Well here we are, another christmas. I hope you are all enjoying nice holidays, relaxing after the rush of finals. We have some good news and a tiny little gift for you guys today. Space is moving along nicely. We just recently finished mouse, keyboard and joystick input for the space flight. I also think you will enjoy the level of customizability you will have with the input too. Most of the major bugs have been worked out and we're now in the process of polishing up and adding things like the HUD.
On the mapping side, es_sheldon is still progressing a lot. It's being proped and lighted as we speak with great props from Engelus, another new level artist. TDA has also made a return to the art team (and what a surprise that was). He leaves you today with your christmas present, a bit of concept art of the NGM Hacker (soon to be modelled by Raz). Since this is done, he is now in the process of tearing up each of our ships for the dynamic damage models. It's going to be an exciting holiday!
Happy Holidays!

P.S. Most of the dev team will be checking the forums a lot during this holiday season so head on over to our Forums and try to get some more info on the mod! ;-)
Woohoo, great job, I posted on the forums too :)
