Version 607 is a major release with many new Features and lots of fixes.
With this massive update to the Coop Mod, we are confident to have reached a state of stability and reliability that surpasses the Vanilla game.
With over 300 changes (again) it is kind of hard to pick only a few changes to be representative.
How ever, we think these few selected changes will give you a good overview of what has changed.
In the future we will focus on providing more Content, like the long awaited Enterprise-E from Gsio.
We would also like to add some Stargate stuff (we have sounds and models), but we really need mappers.

Special thanks to My Mom and MJ to report many issues.
Special thanks to MJ to suggest new Features (Deadbody, Airacceleration).
A good idea can be add more player models!!! (Andorians, the other H.T. members, etc)
We have limited the Player Model choice to the Hazard Team Members for certain reasons. One of them being that new people do not get confused by strange player skins and to avoid players without the mod having issues seeing players that do not have default skins.
