What does VR mean?

VR doesn't, in this case, stand for Virtual Reality, but more for "Vital Responses"

How "acurate" are the ships going to be?

Within the comfines of the game engine they are as accurate as possible. This is also as I've done them myself. Build times and resource costs are quite high, but then they have to fall into the usability of the single player (as the entire mod is being tailored to this)

Approximatly how big is it going to be(file size)?

Unknown at present, but the current status of the mod (federation playable ships/station, higher detail planets), is aprox 109mb decompressed and around 37mb when zipped.

Approximatly how big is it going to be(ships and stations)?

Ship and station sizes are estimated within the game engine. I have kept fairly large sizes (as previously seen in posted images), but there are possible pathing problems to take into account.

When will it be released?

I generally tend to work at my own speed which means that it'll take longer than normal (The good news is, even though a few minor bugs were found in the initial Alpha test the current status of the mod is such that it is bug free).

Where will it be released?
Will it be released at armada2files?

As it currently stands the mod is set for a wide spectrum release. This means that both here and AFC will receive a copy of the final mod.

Does it use the stock weapons or good looking weapons?

Yes and no. As i have very little experience with textures I tend not to touch them, so alot of the weapons textures are donated by other people. Achilles, for example, has done a fine job with a couple of federation torpedo sprites.

Whats the theme?

Basically put its more of the same from the original but set around 2 years later than BI2.

Does Major A Payne have a british accent(optional)?

No comment!!

Ah, now I follow you. Anyway. Theres a complete overhaul of the original selection of stations and non combat based ships (1 of each to replace the originals and because theres a normal selection of stations there isn't a need for any others).

how about in .rar? under 10 MB?

Unfortunately, not. Its around 30mb at the current time.

I'm open to all offers of texture work so feel free to email me anything you may have done (mapayne@mail.com)

Medafusion. By "wide spread" release I mean it'll be made available to anyone who wishes to host the mod. BTW. Is starbase176 yours by any chance??
