Ok, glad it was just a corrupted download and not another problem to sniff out!

Liberators boarding parties can be used to capture enemy structures just FYI =P
Have fun with the alpha, I'm working on finishing Rheinland's ship lineup

Hey Wintercross,

I've been playing your mod for about a week now and I have to say it's been very enjoyable. Thank you very much for putting the effort in to create it. I have however just had my first mini dump, would you like me to send you the data?

Thanks again

Barno

I'd have no idea what to do with minidump data to be honest.

Did you have random events enabled? as there is a known cause that needs fixing.

just some new pics to share:

Rheinland 'Nidhogg' VHF armed with 4 plasma cannons and twin torpedo launchers

Liberty 'LSF Patriot' LF Ace (and as a bonus the newer L01 skybox in the background)

and here is the Upholder that was taking a beating from the Patriot

Here is some in game shots of the Bretonian 'Armstrong' Destroyer:

The Armstrong is a robust design that has served Bretonia for many generations.
It's powerful heavy particle cannons give it impressive firepower to take down larger ships and it's secondary Capital Heavy Missiles can also deal heavy damage. It's main weakness is against fighter craft for which it is unable to engage. (BAF Commanders should be vigilant to ensure stubborn Armstrong Captains don't chase down fighters which they can never hope to hit)

The particle conversion shields on the Armstrong can be switched into what BAF crews call a 'sparking field' mode.
The conversion shield is altered to input extra power into the particle cannon capacitors vastly increasing their fire-rate and potential damage. This creates an unusual visual appearance of sparks and flashes of shimmering light around the Armstrong.
However it should be noted that this ability will considerably weaken the shields ability to protect and can leave the Armstrong vulnerable to counter attack.

Bretonian ships (especially their capitals) favor high survivability and heavy, forward weapons batteries.
Their Hull and Shields are probably second best amongst the colonies, though their maneuverability is a little lower than equivalent Liberty ships.

Also because of their preference of heavy forward guns, they are vulnerable to flanking maneuvers.
Another weakness is the Bretonian persistence in ornate designs for their ships which increases their production costs significantly.

Some more pictures for fun and entertainment...

 Just some shots of a Defender group with a couple of Upholders:

the new 'Victory' class Gunboat for Liberty:

Been getting HEEEEEAAAAPS of voice actors so the next update should have a lot of new voices =D

Some Bretonian ships in game!

when do u plan to do a new build

I'm still working on the Bretonia update which adds them in as playable. I'm about 90% done with it, but there are a few vital things that need to be completed before I can release it.

any idea when it will be out end of this month or ?

I'm really not sure... I'm pretty much working on this solo and I also have a little one to look after so it depends on how much time I can spare towards the mod.

Hey me agian just was thinking are you planning on making it some what custom on the weps you use like u can have diffrent types of weps on ships i dont know how you could get it in but i just think it would be nice doesnt go with the lore thought so idk if you will like the idea

I can't make it customisable in game, however some ships have variants with different load outs. The Liberty Defender for example; the MKI version is armed with a single autocannon and four long range missiles making it mostly a long range - first strike fighter, while the MKII refit swaps out two of the missile launchers for two plasma guns, and replaces the autocannon with two laser cannons giving it a more all-rounder type load out.

Then you also have Ace versions of most fighters.

oh ok i did say idk if u can do shame though would be cool if you could anyway next relise im going to get hold of this mod

some more pics of stuff I've been implementing:

Bretonian stuff:

Clydesdale Freighter

The Clydesdale is the Bretonian standard trade ship. Some combat refits will be implemented at a later date.

Arc Royal Frigate

The Arc Royal is an Audacious class Carrier Hull modified to operate as Bretonia's Marine transport/colony ship.
It carries a full compliment of Bretonian Marines and transport vessels to drop them planetside. While it is fairly tough, it is only lightly armed and should be escorted.

Corsairs:

Legionnaire Light Fighter

The Legionnaire is the Corsairs Light Fighter. They use it for scouting, raiding and direct combat. It's built for speed, durability and firepower. Armed with two twin barrel Neutron guns gives them impressive (if short ranged) combat ability.
Protect your freighers and VHF's, these LF's will kill them fast. 

the all look very cool are the corsairs going to be a full playable faction or just pirates or something?

Corsairs are both going to be the 'pirates' plus fully playable at a later date.

They will be hard to play as though, they won't be able to colonise planets till mid to late game for one thing. Though they will have lots of abilities geared towards stealing credits and resources from your enemies.

That kinda makes sence and what other outlaws do you plan on adding like will the libaty outcasts show up in libarty space etc

Other pirate factions that will show up are; Liberty Rogues, The Mollys, Blood Dragons and one of the pirate groups from Rheinland space.

ok nice thx

So im not usualy fond of making this kind of post, but its been a little radio silent around here. Did somthing Heppen to Wintercross. is the mod dead. Been really looking forward to this mod, so im just curious...

I'm still alive =P
Mod isn't dead, just slow progress for a while. Being a stay at home Dad has it's perks a long with it's downsides =P

I am getting close to finishing the next update... but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and don't want to release it till I'm mostly happy with it... 

Alpha v0.3 is now up on ModDB

I figured it wouldn't hurt to poke this.  How's it going over there, Wintercross?  The demo video is fantastic.
