Apologies for my reclusiveness of late, but I've actually been doing something that I haven't had a whole lot of opportunity to do up until now. That is to say, managing, because Ghostrider has joined the Phoenix Rising team as our Quality Assurance Lead! And we have been working like mad on v1.1.

Those of you who frequent the forums should remember Ghost, he's been a veteran presence around here for over a year. The consummate "idea guy", he's been proposing changes to the mod in an unofficial capacity for just as long, a some of which have already been adopted for the next version, including a station revamp and addressing pirate forces. Privately, he's also developed a couple of useful balance tools and made his own tweaks to the mod, notably concerning campaign starting forces. I've therefore tapped him to be in charge of quality assurance with the overall responsibility of finding ways to improve the mod.

His first major assignment is to work on the Galaxy Far, Far Away campaign and, by extension, its three sub-campaigns... but I'll let him discuss what he's done himself. Expect a report within the next few days!

Cool. This mod keeps getting better. When is 1.1 going to be here? I can't wait.

Before the end of the year, one way or another.

Just a few short questions on version 1.1.
1.It will introduce the CSA as a playable faction, but I haven't seen to many of their units. The ones I have seen are great(especially their capital ship) but I think they should be a little more unique in terms of units, rather than giving them imperial and rebel units. Are you planning of bringing in any more in the future?
2. In version 1.1 will palpatine receive the eclipse as his own ship(or will it appear at all)? If yes then where would you build it? Byss or Kuat?

Simply loving this mod so far especially in terms of original units being artistically added and given stats according to the actual information available on them. Keep up the great work. :blush: :ohmy:

It will introduce the CSA as a playable faction for Skirmish. I still don't know a way to get a PR tech tree working for a third-party faction in GC.

2. In version 1.1 will palpatine receive the eclipse as his own ship(or will it appear at all)?

I can give him the Sovereign as his final hero upgrade. Really it's the same difference, except that adding a unique Eclipse model would take days.

Look at PR Enhanced for the Palpatine with Eclipse (actually a Sovereign)
