That's ok, but why the secrecy? Its not like you are doing top secret programming updates of US military drones...

That secrecy is there to preserve space for new suggestions or changes of single tasks (to not make promises where things can still change alot and come out very different from the first idea ingame) and to not confuse people with a list that's like dozens of walls of text.

Also, most listed tasks are popular and kinda desired in general.
The tasks not listed can also be considered the big tease of FO-development.

Also if that list were stretched do to it not being secret do you realize how long that page would be

BUT THEN, it'd take soooooooooooo long to read the next patch would be out by the time you fineshed!!


EDIT: Also this:

100!!!!   I'm glad to announce that this thead has reached 100 posts

I hope it doesn't reach the 1000 one day... but this topic would also be okay for V4 and up. I see the title was chosen wisely. 

I have reply 1008, incase you didn't notice.

Lets hope the next thousand post go as awesomly as the last

i am interested to know are there mainly high priority points that will go into the redo or a mix of all the priority sections? (both visable and hidden)

"The Forge station from Elite Force 2 - model" listed in the low priority section, does it mean the one from elite force 1 instead?

The lack of a Forge in EF2 implies that is a typo.

yeah thats what i thought but i wasnt sure if it could of meant the Attrexian station which was some kind of forge iirc or was it a mining facility?

I was thinking... A good scout vessel would be a run-about I've always liked them since DS9, there like a warp capable shuttle but for exploration and I'd think it would make a fine scout vessel in fleet ops.... Maybe one to add to the project wall

The model has been built already. You probably will see it at some point.

yes, mixed that up when writing that todo. i meant the attrexian station from the 4th mission of elite force 2.

Hi. I'd like to second the well done to the team. I do have a question though about one of the high priority tasks. It's the Borg scout being too easy to board. I would like to start my question with a statement on the task, "Boo ho, do allow me to get the smallest violin to hand to play a sombre tune". Considering the Borg have so many mechanism to assimilate everything within site and have massive crew complements compared to the other factions, why is this a concern. Plus if someone does manage too get a boarding move down on a scout, how much firepower does that really represent? Oh no a fleet of tiny scouts is coming. Note: Despite this rant, I would like to point out that I have massive respect for all the parties who made this mod possible and a real joy to play :-) . I'm only asking about the high priority task out of curiosity.

The problem with having your Borg scout stolen isn't that you lost firepower (scouts are almost worthless for their firepower), it's that you lost your scout. ie you cant use it to scout. which is very important as scouting is important.

borg can't even cloak, so losing their scout is losing all their scouting.

Hey Doca any plans to include the Idryll Capital ship, shuttles and fighters from EF2 as well? I really thought the design of their capital ship was pretty unique and attractive.
