They have the multidocking caterpillar, or the SFr Iksura. Though it's a lot smaller than the Titus and Demeter freighters.

Let's see...
New staff modpack build
New Sol planet backgrounds
New Balistic primary effects
Upgraded EA maps
OGG test pack of all used soundtrack
GTI Arcas
Arcadia extension project
2 new Shivan cruiser models
Shinemap test pack since OGL spec lighting breaks without shine maps
Lots of table fixes and tweaks

New version of mission 3 using our new station

[mr.WHO]

I know that I'm asking for too much,but any chance for (1 mission) Demo ??

[Woomeister]

Doubt it. Since we run a standalone with our own files we'd have to release most of the core files to run a single mission without crashes, and creating a FS open compatible version would take even longer as I'd have to convert everything back again.

While transfering the latest updates to my laptop:

[T-Man]

Like 'em!

The Close up of the Carrier is cool, and the Aseascus is superb!

But what's happened to the Claymore MKII? It looks wierd in the first picture's target box.

[Woomeister]

That's because the one I have targeted is facing away, and there's an actual clymore underneath it facing towards that one.

[T-Man]

Oh yeah....Why the change of engine layout?

[Woomeister]

Because most people complained that they couldn't hit anything with it
Plus the old one would look out of place now. With the Mark I and III, and the other EA fighters...

True...

Hmm...clearly the EA have had one hell of a revamp.

A bit of one. They have a lot more fighters and bombers now than R1, as well as a full weapon set and capship fleet.

[Woomeister]

Most of that was done in the last week or two, that's a list of stuff done recently.

[T-Man]

How is the Inferno team these days? I hear you've had a influx of new members recently.

[Woomeister]

Haven't heard from some of the new members.

However some things are picking up pace, and with the staff pack released and just needing patching and updating I've started going over some missions personally. Hence the new shots of m4.

[Trivial Psychic]

I noticed the Gungnir in one of those shots.

[Woomeister]

Yeah I added those to make it harder.

[DaBrain]

I took another nice shot.

Maybe you'll notice some more new maps. (Which still need a bit of work...)




It's almost symbolic.

[Depth_Charge]

man that shivan destroyer...almost look like a mean ass bird of prey....... but very cool on  the back ground...

That looks neat. Lightspeed's nebulae are breathtaking when I played Desperation ch2;)and it looks cool when using environment mapping to have the ships reflect the colors of the nebulae.

You don't need environment mapping for that.  Just put a sun the color of the nebula in the same general location.

[Woomeister]

Ah good just one reall small map to go

DaBrain you might want to get the version of ttile04 that I fixed up to remove the tiling problem as I can still see the error in those pics.

[DaBrain]

Uhm, I think I'll do what you did. It's better to use the uncompressed map for this. Otherwise you'll have twice the compression artifacts.
