Improved Vasudan Ships & A New Project
Saturday, March 25, 2000 - updated by Ice Heart @ 01:39 PM EST

I have just added a new MOD to the Downloads section which will add several improved versions of Vasudan ships to FreeSpace 2. Included in the MOD is a somewhat better armed Thoth which has two primary and secondary banks instead of just one primary and one secondary as the original Thoth has. There is also a much better armed Mentu which has rather effective anti-capital ship firepower and two variations of the Aten cruiser. One has slightly better anti-fighter defenses and an anti-capital ship beam. The other has no anti-capital ship defenses but does have much improved anti-fighter defenses.
At the moment I am working on a set of background textures that will work like Volition's FS2 Sathanas backgrounds which simulate a large fleet of Sathanas juggernauts in the distance. These backgrounds will simulate Terran, Vasudan, or Shivan destroyers, corvettes, and cruisers in the distance. I plan to make a set for each species. This might be helpful for those who want to have Battle of Endor style missions without the problems that having a large number of ships in a mission can create.

What Hypermod? Oh that.

I have received mails form many people asking about updated versions of the hypermod. Some have gone so far as to ask if I was still alive, rest assured I am working on it. To familiarize you, I have begun working on changing the total list of weapons I.E. if its in the game it wont be for long.

Everything is going to be changed (save the models and the actual hard work). Projectile weaponry and more missile variants wil be included, maybe even a guided missile (if I figure it out).

If I really have a lot of time you may expect to see a total conversion to the nature of one of my RPG's. This will of course conclude overhauled A.I. and models. At best I'm going to give that maybe eight months.
