Nyxvana is finished, uploaded to FSU SVN and undergoing final testing stage. I was not sure if I can finish her before release of next MediaVPs, but at this point I can confirm that she will be part of next revision.

Huh... 3 brand-new HTL destoyers. Can't remember if anything like that ever happened for a single MVPs revision.

See you after release of MVPs 4.3.0 :]

I have no idea how you're able to do it, but it's appreciated all the same.

 
It’s not just 3 destroyers; it’s the last three, including two that really languished for a long time. It’s a remarkable pace!

As someone who sporadically updates their mvps, and I mean 4 years at a time at the soonest,  (because life gets in the way and stuff) what are the recommended specs for FSO/FSU now?
Campaigns I've added my distinctiveness to-
- Blue Planet: Battle Captains
-Battle of Neptune
-Between the Ashes 2
-Blue planet: Age of Aquarius
-FOTG?
-Inferno R1
-Ribos: The aftermath / -Retreat from Deneb
-Sol: A History
-TBP EACW teaser
-Earth Brakiri war
-TBP Fortune Hunters (I think?)
-TBP Relic
-Trancsend (Possibly?)
-Uncharted Territory
-Vassagos Dirge
-War Machine
(Others lost to the mists of time and no discernible audit trail)

At a guess, I would say that the recommended requirements for FSU are now something like this:
* CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k or better
* RAM: 8 GB or more
* GPU: Needs OpenGL 4 support and 4 to 6 GB of VRAM

Is there any particular reason for this flurry of activity? I know modding work never really stops, but still it's nice to see.

Almost no activity at all about a year ago. Only Axem tossing single ship once per couple months... So I joined the endeavour.

Everyone being stuck inside for a few months certainly didn't hurt matters.

 
I return here every few months to see what's up. And whenever there's new leaps forward I do what I can to plug FS2 Open on the other game boards I visit. Can confirm FS2 is still well loved, and played if that motivates everyone.

Well can I just say a huge thank you?

I've had a HUGE hiatus from FreeSpace but always kept a soft spot for it and thought I'd 'look in' recently after a conversation with someone on another forum about efforts to upgrade X-Wing Alliance - it got me thinking.

The game was looking great a few years back, the Upgrade Project / Media VPs all looking great. I've spent the last couple of days getting my head around Knossos (super handy as I've all but forgotten how to manually update VPs) and am totally blown away by the quality and extent of the games modding community as it stands now.

You guys have talents I'll never know and I love that you're keeping things rolling even now. It's brilliant :D

 
My god, it's the founder!

Hi <3



Edit: Posted and felt bad. *A* founder - not *the* founder. I sure as hell had help and there's sure as hell been folks keeping all this going from both a technical and admin POV!

You are... Were Kalfireth, right? Welcome to NyctiShipyards, sir :]. We're honored to host you onboard. Feel free to have a walk around. Just watch out for drunk, slav engineers. They like to sleep everywhere.
