A few of you may have noticed the lack of news lately. I can assure you it's only the calm before the storm. After our large scale beta test today, we've feature locked 3.0. This is the start of the home stretch toward release of Beta 3.0 and marks a huge milestone for the team. From now on we're simply going to be polishing and testing the game to death to make sure that when it reaches you, it will be the best gaming experience the ES team can deliver.
It's been a long road, and I can assure you that 3.0 will be nothing like anything you've ever played before. We'll be releasing manuals and information as release gets closer and closer, but I think everyone on the beta team will agree when I say the game is a blast.
We'll be releasing 3.0 with our whole new gameplay, two full space scenarios (es_aethra and es_nebular, both balanced to death), a total of 8 totally different ship classes, completely rebalanced weapons. ES brings teamplay to a whole new level. In fact here is a quote from one of our beta testers:
"I realized today that I have never, ever looked at my personal score in this version of ES. Do you know what this means? Eternal Silence has reached the holy grail of online team-based gaming. I think the reason for this is that the game makes teamwork very tactile, so I become absorbed in my team's objectives."
As a bonus, here are a couple of renders of two new turret models we added to the game just recently. Both are modelled by Tweek and skinned by Safemilk, and I have to say they did a swell job. These turrets will shoot at you from corvettes and capital ships.
Expect more news very soon. We're on the home stretch, it won't be long now!

Very well done, I look forward to the release....
:P
Almost there...
come on... i cant wait for this game...
Spread the word while you wait
Woah! I'm gonna play this when it's released, that's for sure, I played an earlier version and I thought that it was a cool idea but I didn't feel anything special, let's hope I do this time. :-)
Woah, I read that as "Feature unlocked!"
So did I. Then I read it again as 'Eternal Silence Feature Locked' (which implies the whole game only has balance tweaks and bug squashing left), and I was overwhelmed.
Then I read the thread and saw it was 'Version 3.0 Feature Locked' and I was slightly less overwhelmed.
I'll probably give ES a new try again. But if it's still 30 seconds of space flight for 5 seconds of FPS combat, I won't stick around long.
Nice.
I haven't yet played ES, but as with other mods I've been following, I've been waiting for the next releases before I try them out.
And I've gotta say, I love those turrets.
Ya harimau you gotta try it out...it's unfortunate because this mod is so great, kinda revolutionary for a source game with the space battles and everything but it's very much underplayed for the quality it brings to the table.
Hopefully with this next release more people will download it and play it so servers will be more common.
How system heavy is it now? Last time I tried playing I was only getting 5 fps half the time, even though i get 80+ on every other source game. Granted, last time I tried it was a long time ago.
That's rather unusual, but it is pretty heavy on the system. We're optimizing all our maps as best we can though, so it should run fine if you can run other source games ok.
Okay, I set an aim now. I will finally download and play this when it is released. Had the same plan with the previous versions but always hesitated... now I won't !!!
Great!! that means the mod is almost finished, right?
Yeah, its about done. Give us another month.
Not that many played this game when I got on,,plz everyone get on when I do !!lol
Very nice team... Now we all need to spread the word and tell everyone about this game! Seriously though the last version I played was great but it needed more people playing so lets get everyone amped for 3.0 :)
