The 0.5 version of your mod is already out, right??Syklon wrote:not to rob any of the glory from the great modders over at XFP, but Xtended .6 (also coming next few days ) is going to be mindblowingly-awesome
we still havent fully disclosed all of our featurelist, but what i can tell you about:
lots of new ships, all x-uninverse, balanced, used by the AI, all amazing (better than ES by quite a margin) quality, with new turrets, animated guns, visible exhaust trails behind our ships and standard ES fighters (m3/4/5)
new ships will be filling in the new classes, the entire frigate m7 class is still there from previous releases, joining them will be the military m6s, which are slightly better m6s meant to help fill the m6-7 gap, m8 class for special op frigates, atm currently announced are an argon drone frigate, a split light carrier, and paranid missile frigate (featureing the new heavy missile gun), not mention ships being added to old classes, besides the entire Terran race getting filled out much better w/ mulitple new ships there will also be a new race taken out of x-universe lore which we havent revealed yet
then of course there are the non-ship features, which affect evey aspect fo the game, whether you are in an Xtended ship or not, and make everything so much cooler (esp. combat ):
New visible missile trails, several types for the differant kinds of missiles
Engine and exhaust trails for XTM and some ES ships
New impact and launch effects for some weapons
Certain rebalances to weapons that, while maintaining their previous balance, provide a significant boost in fps (one of our testers had a 10-15 fps increase while fighting the final battle from the plot)
and i'm sure ive still forgotten lots of features, but you get the idea
So, you will be releasing the 0.6 soon, hopefully in 2 days, am i right?
Man its hard to wait!
DECISIONS; DECISIONS, now should i rather go with the XFP or Xtension,,,???
Well, Syklon has given a pretty good explanation of the diffrences between the two mods, so its gonna help!!
Patience, patience patience......................................
