1. Don't give release dates if you can't meet your own deadlines. It gets annoying when you don't make it to your own set release dates, and that can really harm your mod's quality. And makes the team seem unprofessional.

Defineately. It's better to go simple way and say "when it's done"

Not necessaraly. You can say that nicely and not like... him...

But if you give release dates, it annoys the public, makes the team look unprofessional, and, if the team hurries to release it by their set release date, possibly reduces quality. If that wasn't true, then ASW would have set a release date already.

I wanted to say that but... But as Diaspora member I shuldn't
And as ShadoGorrath said, there're polite ways to say that.

I have good news, better news, and epic news.

The good news: I've been named TotT's PR director, for lack of anything better to do other than minor screenshot edits for some minor interface stuff...  whoops...

The better news: I've decided to melt your eyes with screenshots.

The epic news: Here's the first one.

RIDE THAT BAD BOY!

Anyway, I'm getting a bit frustrated that it's taking us this long just to release a 3 mission demo.  Can we please just get it out already?

[Titan]

Well... I still need to do that one B******* S*****, then... uhm... frankly, I have no bloody idea what the holdup is. To be honest, people, i think its been done for a while, we just keep having to make minor adjustments.

And sorry about that. I was really excited, but didn't actually HAVE a picture.



EDIT: I give you:

Scatter
A Triton-class freighter flees from a node, as fighters swoop in. What could this mean?

Original picture from Jadehawk (i think, my brain is still reeling), blur, softglow, and several other simple effects added by me.

Heh, nice. You're pretty good with these "minor screenshot edits"

[Titan]

I like how the small changes made it. It looks like a still from a movie or something...

Well, who isn't... but until I'll be done with the semester (in otherr words- until WED when I have my last exam), we'll be leadership impaired.

And as long as there are these surprizes such as the current one with weapons disappearing from a mission loadout in the most current release candidate, I can't give a green light.

[BengalTiger]

Small announcement to the team:

Release candidate 4 (all 40 MB of it) is up for inspection.

[shiv]

But we want announcement for all that Final version is ready

[BengalTiger]

We'll announce that when a candidate passes final inspection- or is playtested by at least 2-3 members who don't find bugs.

I'll be the first one to say I didn't find bugs, now one or 2 more opinions needed.

Oh yeah- Shiv, you be the honorable tester 

[shiv]

Ooooh...!
*Me goes to FSmods.net and downloads RC4!! *

[Jadehawk]

Downloaded and testing now...

[shiv]

I played... tested... And I see no bugs...

[blowfish]

I do ... like the fact that the 3.6.10 shivan secondaries aren't used anymore, the nameplates from RC3 have disappeared from the mission files, and the loading screens aren't even NAMED correctly in the missions

[Mobius]

I do ... like the fact that the 3.6.10 shivan secondaries aren't used anymore,

What, what, what?!?
