How about Fileplanet? Will you not be updating your version on that website? Thurmonator

Can´t wait... Are you going to upload it to Fileplanet or just LR??? Tiadvance, Thurmonator

HAven´t forgotten FL yet, MD. Tried X2 but really couldn´t get into it. It could have been great. Anyways, here I am again , waiting for yet another release of your awesome mod. As soon as it comes, I´m putting Morrowind up for a while.

Congrats on moving...was there last October. Looking forward to "3.20 final"...does that mean you´ve reached an end point Michael? I have to admit to buying X2 and playing it, but I am starting to miss FL. X2 is cool and all, and more complex, but there just seems to be something missing in the game, some kind of Ummph. Maybe I just haven´t played it enough yet. FL kinda has that with all the masonic/illuminati symbolism in the game - gives it more of a realistic flare - being of course that Freemasonry is the largest fraternal order on this planet. Anyways...

So you know, as far as I know, this is a DEAD project. .The only star Wars themed mod is FreeWorlds. But I think Rebalance is the best and it incorporates a lot of star wars ships. It´s just not " all " star wars. I thought this thread dead.

My thoughts regarding cluster missiles is that they make the SP game WAY too easy. I breezed through EVERY battle, including the last ones, and that wasn´t even fully decked with Clusters. I actually sold some of my clusters when I realized that I was blowing up the enemy and his loot in one shot. No challenge on 3.12 with level 2 difficulty However, I haven´t run 3.20 through SP , so I haven´t tried it with the new AI using nanos and shields, nor have I tried it on level 3, only level 2. Clusters are the new uber weapon for SP play.

I don´t know if anyone has pointed out the APS Starviper CTD in regards to the first two weapons in slots 1 and 2. There is no info or name, only the locked clasps of installed goodness. If you try to remove them , it crashes. Anyway, X2 is out very soon. I have to admit I´m very excited about this one from the rolling demo that was released months ago. It´ll be hard to dethrone Rebalance for my space-sim thrills. Off -topic - for an amazing head-trip reality plunge into the secret world, there is something amazing happening right now, as in the last couple of weeks... origins of all http://scorpius.spaceports.com/~bemused/index12.html

Yeah, I used to o things, write things, just to piss reynen off just cause he´s such a prick. He´s a right ****er, he is , as might brit friend would say. Maybe he´ll learn, and that wasn´t the only thing that bugged me about TNG, but it was a major item of disappointment. If I had only heard about the mod without seeing the tirades of the maker, I´d probably really dig it. So when´s 3.2 coming out again?

MD, Have you tried the Graphic and Sound mod? I haven´t yet but I wandered about anyone´s impressions about it since I can´t run them both at the same time. Looking forward to 3.2.

Hey MD et al, I´ve been moving into my new house over the past few weeks, so I haven´t played much FL lately. But I just finished downloading 3.12 and plan on getting into it tonight. Not to be exact, but when are you thinknig about releasing 3.2? Days, weeks, or months away? Thanks for your continued work. It seems like there are a lot of individual mods for FL now, but not very many overarching mods, like Rebalance, out there. I really appreciate you going through the new mods and picking out the best stuff to go into Rebalance. I can´t wait to play tonight. BTW, to any interested parties who may want to get into game development, I am working on a design document for a game idea that is revolutionary, and I could use some help in fleshing out some concepts and ideas. It is in the strategy/simulation genre. Nobody has ever done a game like this, and it NEEDS to be made. I don´t know why someone hasn´t already made one like it - maybe because the dumb-as publishers need a clue, but anyway... if interested...email me at christhurmond@yahoo.com Don´t expect me to spill my guts right away as to all the details, but I realize that it needs to be a team effort if this idea is to be realized. BTW, I know that everyone and their brother has an idea of some sort, BUT...not this one. Thurmonator PS - sorry I´m using this board to recruit, but I really don´t participate in any others at this time - and the peeps here seem to have good brains attached to their feet.

