your cooking Geronimo.

I wonder if this ship will feature a brilliant death animation, with chunks and pieces flying all over the place! *slips a imaginary thousand bucks into gero's pocket with request*

From your work in ORAW Gero, I hardly think anything you have done here is a simple graphical improvement. Your ORAW mod is already one of the best out there, and it is fun having longer capital ship fights there. Your mods look great, play well, and are quite fine. The only thing ground really needs anyway are Ai pathing updates and new maps, and I have a feeling someone out there has mods to improve just that. Dzev is a small minority and apparently he can't comprehend reading the description. With google translate about, he has no excuse not translating your description to his native tongue either.

Thanks Geronimo. I often used the Arc hammer frequently in the GC for example. I loved building teams of dark troopers and using them to simotaneously raid many planets at a time. Plus you can park it about anywhere to build heavy and light troopers without actually needing a barracks :D. Useful for mining station only planets

Well I cant wait for the next update. A Small part of me still wonders about the Arc Hammer though. Dark troopers were useful, and I just frankly liked the ship :D

Any updates?

I would like to see the Stage 3 Dark trooper. Dark Times has the Stage 2, b a Stage would be awesome.

Also, what song is that in the vid?

So Geronimo, I feel bad for forgetting about this but I wonder...Do you have any plans in regards to the Arc Hammer?

Nevermind, I found out part of the reason behind the accelerated ship deaths, but still, a longer game would be fun. Bull rush seems to be a valid tactic in so far

Will there be any chance of there being a version where it has a more drawn out battle? Every fight I go to, the big ones, my ships blow up without actually being hit by the enemies projectiles. I know the goal is fastpaced but the ships need to appear as if they are really being hit by their opponents. Call it a weakness of someone who likes to watch the fights rather then click and not watching after.

So any idea when you can release a new demo with stuff? the cruisers are complete, Hive, ships, hanger it seems. Darts, ect

I apologize for impatience

I will take a look Striker, so thanks for the link. Still, I do a lot of mod switching. My concern however is that the only thing I am concerned about is swapping between the hard points. Considering how many weapons each ship will have, I think I might get lost in a mod like Geronimo's.
