LOVE the explosions and the extra fighter/bomber wing in my TEC carriers. I haven't had much time to play it yet because I just got home from work. Liking what I see so far.

Ack, ye made me blush.

So far I've noticed the TEC Capital ship factory got a new look. TEC Bombers, and Advent Fighters/Bombers also. The Advent's strikecraft don't look so much like chrome drones anymore. I have two screenshots in the "It's Thursday" thread.

But yeah, I like the new explosions, sort of like a burning fireball

But honestly, what gives with you guys releasing such a huge patch with almost no bugs? I mean, the only two actual meaningful bugs found so far is the strikecraft not scuttling properly and the artifact thing. Stop coding so well

Well, better AI is always a good thing!
Though if the AI is no longer running rather than defending their homeworld, what the hell am I supposed to do with them interdictor cruisers!

As for explosions, after a careful, critical look I must say, that in all fairness, my explosions are hot damn beautiful. I wanna hug them until I burn my eyebrows off, that's how good they are.



Hyah. I've been up all night wrapping up the teaser video.

Does it show?

Anyway, about mod breakage, that's not a bug, that's a feature. Otherwise our lives would be too dull.
Though I would be very interested why were specular and team color maps switched? I assume there was some rendering reason, that's why I also assumed the rendering engine would get a noticeable visual upgrade... so anyone noticed it? Not that the original engine is not good - hell, its one of the more robust ones I've seen since Half-Life 2, just curious.
