Zunni wins for keeping us informed on the latest happenings.
At least with this ammo thing, theres no more running back to base for ammo or asking for ammo <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The dev team decided to set very strict guidelines as to what will make “a build” worthy of being called NS 3.0 Final. What features we want it to have, what bug fixes, and what other changes (maps, etc). When we release a beta we will be referring to that list and when the list that we have created has been completely "checked off", then that build is 3.0 Final….<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Okay, Zunni, can u plz tell us what's in the "<u>To do list</u> before u can call the game 3.0 official" ?
and if you can, say what the B5 changelog is, even if somethings are not for certain, just put a start "*" next to them or something... so we could get and idea about what is coming.... thanks man.

I can't/won't do either. I'll continue making new announcements and keep dropping a few more tidbits of data.
A few days before the release I'll be releasing the majority of the changelog since anything I say at that point will be final.
As explained elsewhere, I'm not having a "We're doing this, no wait we are actually doing this" conversation. No-one would have the time to keep that all straight. And I wouldn't have the time to keep the updates going.
For example voogru handed me another small changelog which has to modify 5 items, (either update or revert) and that's typical of what I get from a dev pretty much daily. So we would be talking about approx. 15 changes DAILY to be updated.
It doesn't make sense. No other software company does it, and it's not a good use of my time.
ok since we are representing everything visually now, is there gonna be supermarket trolley wheels attached to the top of jetpacker's helmets and anti-50-trillion-Gees-shock-absorber-springs put on their boots and their face, and 50-killabazillibigallillion-ton-horizontal-retro-thrusters stuck onto their sides to help them go from full speed to zero in less than 1/100th of a second, or is the jetpack gonna be fun and behave with some logic like in Tribes?
What exactly is the point of withholding information anyway, other than having some critical gameplay problem slip through only to ruin NS again for another 5-6 months.
kk... nyway i love those ammo packs look's cool... oh and 1 more thing, what's up with ns been steam official? You guys said that it was gona be steam offical when u released v3.0 Beta .. now wer gona be at B5 and still it's not steam official? any news bout that?

Well... to be honest, I'm way behind on a software application I'm writing and so spent the evenings this weekend working on that. (Work = $$$ and $$$ means my family is fed)
Plus, I recently completed an interview for an international fan site, and was hoping to release the link to that at the same time as a new update.
But that hasn't been 100% completed yet, so I won't hold it up any longer..
I started on it this afternoon and will finish it later this evening.
And pssst, might wanna turn on AF for the next batch of screenys. Its something new players would look at after all <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Not that it matters alot, but its not a big effort to change.
