That's the beauty of the site though:D I can always make later versions of any MODs created as new features come along.

Are you able to build a graphics engine to rival Half-Life 2?

-Unfortunately, we cannot change the graphics engine in A2. That would recquire decoding the game engine. Which:

1. Is almost impossible without state of the art expensive programs and-

2. The makers coded it becouse that is something they don't want you to be able to just change.

Also, the graphic quality doesn't depend just on the engine, what matters the most is the models and their textures. We plan to have all new ships and models made to look as realistic as possible. All I can say right now is the graphics will be great, but we are not game developers just modders and some stuff just can't be done. but we will do the best possible.

I'm not saying I don't believe you, but before I the name was even chosen I searched extensively for a like name but none came up. I don't want a MOD with the same name as another. But I aslo don't want to change the name unless I absolutely know for sure that another exists. But I will look into it more and see if I can find anything.

Yeah I have seen it too, over at Armada Fleet Command I believe. I think it is a Armada 1 mod.

I prefer gameplay to graphics but will you be able to do things like decrease build times by using multiple const. ships, have ramming speed, make buildable hero ships etc. ?

Ahhh but what about having the best of both worlds. And as for using multiple const. ships to build stations we've been working on that. But Hero ships will not be buildable because it defeats the purpose of having them in the first place.

If anyone knows how to make it possible to use multiple const. ships to build stations then do tell.
