Wow, I'm almost like.. on schedule! Amazing!

Not as exciting an update as I'd hope, but I've been out of the game for a week. Interesting stuff is coming.. :).

Cool, thanks for the shout. Hope you feel better.

Woooot! The Cap Ship Cometh!

I won't be able to play a lot for a week or two, so I guess I won't recognize Vendetta when I come back :).

Still I can't wait to see all the things you're hinting. I think there's a word for this state of mind: Drool!!!

Mmm. Another update that manages to taunt us so much without actually saying anything.

Yah, I just want another competition at this point, I don't really need the new devices so much as a reason to use the old ones. People are just sorta abandoning CTC.

Looks good, I can't wait.

/me starts hording up money to take out the cap ship with.

by the end of the month? awesome!

/me verifies his account info is current :)

i hope you are feeling better john and that you did not infect any other devs. and on that note, the rest of you better be chomping down on foods with vitamin C!

I think an "OMFG W00T!!!1!11" is in order. :D

"Mostly I'm focusing on story-driven gameplay additions, some signs of which should be appearing in the short term (next week). Named NPCs, backgrounds, behaviours, histories (including the UIT sub-factions and corporations), and other work. All towards making the universe a more vibrant, organic place."

Humm, can we have some more detail about this? Pleaseeee! Oh man how do you guys give away so little with so many words?!?!

Heh, on that note, Incarnate should really look for a job as a political speech writer if Vendetta (god forbid) falls through.

Umm, how about a screenshot of this cap ship in beta-testing? It's not top secret, is it? :P

The cap ship doesn't look that much different. The docking bay was expanded to allow.. well.. docking, but the ship mostly looks the same as it does in the old screenshots. The important thing is getting it to behave right. Andy had to make a whole new control system for it, to allow it to manage its gigantic mass. Plus we're still in the midst of making new AI behaviour that's specific to it, so it won't be.. say.. retarded and run into things ;). The behaviour for a tiny AI fighter doesn't work so well when applied to a gigantic cruiser with giant momentum.

Also, I wrote that in progress update kind of late, when I was very tired.. so I wasn't very specific, or verbose. But, once we get this whole "open design doc" thing going on, we'll be about as specific as anyone could possibly want, I think.

Oh i'd like too see that...
