I agree, this can only be VERY good news.

My internet connection is awesome!!! 32Mbits for 30 Euros a month
So I'd say very few people around the world have that kind of connection.

But that's not the topic here. The fact we're getting comprehensive modding tools is great.
But yes, it is a shame that the DRM sullies such great prospects.

It's not about the speed but reliability...
You should see my face when I sneak into convoy after 30 min of sweating and brain storming - with a massage on periscope "lost internet connection" !

But let us not steal the thread...

It's great that the game is (allegedly) more moddable than SH3 and SH4 and it's great that the devs have included some mod development tools, but IMHO mod control is gonna be a real b!tch!

Ohhh you have no idea. let me put it this way. Amongst us modders in SH4, we have what we call, "The circle runner award". We joke about it in private, and the pun being the mod combination cited by the end user, is tantamount to shooting a circular running torpedo.

Here's a few of the finer examples:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=997
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...36&postcount=1


Imagine this, X 10.

As an aside, I post this, in this manner so that if some end users from SH4 do read this.. Jebus H chris guys, Go easy with the mod combinations! If your using a supermod, odds are it's already incorporated the small stuff!

Wow, you're one lucky guy. I think we're paying about +100 euros a month for our 12MB cable internet (plus phone and TV). And we're damn lucky about it. Not too long ago, 3MB ADSL could be priced at 60 euros/month or more, and the service would be crap. And a lot of small towns here (even some capitals are small) don't have that much coverage, being stuck most of the time with the usual monopolistic crappy ADSL. Obviously, they didn't think of countries like ours, where we're still struggling to get quality offers.

Anyways, back on topic (sorry about that), I think I'll buy it anyways, just in case, and to try it of course, to see how it all ended since we saw the preview at Copenhaguen. And if I see the modding (and script programming) is fair enough (Mihai's post just gave me some hope again), I might even get into releasing mod stuff. But I need to try it first, I might even post a review, so that eveyone knows what they're getting their hands on to.

Cheers

Now people are happy but since most of us won't be buying (and modding) the game before DRM is removed, and this might mean not before 6 months or who knows how long, well... Not so exciting.
the whole information policy is pure crap!!! nothing to add on this topic...

this really sounds good news!
it seems that OSP doesn't interfere with modding at all.
and integrating mod-tool-kits isn't that bad either.

great achievement by the dev-team!!

All this sounds like a Microsoft Combat Submarine simulator.

The DRM might break the deal now, but once patched out, i might join.
but only when they change their game and let me play it offline.

Good news indeed, but the DRM still wrecks my party.
