Vegastrike 0.0.6 Released

The latest version of Vegastrike has been released -- version 0.0.6 is now available! VS is an all-new Wing Commander engine which will form the basis for a number of other fan projects. Here's commentary from HellcatV on the new release...

Finally I have enabled weapons so that spacebar now fires!

This release also shows the glowing engines... they'll soon dim as you lower the throttle, but right now they're just decorations :-)

I have made some major improvements to AI and am proud to announce that some of the critical low level AI functions are complete! This means that in a matter of weeks we might have an active enemy that will fight against us!

Vegastrike is coming to fruition! Check out the latest release, and if you want to change the information about lasers (such as speed, range and radius) you might wish to edit the weapon_list.xml Add your own weapons and put them on the hornet.xunit :-) both open in notepad!

Good luck all!

HotT Water

Here's some more... ah... aquatic HotT art. Call me crazy, but I absolutely love the Cerberus one.

Correction: UE Screenshots

I need to take a moment to apologize to the Unknown Enemy team for posting the wrong screenshot yesterday -- Pedro asked me not to post the intro shot in the package he sent me... which I assumed was a scene of a Bengal with some text. Apparently that was the wrong picture, to clarify the misunderstanding.

From: Military Emergency Control HQ

We have had a distress message from some ships that have been caught in the middle of a fight between two rival pirate clans. The area is also very busy with other space traffic and as word of the fight spreads, more pirates will come to join in. You have the unenviable task of taking out the pirates. It is a very challenging task, but the reward will be a large sum. This is taking place at Nav Point 20.
