Alroight so quite a few issues I have with the game as of rn because either the "Difficulty" bar doesn't have an actual effect upon the mod or something else is going on. (And btw this is the current and up-to-date release)

My first gripe is that there are far too few health/ammo dropping. While ammo itself isn't an issue in the slightest, the main crutch of the issue comes from the occasional sudden collisions, the fighters who love to swarm and wants nothing but to cuddle and know nothing about social distance, and the occasional attacks that don't line up with the models and their guns, as a few big ships with the large beam attacks can indeed target you even when you're on the complete opposite side of the ships, and Andross' hands themselves don't need to come up in order to spit a few rainbow rings of damage at you, much like you don't need to wait for them to come up in order to damage them.

Bolse:
Waaaaaay too many flights of fighters spawns right on top of you, often requiring abandoning the station to take shelter from Great Fox's Flaks, or spam barrel roll and slowly take them all out in a 5-yard-furball with charged lasers and spend about.... 2ish minutes to earn about half a minute of space and breathing room to recognize where you are, where the station is, and where the targets on the station is.

Venmom, post-scripted-event: Spoiler's ship is invulnerable from gun spots to stern, but he's quite happy to immediately kill you regardless of distance until he finally leaves.... Not quite certain how or why, but having to immediately gun AWAY from him and then wait to come back after he leaves isn't my idea of having a good time.

Andross himself:
Well, I've already spoken about his hands being funny. His eyeballs are invulnerable so I'm not certain if thats the feature or bug since I remember shooting them out to have a bit of breathing space in N64. Speaking of Andross' attacks, was it intentional that all his attacks are Shield-Penetrating? Because with both Phoenix and Arwing 2, I kept losing more hull than I ever saw my shield bar hit 0 and thus die because of it despite my shields being half full or full...

Final Andross Form:
(Smacks lips) olordy. His big beam of death attack has serious aimbot issues, because I could run circles around him, using charged laser blasts on the targets, aaaand nonna that is gonna matter because I'm seemingly doomed to always die within 1 or maybe 2 beams depending on how long the fight goes on, aaand no amount of barrel rolling or hiding behind things is gonna save me. IDK if that's scripted for punishing people for taking too long or having positioned themselves and Andross in an incorrect way, but uh... Yeah...

And alla that was on labeled "Easy" as I was still getting a feel for both Freespace 2 and the mod.

Still love this mod, can't wait for future releases.

In terms of balance, that's a pretty good guess. I'd probably add on that theres an increasing chance of missing with each type of ships.

It is mostly influenced by the conglomeration that is the Covenant, given how its a mix of multiple aliens and cultures.

As much as the Vong would be in an advantageous position, I think that the Sins factions already had a taste of what happens when they decide that one threat is greater than each other. And if something comes along and starts presenting themselves as great of a threat, they're more likely to stop, say "ok you're the biggest problem here" and kill off the threat before going back to their personal wars.

Though thats a pretty significant "if" should they find the Vong a difficult problem.

wait why is this an Application file?

Hey why does the downloaded files happen to be Application files rather than zip?

Hol' up why's it an application file?

*nudge*

*Nudge*

Sounds interdasting

Any new updates?

Is a bit slow and short, but I like it

Coming back to see this now, the whole end result of the wars happening in that galaxy ended up being more broken than China's historical cycle of breaking up and gluing itself back together.

Pretty.

Oooo shiny.

*for a skilled commander

idk that seems more flowing than "that a skilled commander"

Good read. pretty much summarizes the mod community.

12 years, damn.

Update already?

OK, update after an hour of bullshittery with Steam (running as admin and forcing retrieval of a missing file) I got the minimods to kinda work after forcefully adding in addons via the EnabledMods.txt file.

Well first off, I'm blind about the addons.
Did a series of verifying, reverifying, and did some reinstalling.
While my game did have a missing file, and loaded the mod itself, I still can't load addons.

Also I seem to be having problems with some of your addons.
Previously, those addons did load in correctly, even for Rebellion, however now those same addons don't seem to work or load at all and when I try to force any of them to load, the game itself crashes and complains about verifying files (which I did the first time)
Then again, when I came here to see if redownloading worked, the addons either were removed or changed to only fit Entrenchment.

Did you eventually *Locke* up the Flood and throw away the *Keyes*?

Is there gon be another update?

Liiiiiitle eerie about .exe files. I'd rather download .GALAXY files, as they're the more sure-fire way of getting downloads.

This is making my antivirus act up. That normal or there something we don't know?

O 'scuse me, I've been occupied by a most demanding task called "sleeping while waiting for the update"

BUT NOW I'M AWAKE

Yaaaay
