Ok, so progress on the mod has been going quite well recently. Though unfortunately it's going to slow quite alot. Reason being is past few months I'd been out of work so had plenty of time to devote to modding, great news for me I now have a new job, bad news is less time to work on the mod.

In terms of progress so far though, the caldari faction is now fully in and all working, projectiles and all balanced to the point i'm happy. You've probabaly seen the video of the faction so you can atleast know what ships and what to expect now when playing with them.

The gallente now have new projectile's and still working on the odd particle for them. Most of the ships are done, there a few more left to do and just a bit of re rigging to bring them in line with the caldari as i have upped the amount of hardpoints the ships have now after giving each a role. So hopefully not too much more work to get them finalised.
Finally the amarr have yet to be tweaked. I've been playing with trying to get the "beam"s right and it is proving to be a pain, so i may go down the road of using the "pulse" lasers for the smaller ships and try and get a beam im happy with for the bigger slower moving ships.
Some of you are eager to play the minmatar i realise, but as its adding in a complete 4th race  what i plan to do is get other 3 fully complete and make sure everythings work and THEN look at adding them in possibly after doing some new maps, as adding a fourth race in that works is very tricky and ALOT of work.

What i've also done is to get a lot of props done out of eve, so simple thing like asteriods, stations, debris will all be eve orinetated. Just to give it that authetic feel. I've still got do to a bit of work with them but it means alot of mapping, so nearer the time what i might do is look at putting up the props to download so the community can get involved in the mapping, but thats quite awhile down the road, but certainly something to keep an eye out for.

So don't worry work is still progressing just at a slower rate.....