Wow! Just saw the homeworld ships on the main page...3.12??? _______________ What do you know

I am a little confused about the new ´Blocks´. For instance the Twin-Trubo Heavy Block is used as an engine on the Anubis, but al the other blocks are used as power sources. And how do the blocks and engines effect thrusting since they both have stats associated with thrusting. Do they add together? Do the old power plants alos have stats that affect thrusting and are just hidden, or is it only the ´blocks´ that augment the thrusting capability? So help understanding this would help. PS What ship has the most fighter shield mod spaces? I´ve only seen up to three I think, maybe four. Are there three new systems you can get to from Dublin, or am I missing any? ANd do they only have one planet apiece? Thurmonator _______________ What do you know

Speaking of which, there sure is a lot of illuminati symbology and other mystical themes throughout FL. I haven´t seen this much in a game since Deux Ex. _______________ What do you know

It´s gotta be shared bandwidth, and there are a LOT of cool downloads out right now, cool demos, and new mod versions, etc. And not many places to get them. I remember the good ole days when downlad links and sites were plentiful and every publisher/developer would put files directly on their sites. Oh well, towards a new world odor. _______________ What do you know

Sorry ´bout the off-topic. It´s just that my wife won´t listen to my video card experiences and travails. I had to spill it to somebody, and well I guess I´m too lazy to register at one of those hardware only forums. In E we, Rebalance is great. Southhampton Shipyards...are there supposed to be ships for sale there? The icon shows but it doen´t do anything. My no cuts didn´t work either. I guess I´ll try that fix. Seems like more and more cool new stuff just keeps coming out for FL. I hope you stay active MD. _______________ What do you know

Glad to hear about a new version with some great ideas it sounds like. Thanks for the compliments, but actually my rig is kinda old...here are the real specs. AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.2 ghz Socket A Abit KT-7A RAID ATI 9800 Pro 128mb (Formally my trusty ole GeForce3 Ti500 - got it the bargain bin at Babbages for $25 about 6 months ago!!!)Had a regular GF3 anyway, which btw is for sale if anyone is interested - 50 bucks.) 384 mb PC133 SDRAM (3 x 128) 30gb Maxtor 7200rpm ATA133 HD 30gb IBM 7200rpm ATA133 HD SB Live! 5.1 CD-RW etc. yadda yadda yadda. Anyway, it gets smoked by the newer stuff. I had just last week ordered a new MB, CPU, RAM, and case, which was a ASUS P4P800 Deluxe, 2.4C P4, 512mb OCZ PC3200 , but my order got screwed up twice and so it never shipped. I was gonna put my Ti500 into it which would have probably fixed my framerate (lack of) problems in newer games and allowed me to run AA/AF, and it would have set me back 400 bones. Not too bad for HT and an 865PE motherboard with 800mhz front side bus. Mmmmm! Don´t get me wrong, I´m still gonna order it again some day , but... the day that the second order got screwed up, I was in Best Buy and saw a BFG GeForce 5900 Non ultra for $269 open box buy. I got it and played on it for about 4 days. The first thing I noticed was some graphical anomalies and texture corruption, so that sucked. Quite often actually. But not so much that I wanted to take it back right away. It did fix my framerate problem and I could play most of my games with everything maxed and 4xAA 8xAF. Sweet. I didn´t need no stinkin Ultra for $450. The 5900 was cool for a day, but ..... there was just something not quite right about the screen. It kinda pulsed like someone changing the brightenss control really fast, but subtle. So i typed in 5900 graphic glitches and saw the threads about the FLICKER problem with all 5900 reference boards made by nv. You notice it the most on bright whitish backgrounds, like the skys in Black Hawk Down, or in a flight sim. Its funny how on every thread about the 5900 flicker problem, there is a canned response letter from a PR guy with you know who saying how they know about the problem and anyone in the Bay area should bring in their rig so that they could see the problem in effect!!! They must be going blind over there! It also says that their competitor´s have the same problem. Bull****e! My ATI has ZERO flicker. Its solid as a rock! I´m so glad I could take back the GeForce. Sorry NVidia, you guys are suckin lately. And after todays news about HL2 and Gabe Newells press conference, where the 9800 Pro smokes the 5900 Ultra by 2x in real game tests, WOW!!! Even the 9600 Pro beats the GeForce 5900!! Basically he said that the buyers of HL2,who just bought 450 dollar cards and will not get acceptable framerates to play the game, will be pissed off, and Valve is smartly putting the blame where it rests. And the Geforce 5900 Ultra costs 100 bucks more than the ATI 9800 Pro. HA Thanks for taking the time to read my diatribe, but I just had to get it off my chest. I am a fan of great graphics and playable games, and was a fan of Nvidia because they gave me just that, a great gaming experience, until now. I hope they get their ****e together. But boy oh boy do I love my 9800 PRO - It RuLES. By the time it isn´t adequate for good gaming, the 64 bitters will have been out for a good while. And...er... Freelancer good. See, it wasn´t all about me and my soapbox. _______________ What do you know

