The FO Team's Version

posted on April 13th, 2009, 3:47 am

So, I was just wondering. Seeing as how this is a modder's version of the game, and they can do whatever the heck they want with it, have you guys modded yur own mod? Like...do you have anything different than our "stock" FO game? Just a thought. I thought it'd be neat to hear from the FO team if they've done anything neat to their versions that we haven't heard about.

Well i clearly dont speak for the team but there version is probabally closer to a prototype rather than modded.

hm nope, I do just have some development versions, testing new stuff and implementing the features for the next patches, but nothing specular moded that wouldn't make it into a patch one day

I think what auxilio ab alto is basically asking is, do the developers have "experimental" versions of Fleet Ops? That is, versions with (probably failed as if they succeeded they would not doubt make into the release) ideas in them that aren't going to be implimented in the actual realease... Of course, since you guys have a laundry-list of pre-established goals, I doubt that you want to (or get the time to) "play around" with the code much, unless of course it's in an attempt to get something you want to put in a release to work...

Didn't really need to clarify that, Optec had already answered your question. =)

of course there is stuff that is either disabled, not included or just not used in the release versions. some features are taking a lot longer to develop than the few weeks between the patches we had since release of v3.0. for example there is code for a bigger change for the borg build system in the upcoming 3.0.6 that already exists in 3.0.5, which however didn't make it into that version because we didn't have the chance to test it a lot (turned out to be a good decision ).

yeah guys, it sounds like you guys were thinking they had huge secrets, probably not,  just little stuff, i think theyd tell us if there was somthing big comming, like they did when they wanted to add noxter, if they were going to add a new race, like tholian or bajorn(which would be weak) wed know, besides there versions are probably run around with bugs
