is the high priority tasks a list of stuff that will be done before the next update?

Don't think so Dircome: at least as far as long as I can remember, the task bar is more for our own edification in what tasks overall remain. Some of the high priority tasks have been there for three patches or more

thats true but i was jw because they havent updated it for a while so i was thinking maybe that policy had changed.

I think the newton should get the tractor beams, just to make it more useful, and worth building.

I think a tractor beam would be awesome, it would be much more effective to tractor a ship home rather than try to fix it in the middle of a huge battle where you have to protect your relatively weak newton AND the disabled ship until repairs are done. Which can take a while if repair function is not fully upgraded.

more or less that is true. actually the high priority stuff are tasks that *should* be done first. that is obviously not always the case. high priority may be misleading, but i couldn't think of a better name for that class of todos...

Hehe, nice Doca
I think high priority makes sense: it's really the information after the "high priority" that doesn't make sense... "before next release" and "another future version" are strange classifications based on what I've seen... as the tasks migrate back and forth

• Federation Custom: New Orleans Class (just cause Optec loves it!)

Totally awesome

you are right...maybe i should just name them high, normal and low and drop the whenever section..there is not much difference between "future version" and "whenever" anyway...

And the tasks are flying down!

So, how are you guys doing on the three new races? Are they almost done?

Hmmm.... it seems as though something put the breaks on progression? I wonder what is going on. Is progression slow because someone lost a copy with all the new fixes?

Okay, enough teasing... anyway where is the forum for the patch proj ideas?

As far as I know/heard Fralo, only Noxter are planned for version 3... Ciadan will make it in as NPC eventually... and Iconians have been delayed. New factions take time

Hmmm.... it seems as though something put the breaks on progression? Huh? I wonder what is going on. Is progression slow because someone lost a copy with all the new fixes? LOL

Progression is not slow, there are a ton of changes being implemented and things need to be thoroughly tested. If you'd like to know a little more, send me a PM and I'll see what I can explain--if I can explain things

Version 3? When is that coming out? It sounds like a really long time from now. Oh, well. Patience is a virtue as I like to say. Anyway, I think it would be cool if there were a bunch of non player races that could be hired as mercenaries. Maybe Species 8472 Bioships could appear on a map and attack you and your opponents randomly. The same could be with others like the Kazon, Xindi, and Andorians. Also, could you guys have any sneak peaks for the Iconian and Ciadan vessel types?
