Hey All!!!
I have some good news, I just sent Rambie the newest Mod files and all of the 'unfinished races' I have, and he is going to set them up on his site, so hopefully we will have a decent home for the mod
I'm also close to completing the Technomages and Vree shipsets along with AI for the Lorkans (and other Nomadic races). Facility build times have been reduced by a third to make the game a little quicker. I'm working on terraformers and the race specific facilities - trying to balance them. The Abbai have a speech file now and will be joining the Neutrals, maybe with a few of the other unfinished races as a temporary home. Looks like the Grome are doing ok
There is a lot of other stuff that I am working on (now that I have time again) and I would like to get an idea of how many people are interested in starting up either a PBW or PBEM test run of the latest Version, to really work out some of the balance issues. So far a group of 4 of us have been doing a small scale test that has helped to point out some issues.
Speaking of issues - I would like to collect a 'definitive list' of know issues and things people want to see or see changed. Anyone who is interested, please post with any/all issues you have had and the Version you are using, also post any suggestions for what you would like to see added/reworked.
Finally, if your name appears in the credits (or if it should and doesn't yet - even if you're a tester and not a writer) please send an e*mail to
b5mod@yahoo.com with a mailing address, I have a gift for y'all as a thank you for the work you've done - I've already sent 4 out - including one to the UK - and I'd like to get the rest out ASAP.
Later!
