I've made SH4 Skipper Alpha version available for testing on a limited basis. I've put most of my energy into the multi-installation architecture and the new individuated change/auto-rollback model (very different to SH3 Commander). The number of game parameters it can change right now is deliberately small, but once I'm satisfied the fundamentals are intact it should be fairly straight forward to add more.

PLEASE, MAN, PLEASE, MAKE IT A CREW MANAGEMENT LIKE SH3 SO I CAN GIVE MEDALS AWAY TO MY CREW AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:
A damn, fine work, man!!!!!
Any possible ETA to complete?
Any link?
Screenshoot?
Anything?:up: :up: :up: :up:

No ETA. It'll happen as it happens.

I expect once I move to the next phase I'll be focussing on things that affect game play rather than less immediately urgent things like prettying up the crew management. I know everybody's got their favorites but you're not going to get everything at once. I have my priorities.

Here's a screenshot:

I forgot to ask: Will it be compatible when 1.3 patch is out IF you release it sooner?:hmm:

Sheesh, will you calm down already? :roll:

When he's ready to release it he'll release it!

I can't help myself, I wanna see my crew decorated as much as possible like in SH3. But I will stand down, and I will monitor this thread every 4 hours....:ping:

Potoroo, are you going to have a feature that randomly eliminates up to 1/3 of the crew after each patrol?

One of the best features I liked about SH3 Commander was the Crew Reports. I actually printed them out and all the mission details. I hope this will also be a part of the SH4 version to include who shot down each aircraft.

You read my mind,GSpector...:yep:

Print them out?

All the time I spent copying everything into my personal reports and I never thought of that.:damn:
