It's official: after eight months of development, the Phoenix Rising Starfighter Mini-Mod is in final alpha stages and will be available for public beta testing at midnight GMT-5 on Monday, April 23, 2007. As the name implies, this version will include the asynchronous tech tree fully implemented for fighters and bombers. However, as all the elements of space combat from the final version are already in place, this will essentially be a mini-mod in name only. Here is the final tech tree and ship list:

Alliance

Empire

  • Fighter: T.I.E. Starfighter / TIE Fighter ― TIE Advanced x1 / TIE Advanced x2 / TIE Avenger ― TIE Advanced x3 / TIE Interceptor ― TIE Advanced x7 / TIE Defender ― XM Nova Wing

  • Transport: Lambda-class T-4 Shuttle ― GAT-12 Skipray Blastboat ― Sentinel-class Landing Craft ― Gamma-class ATR Assault Transport

Excellent! loved it. Its just that it seems very unstable on my computer at least- no lag, and yet it crashes annoyingly frequently, even when there aren't many ships on the map.

It works, guys. It does require a LOT of patience to get past the loading screens, but is worth it. No matter how super awosme your video card is, that has nothing to do with the problem caused with this mod. Its your processor power thats causing the majority of the problems. The orignal FOC came out before dual core processors, and it is believed that there is a processor usage cap hidden somewhere in the files. They have updated the game to reduce a sgnificant amount of the lag, but have also removed the largest map avaibale in previous versions as it is completely unplayable. Also there is no Death Star in this mod, as the Rebels have nothing to counter it with, in size or strength. And this game is made BY Star Wars nerds, FOR Star Wars nerds, so nothing like gundams or anything silly like that will not be inculded in this mod.

Hey guys, just downloaded your mod and it's great, but there is a problem...
when I try to lounch GC on one of the two largest maps, nothing happens-the game stops to do anything, I tried waiting even for half an hour, and my computer didn't start to work(no dignal of hard drive activity).I have pretty good computer:intel quad 2,4GHz, ati radeon hd3650(that isn't so good I know). Do you know why is it so?
Second thing is, what does these options of armament mean(like in MC80reef home, which has four options, and what, it could have just 6tractor beams and nothing else?

nothing really my rig is godly and i still chug a good bit, its just the number of units on the map, there are so many planets thus there must be so many garrisons, resulting in squishy lag
