i have to agree with Phantom on this half the fun is moulding your crew bernard included into a good crew of trim fighting(boozing)men.:up:

Hope this Ubercrew mod won´t be a Uber bernard mod... :()1:

I takes about forty seconds to take out the crew portions
so I will do that and then post 1.3.1 with the crew bits gone
and the campaign long term loadout corrected.

back in a little bit.

[edit]

there seems to be some confusion over the evasion pattern included in 1.3.1

just to clear it up a bit.

the evasion pattern as it is will be of no use to players unless you have no other waypoints
and the course you need is due north.

otherwise its just there for me to experiment with to see what will work about it.

MM

[edit] there seems to be some need to point out that all of the original testers
that recieved uber1.1 are now good to just plain have fun until im done
2.0 at which point one or two of you will be asked to help with that.
but for now Ubergroop just eat em n smile.
MM

[edit] I know that 1.3.1 Handles ok but does anybody think I need to turn the
hull drag back up a bit or is it ok to me it seems to scud a little in the hard
corners.

also I have personally found it nice to be able to go back to using the keyboard
to steer without bleeding near so much speed. its a better method than
mouse steering in battle.

Same here....sometimes deck gun crew is dreaming of something spectacular..... i don´t know. They´re hanging the gunbarrels to the opposite side. Maybe it´s the psychological warfare? Showing ass to the enemy....
When i turn the guns by myself to right direction and go back to bridge everything is normal. They fire like hell...

I just had another go at Happy Times, now, everytime I play that, I am NOT happy unless I destroy EVERYTHING! LOL :D

When is the next incarnation coming MM!?

Next incarnation is a while away yet PG.
I decided to put out 1.3 now become 1.3.1 to give
every one a whet appetite and something to do
while I chip away at 2.0

2.0 as it turns out will not be a modification of 1.3.1 instead
its a complete from the ground rebuild based on a IXD2 instead
of a IXB.

Even to my indulgent eye Uber 1.3.1 and its predecessors look
a little rough hewn, I am confident that Ill have 2.0 up to the
same standard as the 1.3.1 version by the end of the day.
but I have hopes of taking it further and need sometime
for study and practice. in an attempt to put some polish
on the big guy. There are some unique challenges in
the correction to the aft deckgun mount. and it may
take a little more than one new set of skills to defeat them
all.

Im about to do my second test of the day I had just popped in
to clear messages will be back on in a while.
So far though progress on 2.0 is steady and as expected.