Been Playin´ MD, and having fun. Got a new vid card, 9800 Pro, and now it´s super. 1600x1200 with 4xaa and 16xaf and smooth as silk. And thats on a t-Bird 1.2 ghz rig. No need to get that new P4 2.8C now or the 800mhz FSB, or the new PC3200 RAM. Who needs that crap when you got a 9800 Pro under the hood. Makes my GF3Ti500 look crappily slow. Now, I´ll just wait for the Opterons and Itaniums to come out and go down in price. I had just bought a BFG 5900nu, but man, it flickered like you wouldn´t believe. Like it was at 60hz instead of 85. I think all nv 5900´s flicker . Sucks for them and their stock price. My 3dmark2001 with the ole GF3Ti500 was 6090. My 3dmark2001 with the now returned 5900nu was 6900. My 3dmark2001 with the ATI 9800 Pro 128 was ....................9050. Go figure. I love ATI. PS. I almost took the ATI back because of Graphical glitches in all my games, but found out that you have to turn off AGP Fast Writes for the card to work right, and oh does it ever. It is my first ATI card and I LOVE it. PPS about the mod, well, it´s cool too. PPPS I best FL will sound cool on the new Audigy 2 ZS with THX 7.1 speakers. _______________ What do you know

Dude, I see two to three mods a day put up on this site, none of which I want to play because I want to play Rebalance. Please post the file somewhere else, temporarily if anything. At least do it for the diehard fanmen out there. You have an offer for a host if you can´t find one. Impatient I are. _______________ What do you know

I wish they would put your file on their site, already. Thanks MD. I´m waiting with baited breath. I felt like I should say this once...well deserved KUDOS to Microsoft and Digital Anvil for releasing a virtually bug - free game. I mean what, only one server side patch, which is pretty unneccesary AFAIK. That is amazing. Truly. I wish every developer had the same level of QA/QC ontheir releases. Most games released at the same time have already had like two to three patches already, and they´re probably still broke to some extent. It has made the mod scene that much better because of a lack of confusion with versions and such. Anyway. X2 ´s trailer is very nice, and it makes me salivate thinking about it. There was a certain depth to the way they have modelled outer space. It really is worth downloading and checking out. Fileplanet is the place to go if you don´t know. _______________ What do you know

Ok...I guess that I got a little spoiled be TNG´s payout of 1,000,000 credits after mission 2, or is it mission one. So, I guess I´ve been getting a little lazy lately. The info screen deal is that TNG just lists the ships names without any stats. It just makes for quicker perusal, thats all, no scrolling downwards to see what other ships are available, its all right there in front of you. See. more laziness so that I don´t have to SCROLL DOWN. Man, do I live in the lap of luxury or what. The poor bastards in Iraq still don´t have electricity, and i´m worried about having to SCROLL DOWN a little. <As he leans his head back> HONEY, GET ME ANOTHER BEER, AND CHANGE THE DAMN CHANNEL.
