Updates will be coming here from me and others as well, and a bunch of screenshots also if I get around to paste them in here in a bit.

To start with something eyecandy-ish, here is a little something that I've put together for our one year anniversary. Please note that some of these are not actual missions, sometimes I've resorted to a bunch of ships duking it out in mission files set up solely for this video. In other words, you won't see 6 cruisers mashed upon each other with no coherence, this is no SGWP2.
With nothing more to say, here is our anniversary teaser (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u85ILgewUV4).

Let's begin with a bit too hectic dogfight and a reference to one of the best FSO campaigns.

Yeah, that discussion bit is censored for now.

Here are the rest of the pictures I currently have that I've found good enough to share:

I REALLY like this background :yes:
-
The images look like either the graphics were turned down or the graphics from FSO and FSP aren't being used. I still like the screen shots, very nice.
-
Way too many people use the Federal pack without reskinning.
And you don't even have an excuse for why it should look different from the canon ships!

Just taking a peek at it should explain why.

True, but the last time somebody put out a mod that felt like it had any real continuity of Terran designs was INR1.

I believe most post-FS2 mods are as close to FS2 as FS2 was to FS1. The factor is largely irrelevant anyway; models are not a particular determinant of mod quality.

Remember that there are going to be four different factions in this mod.
Wouldn't it be a bit odd if all four use the same ship designs?

Back in a bit I've posted polls regarding the use of FFPack ships. I went with the community's opinion - the voters had no problem with it.
That might form though.
If the quality of the pictures are not the best, that is the fault of my computer and I am sorry for any inconvenience that causes.

Just please for God's sake get the optimized Lancer and Jackal from War in Heaven.
-
That I'll be glad to do. Some of the models might probably go obsolete after the tech revamp anyway.

We'll try to get you as many more optimized Steve-O ships as we can, if we get anything done well before the next WiH release.

Hey that's a damocles! That's TVWP you can't use it i'm gunna sue you in England! :lol: ROFL just kidding. Project sounds quite interesting, and those backgrounds are beautiful (especially the planet). Yeah it sounds vaguely similar to TVWP but when trying to to tell a story set in the same sort of period its quite hard not to. I reckon it'll end up being completley different anyhow, and its good to see another take on things. All the best, look forward to playing it when its out. :yes:

I've always figured once the model has been used in a released campaign, you're smart enough to realize you don't have rights to more than credit anymore. :P

Federal ships right next to FSPort/TVWP pre-FS1 ships... Trippy...

Tremble... we might be implementing the Vampire as well. :mad2:

Derp.
You're saying that like its a good thing? D:
-

You could actually make that work. The Federal ships are the last generation of fightercraft similar to modern designs. They shifted over to space-dedicated and more durable designs as the war went on because they were cheaper and easier to keep in action.
-
The Jackal (Kent) doesn't really seem to be similar to modern designs. I can't see it being 'less advanced' than, say, the Valkyrie.
-
It does, however, have the thin-winged fragile look. :P
-
Well, oh well, who could be coming? Unwanted visitors...?

Is that Mars?

Unless the security cameras are hacked, yes. ;)
If I remember correctly, that is the venus.dds though...

That's why the pic was strange, then. :)

Wait, it's at Mars but Venus but Mars is Venus and wait what

To make it simple, someone else made the picture and I never made the connection that the planet on the picture is not Mars but Venus. Nothing major, just a mistitling.
-
How do you get that interference effect, by the way?
-
at a guess its a screen grab with a gimp/psp/ps snow/interference filter over the top

That's a pretty major error...

I think you could do it in-game with postprocessing now, though. Maybe not quite that well.

No it is not. I just uploaded a picture that I have received. But even if you consider it so, I can assure you that in the mod, we don't exchange the planets.

So you just launch the rockets they give you, to hell with what they're loaded with? :P
Come on man, you could at least own up to the fact you didn't give it a cursory glance.

Problem is, I did... :D It never friggin occured to me. :D It was such a long time ago that I've actually seen the mars.dds ingame, I totally forgot how it looked like.

You don't know what Mars looks like? I have to point out that--

Right now I could obviously tell the difference, but I haven't even considered it not being the correct one. My brain went offline and I went with assumptions straight away. There was no 'duuuuh, I guess that is Mars' but more like 'the subtitle says Mars, so my brain does not have to check if it is correct or not'.

Alpha 1 is Centauri!

Since we are doing a total tech revamp, I have no screenies to post right now (unless if I'd decide to post my top secret little something :nervous:), unless I can find that final one lurking on my hard drive. Will be attempting that tomorrow. :)

Okay, the current update is that I will be making an update. We're progressing smoothly and our member list increased a lot.
-
Ship tabling finally done!
-
Was it any difficult? How many ships did you have to add?
-
ShadowWolf is the one who can answer this to you, I am merely that guy who lead the project and failed to get people craft working tables for him since ~1,5 years. So I am mightily relieved that we finally have an errorless build and can start FREDding. :)
-
Yes, the trailer was supposed to come out yesterday but I am ill. It will hopefully be out today or tomorrow, but here is last year's one as a nostalgic memory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pezc42eUpL4
-
Updates soon to come. Pinky swear.
-
Hey! Good news everyone! My computer isn't working... again!
Updates delayed... especially the trailer due to recording lag.
-
To answer your question there was a metric buttload (read as many) ships to be added. There was also the fact that since this is pre FS1, there were also a great many weapons to add. They have ships, they have weapons, they have fredders, and they can now fred missions.
-
Expect some nice little screenies when I can make my new computer obey my wishes.
-
Act I will be released no later than April 20th
-
Cool

April 20th? That's exactly one month. Looking forward to it! :yes:

Hello HLP and forumers!,
Thank you again for stopping by, here in the Syrk WIP forum.
We here at Syrk, have been working very hard over the past few weeks, and are pleased with our progress, we hope you will be too! (when we show you the goodies that is).
I would like to put out a thanks to each member, for the fabulous work I have seen so far. From FREDding to graphics, tables to leadership, congradulations!.
In the near future, we will (hopefully) put up a few more teaser pictures, as this is not my area of expertise, I cannot give a specific date or any detail of the possible content.
From here, barely another 20 days until April 20. This is the home strech for ACT I, Syrk.
Set that countdown!
