Ok.... after viewing the "demo" a few times and getting some rather good reviews...
I've decided on a "new" plan....
Some of you may not like this... but i feel it will make XLR so much better..
Im about to kill of ALOT of ships ppl.. and i mean ALOT! basically... with a mod that looks this good... we don't need an Uberverse that caters for "everyone".. which was the whole idea behind having 100's of ships.. there will still be a large amount of ships to play with, Im just taking out alot of the un-needed/non faction ones.. and alot of older ones.. this will also make room for the "new" ships (that have to be re-converted) and keep the BETA's filesize right down.. (we were looking at about 600meg ziped!).. Sci-fi faction ships ie: SW/ST/B5 will be replaced with much better models were i can..
but things like 30 odd Federation ships will disapear.. to be replaced with a real working fleet structure that "feels" right.
I'll still be keeping some extras (like all the enterprises A-G) but ships like the cornith.. can go.. u know... the "ugly" ones lol...
Permissions also have a lot to do with this... Im getting the ubershits chasing up all these long lost freelancers.. and it's starting to get to me...
I've spent way more time the past few months chasing FL model makers than i should have.. and im still unshure as to what i can use... and why i can't use what i can't use... no other community is like this!.. there are the cool exceptions (Griff/Gibbon/Bane) who have kept my faith strong.. but it is wearing VERY thin!
I don't get this crap from guys like Kreeargh and Major (who make fantastic models!)... don't see why i get it from the FL community. And i'm starting to see why Firekiss packed up and left... (sniff) fortunately... that's not my way.. I'm a "bitter end" kinda guy..
That said... I promise you'll like the BETA even better than the ALPHA.. it may come a little "leaner" but it'll be a hell lot "cleaner".. and of course as always.... "Meaner"
Sorry for the negative tone of this post... but its were my heads at with FL (not XLR i love my baby! just FL in general!) and after 2 and a half years of doing it all myself... I'm feeling the "burnout" coming.. and want to avoid "that" at all costs!..
