Welcome, ES fans, to another weekly update here at our wonderful little corner of the Source mod universe.

This week, I present to you the UTF Gunship:

Players familiar with our 2.0 release will remember this as our APC ship, which allowed players to form attack squads and land on the enemy capital ship together.

In addition to that functionality, we've added something new this time. Gunships are now a mobile spawn point. Players can spawn directly inside, getting to the front lines of the battle much faster than before. Gunship pilots no longer need to wait for a full ship before setting out. We've mentioned this a couple of times before, but we also fixed that annoying gunship lag that we had in 2.3. We're pretty excited about that.

Anyway, it's been a busy week here at ES and I've got to get back to work. Our leader, Dan Menard, is heading off to San Francisco for the Game Developers Conference. That's where we were invited last year for winning Best Multiplayer FPS mod, a competition which unfortunately has been discontinued. Dan is there again, however, and he will be giving us a report of how things go. Stay tuned to his blog for that, or just check back here next week, when we'll surely be linking you.
