Although there are no progress updates to post about, I felt like something had to be produced in the three months time since my last update here. This comes in the form of a 'newsletter' which contains all misc. updates over the past three months. Enjoy!

Progress on the mod
First off, FX is still alive. Development of v1.84 is underway as we speak, but since the time of the team is limited the overall progress has slowed down a bit. In addition, there are not much updates on v1.84 as the main focus right now is the v1.9x series. Regardless, we should have some screenies of v1.84 up later this week. FX v1.84 most likely will hit the download mirrors within approximately 2 weeks time, so stay tuned.

What can we expect?
Like I previously mentioned, the main focus right now is the v1.9x series. From there onwards, the REAL mod makes it appearance in the form of a complete Bentusi race, Single-Player campaign and much more. Overall, the v1.9x series will be something to look forward to. Whether you liked the v1.8x series or not, things will be totally different from now onwards. And I'm pretty sure there will be at least one thing in the new updates you'll like.

What about a MAC version?
The release of a version that supports MAC operating systems has been planned a long time ago, but there are some issues with converting the mod to a version that supports the MAC. Also, do not bother manually installing the .big files in order to be able to play it -- the v1.8x series have a 'splash' main menu that will give a segmentation error when you try to run the mod. Instead, please wait for the MAC supporting version.

- Want a faster release of the Mac version? You can help by contacting Xangle13 at our forum (http://hwfx.galaxygaming.net/forums/index.php) as he is looking for Mac users to help with testing/converting the mod to a mac version.

New Website
We are proud to announce that we have launched the official website for our forum! There is alot that has to be done, but so far we have the Image Gallery where you can upload your Homeworld/SoaSe/EVE screenshots and share them with our community. In addition, we have an IRC chat channel up and running (#hwfxchat) you can join soon once we've finished setting it up as well.

That is about all for now. Remember to click 'Track this mod' to receive the latest updates on our mod or register at our forum (hwfx.galaxygaming.net) to gain access to our download section, join our discussions about the mod or benefit from our member-only features like the arcade, shoutbox and image gallery.
