<div class="IPBDescription">and how you can help</div> Ok, abiding by the new nicey-nicey approach *shakes fist at MonsE*
1.1 is due for release soon. It is at the final stages of testing, before you can download and play it.
I've been seeing a lot of threads (since the changelog began) about how this aspect of 1.1 is great, or will have a big impact, or will MAEK NS TEH WORST GEMA EVAR!!!!112. Ok, I understand the community as individuals have their own oppinion about what NS should be like. I also understand the occaisional necessity to vent teeenage angst (****! now I'm SOUNDING like MonsE). Thats all well and good.
HOWEVER
As 1.1 gets closer, threads requesting things adding to it, or to leave bits alone haven't slowed down. Stop and consider a moment. How likely is it that the build of 1.1, whose release could be just days away, will be stopped, scrapped and restarted to accomodate new features? More to the point, how popular will you be if you do delay 1.1 at this stage, with thousands of slavering players hungry for the new version....
Basically, all I'm saying is at this point, THERE IS NO WAY THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMUNITY CAN CHANGE 1.1.
Decisions have been made. Code has been written. Coffee has been spilled.
Spamming the boards with requests, or vitriol will only annoy the Mods (although less than spamming them with PMs). 1.1 is now virtually complete. Once its released, by all means post constructive suggestions about how to improve the next build. In the space thats left to 1.04, please don't waste your own time by complaining about how bad 1.1 will be. Instead........*reads MonsE's guidelines*....um....why not compliment other gamers on how beautiful they are in the Pic Post bit of Off Topic?

/edit
I wasn't trying to say the community is being ignored in the creation of 1.1, far from it. Thats why they have a S&I forum, and Clan invlolvement, and community playtesters.....
Yes, lots and lots of cofee for the euros trying to make some of the playtests that are at 3-4AM their time. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> And sometimes other drinks, depending on who you ask <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> .
But yer right our saying,or complaining about 1.1 may annoy the mods and slow down 1.1 or even to the point where Flayra might say [colorful metaphor] it and not release 1.1 at all.So be patient all you'll get it.

General: "You'll get your chance,believe me you'll all get your chance,good hunting dismissed."
Don't worry CobraChaos, my über prediction-skillz say that 1.1 will be out by mid to late july, meaning you'll be back in time.
still to console me you can tell me teh numbers to next weeks lottery*

*Woops lotto
Maybe to the point to become an "NS Playmaster" <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> hehe lol
Whoa.
I also understand the occasional necessity to vent teeenage angst (****! now I'm SOUNDING like MonsE). Thats all well and good.

(O/T: This is perhaps the funniest post I will read today. )
Anyhoo, agreed. I know you guys all want to make suggestions and add features and such. At this point it's pretty unrealistic to think they would make it into 1.1 even if the idea completely kicked bootie (such as perhaps a flamethrower, or a scorpian that hovars without flapping). So if you feel a huge, burning, can't-be-contained-urge to post your new idea about how Marines should have laser jockstraps that shoot missiles, make it for NS 1.2 or 2.0.
Thanks, and may Flay be praised...
Now that's... Hmm... Could it?... No... Or?... *scurries off*
Speaking of which, check out my ideas on Webbing, and a new possible cvar.
