new video posted, so it begins!
SoA2Team
Yes it is getting ridiculous that everyone and thier mother is requesting to join the beta. Despite us saying we dont need testers a post or two above them. We know the real reason they want to join is so they can get thier hands on an early release of the mod. They do not know that beta testing SoA 2 is not as it seems, and can be a major pain in the @$$. The main topic has been edited.
The borg are now fully playable ! please read the change log on sync -- Loki JTAYLORPCS -- i dont know you will have to ask shimmer or stress
BETA TESTERS: New movement is in i need a test and post of findings please ASAP! -Shimmer
[quote who="FearlessDefiance" reply="21" id="2218534"]One more quick question, is there any plans on giving cap ships abilities? Thanks[/quote] Yes. Much of the Elites ability's are still in planning, or are in work. Major Stress uploaded a video demonstraiting the new dynamic movement of SoA2 find it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BArQFkRsSp0 Main topic also u
[quote who="QuicktoDraw" reply="20" id="2211543"]I am glad to see that you guys got the Excelsior icon to work, and it's kinda cool to see it work, but I can understand what Dragoon meant by it having the planet bombardment as too powerful. Also, great job on the turrets (though you have all the Klingon turret research mispelled as turrent), but I noticed that the skinning on the Federation turret is really shiny. Is it supposed to be that way, or are you still perfecting the
why would i want to ruin all the fun with pictures, videos, etc....?
[quote who="Mooster" reply="10" id="2209343"] Quoting SoA2Team, reply 8we are working on it mooster, right now the priority has switched to model imports and research trees, if we are unable to get to it now it will be removed and worked on later. Better to get the basics up and running prior to anything else wouldn't you agree? sure....[/quote] its too bad your not on the beta team, now you can't test the other turrent thats in and o wait upgrades to it

[quote who="QuicktoDraw" reply="15" id="2208010"] Quoting sc456a, reply 13 Oh, and the Cube is insanely difficult to defeat - probably unbeatable without a maxed out fleet. Actually, I think that it's impossible to beat (I used a full fleet with all Capitals maxed out and ony the largest of Cruiser class vessels, and I still couldn't get it past the 7/8 hit point mark), since I never did defeat it, but I think they designed it that way
[quote who="Destraex" reply="14" id="2207994"]really looking forward to this one still. Been checking in on it every so often. Even though I understand the who do not rush thing. The opposite extreme is getting in the "comfortable beta" thing. Where the mod never gets released... not hastling, just trying to make sure I get a go sometime of this amazing mod guys are producing!! in anticipation Dest[/quote] <span style="c
[quote who="dknippe2" reply="12" id="2207844"]Actually, I really like Mooster's idea of posting testing videos. I've been following this mod practically since its inception, and I would love to see what some of the new progress looks like. As long as it doesn't interfere with what you guys are doing, or is against anyone's wishes of course.[/quote] be patient its coming, movement is being finalized and models replaced. Stress is
[quote who="Mooster" reply="7" id="2206156"]I can probably hear what the mod team is already saying. "We have all the ships that we need"[/quote] First i'd like to say, your an idiot, second thing i have to say, your a beta tester for the team, third thing i'd like to say, i'll actually consider than one, i've been looking for other alternative becuase i hate the shelly class, looks like something out of a federation junkyard, forth and last, since you ca
Mooster your a tester not a modder on this team please act accordingly. Dragoon, post everything if possible
[quote who="xhenia" reply="15" id="2194250"]it woud be cool if you coud make speacis 8472 with just one ship for fun and make the the race unceletebul, but i'm not a modder so i dont know how long that woud take.[/quote] Ummm... No. We have enough balance issues with the Borg without adding in another "uber" race that should have never existed (thanks berman and braga).
[quote who="QuicktoDraw" reply="19" id="2186878"] Quoting SoA2Team, reply 13 weekly is fine, gives people time to test new updates We are also still giving our findings to Dragoon, right (I know I should have asked this in my other thread, sorry)?[/quote] no post them here for all to see btw movement is alm
[quote who="QuicktoDraw" reply="11" id="2183631"] Quoting SoA2Team, reply 8Beta testers, you are required to give feedback on the mod on a regular basis. as of today failure to do so will result in removal of the beta team. When you say regularly, is weekly an ok thing, or do you want a day by day replay?[/quote] weekly is fine, gives people time to test new updates

[quote who="Mooster" reply="17" id="2135960"]I have been testing the ships that work currently, it seems that that we can't level the ships past 1 right now, why is that? [/quote] i haven't experienced that issue.
Sorry guys for my absence, i'm closing up some issues that need to be taken care of and work isn't helpping, especially working 55+ hours a week. I recently heard back from stress he will not be around for awhile. First to address a few things, the pace of mod is working alot slower than i had hoped. That will change soon. Real soon. I would like to have the first entrenchment release in about two weeks. Hopefully the
In a previous beta version (before the switch to Entrenchment) we did have the federation with their own research. I'm sure that will be added back in when we get around to it.
I'm not sure how long it will be. I can say it will most likely take longer than a few days lol. Yes, Major Stress is on the road atm and he has all the work for the structures so if we do release a demo before he's back it will most likely not contain trek structures. We have been progressing but we also need to update the mod so it works in Entrenchment 1.02, we still have some balancing to work on, and a few other things that need to be smoothed out. As soon as an update is
[quote who="Mooster" reply="4" id="2107892"] well, there goes a planet for sure, unless the planet they are attack have ships in them.....................and ship yard...maybe even a fleet... perhaps when using borg raids, I suggest a single cube or sphere at most cause one is hard enough to kill, and if you are going to send a swarm please do send weaker ones.........[/quote] What do you mean? The borg will now be a fully playable and unique faction. The composition o
The original post has been updated to hopefully clear up any misunderstanding, the BoPs were mentioned using the fighter style movement because they looked so awesome using it, but all ships except the larger borg vessels do use it. It is still being refined, but is in use. We do need to work on some balancing issues that arose from implementing it, such as the Galaxy now being able to outshoot a Sovereign one on one, due to the Galaxy doing more damage per pass because it has more ph
Darkshimmer and Stress are still in charge, and they are both in contact with each other "just letting you all know i am still alive, and my interest in SoA2 has not faded. Darkshimmer is doing an excellent job of holding the fort during my absense. I have yet to see the new updates Darkshimmer added being as i am on the road for work, and have no computer of my own to use during this trip. Hopefully that will change soon. I trust Shimmers judgement with
