This is all fine and good but I got one major question that I"m sure we all want to know, just how far out is the mod? Not that we're rushing but you guys already made a tasty new game addiction with the current setup but with these clan planets and ships coming, I'm just salivating at the urge to fly my new vessle. Good frickin work and thanks from myself and all I'm sure.

You won't get an answer from admins on that, giving a date / timeline just means things will get rushed, this causes mre hassel and dissatisfaction down the road, (e.g anything writen by MS). Last mod got rushed to meet deadlines set, this one won't be. Just have patience, it will be ready when its ready, and worth the wait

Oh don't get me wrong I'm not asking for specifics, all i'm asking is how far along are they.

Ok theres an easy way to sort this out. Non biased, non opinionated.
Strail and the makers/testers could sort this out. Its Strails mod, its his server, if it wasnt for him, we wouldnt be having this discussion. If he thinks these ships should be available to all, why should we argue? The same applies too if he thinks they should be just for clans.
You guys made these ships. A hell of a lot of time and effort went into them, so if you are prepared to put extra work in to make them available to all, the choice is there.

The suggestions I made were just that, suggestions. It would take more work for both Strail and Carter if what I suggested happened. So it should by all rights be their choice. They are the only two who can look at this objectively, without argument and rants.

@Way
What about those already in clans. After that speech about respect, its a bit unfair to expect those in clans without ships to just leave and join another clan for the sake of a ship.
And no, i dont really mind what happens with the ships, i can cope either way. Im not doing this for personal gain.

Just a small correction to your post X22. Carter did not make the ships. Although Carter worked her backside off making skins and testing the new ships.

As far as this debate goes, regardless of which way it goes, there will always be whiners. I have seen some great comprimises posted here and yet, the whining continues.

Carter and I spoke about it before the post was made.

We have our opinions but it was important for us to get an input from the players before we decide on which course we would take.

Carter is supplying the clan ships plus others, and we also have a number of additional ships from other contributers.

The ships are being balanced and tested so that we hope, there is not one ship that everybody will use. We also hope tht the balancing of the ships will mean that players will want to try many of the ships before deciding on their favourite. The new factions will also have their own ships, rather than using existing ships.

Its fair to say that the new mod will be very large (compared to the existing one) and this will mainly be (circa 80%)down to the ships and their files.

Carter · Post by **Carter** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 1:15 pm

Yes the start of this thread was because Strail and I had talked about what to do with these clan ships once they are in the game.

So this thread was started to hear from the players of void their ideas and wishes of the ships. There has been some realy good compromises expressed here and I think now we need to take a step back and look at all the responces put them together and come up with a plan that will fit best with the players of void.

Also Sh03z if the only one on the modeling team that is a freelancer so i think even if the decision is made to make the clan ships just clan ship he should have acess to the ships. He has put alot of work in the models and i want him to be able to fly his ships. I hope the clans agree with me.

Deffinately Carter, Sho3z, is really the unsung hero in this, and it would be a shame if he couldn't fly half his ships. Same goes to anyone else who worked on them, whoever it may be.

[EDIT] Sorry i nicked your pic of our ship for my sig, but its best i've sean so far, still trying to get one i really like

Well said Wayfarer, well said!

Sorry for my mistake, i wasnt sure who had made the ships, ive not really heard much about them. (the makers, not the ships.)
Again sorry if i caused offence.
PS i agree with Carter, everyone who had a hand in making the ships should be able to fly them, no matter what the decision is. Even if it was just testing them, they should be able to fly them in the new mod.

X22 your attitude is appriciated.
The challange of keeping all of the aspects of the Void Mod
balanced and fair for everone is not an easy task.

Thank you once again to all for their hard work,
and to all for their patience.

Good things on the horizon peeps!

Clans...

The New Clan Ships

Should the new clan ships be buyable by all players or Just for clans?
