Just to stir up some inflamatory (I'm MoW in disguisse
) discussion:
I do not like the current state of Babylon5 mod.
The proprietor of Bab5 mod - Val, stated that his policy is to keep Bab5 to pre-Gold and once it is more or less "fixed", upgrade to Gold. It is several months since Gold has been released and judging from immense influxe of people in Last few months and some polls on this forum, Gold is more or less a "standard" SE for most of us. Now, imagine the frustration of a new Shrapnel' customer who is so exited about this new toy but suddenly is put down by a string of silly errors... If Bab5 Mod was a commertial product, all marketing people shall be sucked... the people responsible for sucking has been sucked... no South African lamas has been injured...
Anyway, look on any other mod - TDM, P&N, Proportions, Devnul - all new Versions are based on latest SE patch (1.78). It is time to draw the line and fully focus on latest SE Gold patch
It is easy for experienced player to convert pre-Gold Bab5 to Gold Version, but what is the point ?
Gold SE gives so much more versatality in modding that clenching to 1.49 has no sense whatsoever. Drones are one example, but look at all new mods based on just new mount abilities ! Not to mention that emiisive armor in 1.49 and 1.78 are two different beasts. Same goes for engine destroying weapons or new types of damage (1/4 to shields, 2 to shields). Really, lets move on and make decent 1.78 upgrade that will not make new players to pull hair in despair !
