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 uber****s 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!..
