i notised in the mini-mod the death animations were very fast.

is this oin purpose, to help lower-end PC's

if so, i would like to see a version with very long death animations, because i like to se a battle with burining wrecks of ships.

Oh, right. I don't have death clones made for the new ships yet. I've made that a sort of tertiary priority.

me too would like to see longer death animations, it just seems more realistic (though it might not be) and just looks cool. Well of course small ships shouldnt take more than like 10 secs for death animation, but for big capitals i would like them like 2-3 minutes long, or longer! otherwise just keep up the good work!

Hopefully something I can go back and fix later, but it really takes a disproportionate amount of time to do, so I've skipped it for now in favor of content.

[Dr-Ludvig]

understandeble, but it'd be nice to se at some point.
so the new ships wont have any death animations??

[Phoenix Rising]

Negative. All models will feature improved graphics since the mini-mod, but no death clones (I can only do so much on my own). I figure it's better to patch it in later than delay the release by another month or so.

[Dr-Ludvig]

okay, and i agree.
dont want any more waiting! not that we need to rush, but DANG this is looking sweet -Drools-
so how will it look when a ships goes down? just nothing or how?
oh and something else, do you have an appr size of the realease? (someone just downgraded from cable to dial-up..)

i am going to bet this wil be a hair less than 50MB

[Phoenix Rising]

Uhh, I'll try to at least increase the explosion particles. It'll look kind of cheesy, but better than it does now.

I don't have an exact size on what it will be compressed, but at the same rate of compression as the mini-mod, it will be around 105 MB. There is a considerable amount of new content.

[Dr-Ludvig]

okay, thats cool. it should do for the death animations..
ouch, 100mb is alot on dial-up....
