Hey the space maps and mos entha and endor are pretty dark on my comp. I tried increasing the brightness with my video card's settings but it appears 2142 has its own seperate brightness level.

Currently I'm running pretty much on low.

Awesome work guys, thank you.

absolutely love the mod guys, great work for a first beta release, the space flight is in a class of its own. i would have to ask though, is there a way to bind the turbo/boost for the space fighters to another key other than left shift?

as it is, no matter what you bind for sprint, turbo or boost for every vehicle or common control it still wants to use left shift for the turbo on space vehicles. i tried changing it but to no avail, its seems to be hardwired to left shift even if no controls in your entire config are associated with left shift it still wants to use left shift for turbo, same with speeders too.

im definitely not nit picking as i am a starwars freak and am loving the mod but from what ive noticed the biggest loss of players is when a map switches, it really hangs, hangs so long most players disconnect in fear that the server has crashed.

just a few things i thought worth mentioning because its near impossible to keep a server full if you decide to rotate maps with the crashes and hangs. i love the mod, just wanted to give a few first impressions and encourage you to keep up the awesome work because it truly is the most fun I've ever had with 2142.

After a little more playing, I have some suggestions which might be helpful.

1. Please put class icons next to my team's names on the scoreboard, I find this helps with having a balanced squad, instead of having, say, all medics. (I admit I have no idea what the icons would look like )

2. In the customize screen, you might want to put the item icons (even though you don't have to choose), just for the fact that you could put short explanations of them.

3. Maybe increase pistol rate of fire? Not too much, but a little would be nice.

4. Not sure if it's just me, but the taunts seem really soft in volume.

5. Finally, smoke grenades seem to not work in mos espa........also more smoke might be nice, though performance might suffer.

Also, is melee not insta-kill anymore?

Edit: Forget the pistol buff, I think you designed pistols more for accuracy weapons instead of spammers like in 2142?

i keep getting this error when trying to start FS. Vanilla 2142 works just fine

Space battles are great! Had more fun than I've had in a while. Very impressive. Its feels like I should have payed money for it.

Reminds me of the flight-battle/Sim "The Empire Strikes Back" released in the early 90's for PC(although not as morbidly technical).

Maps are very impressive. Star Destroyer map is impeccable.

Also getting the ramdom CTD.
Had a one on the star destroyer map after 4 rounds; right as the last round was over. Didn't even go to the "next map" loading screen.

Two on the map with the trees(speeder)--was already said to have this problem. Sorry, I can't remember when the crashes occured.


Thank You for everyone who put their time and effort into this great project.

I can even get it to load up. :/

I have a problem that I don't think has been reported. I installed First Strike, and after playing FS for awhile, I turned it off and started BF 2142. After starting BF 2142, I choose a buddy to play with from the buddy list and BF 2142 turns off and First Strike starts up.

I can no longer choose a buddy from the buddy list to play with in BF because it automatically starts up First Strike instead. How can I fix this, or is this a coding error that has to be fixed?
