Hello everybody !

Yes we're still working on the mod, and no, it's not dead !

We've made tons of improvements since the last piece of news :

A new teammate joined us, XoD, from the Perfect Dark Source mod.

We translated the whole mod in English and in French.

Players can now choose ,when they host, to activate or not the XP mode, in which you earn points and can level up.

Also the motherships are now working well ! They spawn correctly, their turrets are moving along the ship, other players can jump into them, and they can lock other ships ! So you can now easily shoot down a small fighter, like x302 or Deathgliders for example !

Check that in this (poor quality) video :

In this video, you can see players in the X303 (one piloting, the others firing from the turrets) attacking an Hatak.

We set up a versioning system, and since it's creation in january, we made more than 30 improvements to the mod, including more than a half of bugs.

We modified some maps to make them more impressive, and easier to understand.

However, I can't give you any release date for the beta..

We still have to:

Create minimaps for every maps,and make them work online

Fix the flight parameters of the x302 and deathglider
Change the camera for the motherships
Fix some bugs with the replicator spawn
Balance the bonus earned at each level
Maybe add one or two maps !
And we have a few other ideas that could be cool

As soon as it's done, the mod will be avalaible !

See you soon !
