I'll be playing this tonight, and i can't wait!

AbblePC: Watch the new series. You have too. Give it 5 episodes, and you'll be hooked. It's an amazing show, that i love. I'm no sci-fi fan, i used to watch a bit of Star Trek but because of BSG, i simply can't watch Star Trek anymore... it's so... 90's.

Lex: Whats coming in the near future?

Re: Rise of Kobol v0.05 Released

Only a few suggestions as of yet.

Increase draw distance on vehicles. An enemy ship will be locked on to where you cant even technically see it the ship yet, just the engine fire or whatever its called.

Increase the view distance. Its an immersion killer to not be able to see passed 100m or whatever...in space..... This would be not much of a killer to the FPS or anything I wouldn't think seeing as there isn't a ton of objects to draw in a space map.

Anyway, it was great fun. Got some awsome squad play in. Had a squad of aobut 5 guys using Squad FTL when we attacked outposts. It was so succesful because nothing was up against our 5 ships just appearing there. No warning, you couldn't see us coming. This happened to me a few times while I wasn't in a squad. I would decide to defend an outpost...and all the sudden...boom...like 4 or 5 enemy ships appear out of no where and slaughter me. Hehe, great fun.

All space map. We will release this in a patch soon after 1.3 testing and compatibility. Check our forums. Or testers are putting together a night soon to film and major battle for our menu background using battlerecorder.

solodude23, I love the feed back on FTL squad use. I really racked my brain thinking of how to use this and what would work best. I'm glad people are getting used to it and becoming more of squads than in BF2.

We are fixing the LODS, but it shouln't lock on before you see it. I'll check on this.

I don't know about the lock on before you see it, but it practically seems like it at times. Just the fact that you see the engine fire or w/e and not the ship.

Re: Rise of Kobol v0.05 Released

where do you launch it from? No shortcut on my desktop...

Re: Rise of Kobol v0.05 Released

Look in the folder called desktop and place the shortcut inside on your desktop.

Besides that, I highly reccomend the Brickfield Mod launcher, at least if you are planning to get other mods.
