One Vision 0.7 - Status Update news

Despite the lack of recent updates, the new version of One Vision is on the best way to hit its final phase. As of now, I'm reaching the point where I am satisfied with the amount of tweaking, bugfixes, balancing and new content.

I'm confident that 0.7 will provide a much smoother experience and features a noticeable difference to 0.6. Depending on how fast things work out, version 0.7 can be expected to be released at the end of May or the first week of June.
In terms of innovation, the upcoming version of One Vision will surpass all previous versions and is intended to serve as great setup for the version coming.

However, for the future, I plan doing smaller updates, focussing on a selected range of factions and improved balance. My ideal goal is to make every unit and upgrade a valid choice and as such my focus shifts now to revaluating existing content.
While I'm still eager to create new units, upgrades and special powers, I simply want to have a closer look at what has been done so far and improve them.

What I can tell already that a faction centred update is already planned as a follow up to 0.7, revolving mainly around Reaper-17. In its current form, Reaper-17 is a difficult faction with little reward and as such, a huge reconstruction for this faction is scheduled.
A Reaper-17 rework was originally intended to be part of 0.7 but it would delay the upcoming release by another two, three or even four weeks.

That being said, I want to announce that every interested person can join our beta tests to speed up progress of the mod. If you want to participate and have some influence on the mod, simply write me a personal message and if possible, tell me your Skype name.The mod is still in a flexible state and as such, constructive feedback is very valuable.

To compensate for the long wait, I will post some bits of information what you can expect from the new version. This is only a teaser and doesn't sum up all changes. Also, everything is still work in progress and might change.
